This is a useful and fun lens and I am sure glad I have it.
I would not have purchased this lens but it came bundled with my G85 camera and I am so glad it did. It stays on my camera all the time.

No weakness
This lens has nothing extraordinary, but is very good for everything: image quality, handling, weight. I like a lot the focal range. On the net, this lens is often 'trashed', and I was reluctant to buy it. Careful testing, even at 200/5.6, shows that image quality is very good.

Good image quality.
The photos this lens provides are good enough for most of my needs, and the 90-400 range is very good to have in a small, light package. and the best part, it was free as part of the G85, 12-60 combo. And having the 24-400 range covered in two small, light lenses is very good.

Average Lens
This lens is average at the longer focal lengths. It's quick to focus but shows signs of corner softness from 150 mm to 200 mm. The center is very sharp at 45 to 150.

Fast To Focus. Ok Sharpness at the long end.
A good solid lens for the money. A quick focusing lens that is very sharp below 100mm and very usable all the way up the 200mm.

not my favorite lens--I prefer the Panasonic 14 to 140mm lens better.
