    For same weight as Oly but have VC that is pretty appealing for general travel lens

    Point is, - much lighter, - 1/3 stop faster at wide angle, - possibly better OIS and/or faster AF, - possibly even cheaper.

    As always, we'll have to wait for price and test reports to know more...

    I don't see the point. Maybe a year ago when price of Panasonic 14-140mm was high...now always available new for under $600 on ebay.

    Now a 12-120mm f4 would really get my attention...

    Looks promising...

    AFC performance? Parfocal lens? Let's wait and see.

    Yep, Tamron superzooms lately have good reputation. I have 18-250mm for Pentax and it is good lens, 18-270mm is better according to feedback.

    Relying on the Tamron 14-150mm filter size, 52mm, that is 10mm smaller than one of the Panasonic lens, the maximum aperture (speed) of the Tamron's lens should decline fast from f/3.5 to 5.8 with the zoom focal length. Nonetheless, it is small and light, and --if its price is right while quality is decent-- the lens might be quiet popular as a "general all purpose zoom".

    It must be good lens, especially for fast run and gun, and cheaper than Panasonic.

    Circular diaphragm. Nice. This looks good...any idea of price?

    EDIT: Almost 1/2 the weight of the Panny 14-140/4-5.8 too. Be interesting to see how well the VC works compared to the OIS.
