I ordered this lens to use with my BMDPCC it has image stabilization but it's controlled by the camera which the Black Magic Design Pocket Cinema Camera cannot do. Using the BMDPCC hand held with this lens with the BMDPCC's 3X crop factor it was hard to get a steady shot when using the zoom with out...

Lightweight; Strong Construction

Slow Focus

I've had this lens for only two weeks now but have managed to use it everyday in a variety of situations from nature, landscapes, an outdoor nighttime concert, close ups and people at a party. It has surpassed my expectations for the price.

It is easy, compact, fast and sharp a lens. But I will change it on Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm - which does more art drawing, than Lumix. It is my personal preference. Yours Lumix is a good lens.

Gary Wolstenholme reviews the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-150mm f/4.0-5.6 lens for Micro Four Thirds system cameras.

Reasonably priced; Lightweight; Excellent sharpness in the centre between 45mm and 75mm; Deep circular hood included; Extremely low distortion; Effective optical stabiliser; Low CA

Although sharpness is good at 150mm; it could be better

"Had it for over a year now and am quite pleased. Admittedly, it has neither power zoom nor an external IS switch, and is a bit 'shorter' than a couple of the other available mid-zooms. However, it is compact, sharp and economical to acquire.

Excellent quality
