I am not a fan of such fancy superzooms but are there any tests & comparisons with current oly & pana zooms ?
I haven’t seen any review sites comparing them against each other, but on forums people unanimously recommend the Panasonic 3.5-5.6/14-140. It is slightly smaller, brighter and sharper than the Oly 14-150 and the older Pana 4.0-5.8/14-140.
….and Panasonic still can’t get some PL15’s shipped to them.
What is the deal to buy this lens instead the Pana or Oly versions? At this price could be interesting only a weather sealed version, must be somehow different from the competition or this lens will dye in warehouses.
Not sure about that too… Pana 14-140 v2 is excellent and its OIS can sometimes buy you an additional F-stop. I think Tamron were simply caught off-guard by the Panasonic lens. I guess they just decided to cut costs and test the waters – yet I think the price is too high to be really competitive.
Yes it is in stock and it will stay there until it is half the price. LOL
Why is it already version III? Were there any previous ones?
For Tamron， II in lens name means APSC image field ， III can only be seen in 14-150 MFT len.
Hey, Admin! One more time: if someone wants the GX1 with X lens, the price is $792.40, not $499. Check your links. $499 gets you the std kit lens.
