Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III VC

I'm using this on a GX85. I do a lot of traveling and this lens provides 28-300mm which is what my older Fuji bridge cameras would do, as well; so I really don't -need- to bring any other lens with me. Although sometimes I do pack the 25mm f1.7 just in case I anticipate some night shooting, I find the "night shot" setting on the GX85 (where it shoots multiple exposures and combines them) is mostly good enough.

I am not a "pro" (any more) and value convenience. My previous zoom was the 12-60 Lumix (which is way better than one would expect). As this 14-150 has the same maximum aperture -and- is just a smidgen longer and heavier, the 14-150 on the GX85 gives me back the conveniences of my bridge camera but with a sensor 4 times the size of my old Fujis. I'm extremely happy with it. Bought it for about $200, used, on eBay.
