Is the lens version 1 or 2? As far as I know, there are two versions of it.
There are two versions of the 3.5-5.6, 14-140mm, one is labelled HD, the other lacks this information. According to several Internet sources, however, the two versions are technically completely identical. When I bought it, the 3.5-5.6, 14-140mm was included WITHOUT HD labelling. This is the version that is NOT shown in the digitec pictures. There is/was a third version of the 14-140mm, but it has(d) an aperture of 4. The latter is supposed to be weaker in terms of optical performance, but this version does not correspond to the specifications of the KIT lens here at digitec and was not included as a KIT lens in my case.
It is the second version, it is smaller and lighter, the O.I.S. is suitable on the G81 Dual I.S. (2) and it trumps its predecessor in imaging performance.
