I realized I could show a size comparison on camerasize.com. But I see the Panny 14-140 they have is the older, larger,
much heavier version.
OLD Panny 14-140 =>
* Filter size = 62mm
* Dimensions = φ70 x 84mm / φ2.76 x 3.31 in.
* Weight = 460g / 16.2 oz.
* Accessories = Hood, Case
NEW Panny 14-140 =>
* Filter size = φ58mm
* Dimensions = φ67 x 75mm / φ2.64 x 2.95in.
* Weight = Approx. 265g / 9.35 oz.
* Accessories = Lens cap, Lens hood, Lens rear cap, Lens storage bag
With Panny 45-150 lens
* Filter size = 52mm
* Dimensions = φ62 x 73 mm / φ2.44 x 2.9 in.
* Weight = Approx. 200g / 7.1oz
* Accessories = Hood
Here's a comparison anyway. Imagine the Panny lens shorter, a lot skinnier much lighter - actually, closer to the 45-150
in size. <http://camerasize.com/compact/#594.97,570.34,570.347,ha,t>:-)

Delish!!
If you get the urge to lighten your photo gear load on these outings, you might look at the Panny GM5 and 14-140. I've
been falling in love with the GM5 for its very modest size and weight. It's better in both respects than the Oly E-PL
and E-PM bodies, yet includes a usable EVF, without having to add an external one.
But of course, the GMs don't have IBIS and the Oly 14-150 doesn't have OIS. So, after looking at reviews, I found that
the Panny lens is, if anything, perhaps slightly better in resolution, distortion, CA, etc. So I bit the bullet, sold
the 14-150 and a Panny 45-150 I bought before the 35-100 came out, and bought a 14-140. Not a free trade, but I found
a 14-140 being sold new, but not in box, taken from a body lens kit cheaper than anything else new.
Not much used as yet, although the Floating Gold image I posted that several loved was made with that combo. It's an
appealingly small and light kit with big capabilities. It actually fits in a Lowepro Dashpoint 30 I already had, which
can hang on my belt.
I read that Panny is giving up on the GM line and the GM5 is discontinued, but still available here and there new, and
of course used.
