Bought this over the Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 because it is slightly smaller (especially when fully extended), has smaller filter thread, and has better build quality. Was hoping that the image quality would be as good as the Oly, but I am afraid it just is not quite as good.

This excellent little lens was bundled for free with my GX85 kit and I'm so fortunate to have spotted this amazing deal when I was ready to pull the trigger on the GX85. I think it's a really nice complement to the 12-32 kit lens.

I've been using this lens to take photos and video at my church. Great sensitivity but not too sensitive. If you need a great lens for a Panasonic, this is a great option.

Responsive auto focus and an accurate viewfinder view of all images.

I use this on a Lumix G7 and G85 for video. Hard to beat for the price!

This lens is affordably priced and takes good sharp photos, but I am having trouble with focus in the higher mm range. When using in the 75 to 150mm range, the lens wants to focus on the distant object in the background and I have great difficulty in getting the lens to auto focus on the object of...

PANASONIC LUMIX G VARIO LENS, 45-150MM, F4.0-5.6 ASPH., MIRRORLESS MICRO FOUR THIRDS, MEGA OPTICAL I.S., H-FS45150AK (USA BLACK)

I found the Lumix 45-150 a good value lens that can add great flexibility to a m4/3 setup.Focusing, low light and sharpness are acceptable as is the build quality. You get what you pay for and hope for with this lens.

Ideal second lens for anyone with a Panasonic LUMIX G range camera.Better build quality than the standard 14-42mm kit lens and produces clear sharp images without the bulk or weight penalties of the 14-140mm or 45-200 mm lenses.
