I own it. Best value so far. Quiet AF and great stabilizer. Sharp, cheap but not too fast. Otherwise strong in every category. Focus by wire.

Re: 45-200m ?
Brian, so focus by wire means when I am in autofocus, and have subject in focus, I can then switch to manual focus mode, and focus is left at where it was left at in auto. I don't have to start manually adjusting the focus ...unless I want to...is that right? The opposite is true with the 14-140mm and I hate that.

Also, once you're rolling in MF, the focus assist won't work, although simple mechanical focus continues though no stop on these fly by wire jobs. Last, the AF on this modestly price lens is much quieter and faster than my 4/3rds Oly 14-55mm, which costs a lot more money. The Panny also has OIS -- the Oly doesn't, though the Oly is much faster and sharper and better optically. |

Re: 45-200m ?
Tested my 14-200 now and it seems VG, the trouble i find with my long nature shots is any wind seems to show up as shake with my tripod especialy using E-T-C , my tripod is fairly heavy but not like the huge things the pro tv people use.
