Hi Everyone,
I purchased a GH2 kit about 3-4 weeks ago (I was able to snag one locally) with the 14-140mm lens. I am really enjoying the camera - there is so much to it and I am quite happy with its overall performance.
I have the following lenses:
14mm 2.5
20mm 1.7
45mm 2.8 macro
100-300mm zoom
I have used the primes extensively with the GH2 as I got it to be my travel camera. I just got the 100-300mm lens and I am quite happy with its performance to date.
My dilemma is the 14-140mm lens I received as part of the kit. It is a good lens and a nice range - I have taken several shots with it and they are sharp, which is impressive given that it is a 10x superzoom. I just don't use it ... it has been on the GH2 at most 3 times and that was to test it. Otherwise, I tend to use my primes.
I know the 14-140mm is optimized for video - and I do shoot some once in a while, but my focus (pardon the pun) is stills. So at present, I don't think I would miss it if I sold it... or would I?
So my question to you ... do you think I am crazy for wanting to sell the 14-140mm?
I don't have a financial need to do so ... I am just pragmatic. I know I will have a gap from 46-99mm with my other lenses, but I don't seem to miss it.
Anyway, thanks for any thoughts/insights you can offer.
