The Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. is a good albeit not superb telephoto zoom lens as some might have hoped from its "X" designation. The delivered resolution is decent across the image field and the focal length.

Not a bargain item but seems solidly built and works effortlessly and well. Also super lightweight and compact. Great addition to my Panasonic DMC-GX7.

The lens is fantastic, whether you are an amateur photographer or a seasoned one who needs additional reach, without quality drop. I am currently using this lens on my LUMIX G7 and it performs perfectly. The Power OIS (Stabilization) is very helpful and noticeable.

I was initially disappointed as most pictures were not sharp. Then I found that the firmware needed updating, on the lens and on the camera (Olympus E-M1). The newer firmware seems to correct a problem with image stabilization, and enables the electronic shutter function (so no shutter-induced...

Great lens for the price. I sold it already because I don't use that kind of camera any longer. If you are thinking about buying a cheap telephoto zoom lens, this is a good lens. If you are looking for a great quality lens, you may need to look for something else and be ready to spend more money.

Really bad lens. Does not work well in video applications.

Great lens, works flawlessly on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1. I'm not a camera expert, but the standard 14-42 lens only gives you 3x magnification, which is just too little. I have had the camera for 3 years, looked originally at the 45-200 lens, but that weighs a pound.

My son likes this very much.

Using one of these Japanese imports did not turn out as cheap as it looked, as only when the order had been place did one get the warnings of import duty, although that was only about £10 the post office added another about £10 to handle it, so the overall cost was not much cheaper than I could got...

compact, lightweight, easy to use power zoom (which is very helpful if you travel and want others to use your camera). Seems to take clear zoom pics from my usage so far.
