What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Like the lense great value and good quality for the value. It's basically the same focal length as an iphone so easy to get used to framing with. Also, it feels a little plasticy compared to my old olympus lenses.
There is a tiny amount of focus shift, which can make it a little tricky to nail down focus when wide open. Stopping down does improve sharpness. Af is quick and zoom mechanism smooth.
The pros include image stabilization built in to lens. Makes normal image stabilized camera like om-d even more stabilized. The cons include the lack of image stabilization.
Works like a nifty fifty lens for the lumix g9. Had no problems mounting & using this lens.

This is simply untrue. Here is why.

For the price of this lens, it is an excellent value.
Awesome prime lens with an awesome price!
For the money, it’s a great introduction to prime lenses.
Overall:for the money, it's a no brainer.
Shipping
This lens arrived and at the start it worked great.
As advertised, product arrived on scheduled time.
Packaging/appearance
Came with a lens hood labeled "h-h025" but it doesn't fit.
Competitiveness
Adding this 14-140 lens actually makes the small gx85 a better choice for travel than the much bigger fz1000.
I purchased this lens over the olympus one primarily because of its lower price.
Comparing stills side by side, the quality is as good as and sometimes better than the gx85 12-32 kit lens, but this is less wide angle.
Also, it feels a little plasticy compared to my old olympus lenses.
