Hi all, just a quick question. I own the lumix 7-14mm and a voigtlander 25mm and now want a 3rd lens. I've narrowed it to the lumix 14-140 and oly 14-54mm, which I can get for around 200 cheaper. I know the olys faster and the lumix slower but it hasa greater range and I like the idea of a telephoto lens for fight sequences and punches, that's how their often done right? On the other hand I don't want to get it and find it too slow for indoors and night time shooting! What would you all opt for out of the two? Thanks
lumix 14-140mm v olympus 14-54mm

if pany or oly is all what u consider, and as u r saying u need telephoto - i would suggest get a Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm 2.8-3.5 , as 54 end is not really tele . as i understand u film from tripod! or rig? right? if not , filming tele from hands will be a challenge...
pany 14-140, is ok but only in a very controlled light situation and only if u going to use AF. is here is a nice option but i would not rely on it much. also AF here can do strange things - it can hold focus on object, but at the background it can jump back and forward..... kind of crazy..
plus with 2.8 u know using a 400-500 iso is big difference from using 800 or even more...
