My first post.

This is a very good power zoom lens from Panasonic, gaining many favourable reviews. Can have dual I.S. with Panasonic cameras GX8 & G85.

Normal price is around $699 from many authorised Australian stores, so more than 20% off. Don't know when this deal expires.

This is a manual zoom lens, not power zoom.

Good deal, I got it for a similar price during a 15% eBay sale.

  What's the lens like? Thinking of buying it as a travel zoom.

    It's pretty good, compact for what it is and quite sharp. I think I get some shutter shock with my GX7, which I can get around by using the electronic shutter.
    
    I used to use the Olympus 14-42mm and 40-150mm until I bought this one a few months ago. I've already used the 14-140 much more than I ever used the Olympus zooms, probably just due to the convenience of having the 10x range in one lens.

The reputation for this lens is very good for stills, but there are reports that there are significant jitters for video when using the power OIS. For example
