Review of 14-42mm PZ
Not very positive review about this good lens.
Quite positive 45-175mm review:

Btw, it is really good lens, solid and good.
fine lens, good quality build best working with my Isco Nano coated (rebuild) for anamorphic shooting GH3 Anamorphic Test Double focusring handling aperture F10 standard settings, manuel Auto iso
The auto lens cap is available.
The auto lens cap direct buy from the maker.
I finally pulled the trigger on the 14-42x. I think this is gonna be a fun little lens for my gh2.
Anyone have any recent video's shot with this thing?
I noticed that the 14-42 x black is discontinued . Wondering if a new replacement is coming ?
@kurth I suppose something new is coming very shortly based on the price I paid for mine.
love the 45-175mm - brilliant quality and in the 40% frame rate modus very steady handheld even @ 175mm Mega OIS is fine here - where power OIS is dramatically dissapointing on the new 12-35mm This 45-175mm is my favorite panny lens

45-175mm + Manfrotto mvr901ecpl panasonic lanc zoom on GH4 4k re-sized to 2k for youtube. Unlike the GH3 the GH4 lets you use some panasonic lanc devices, I've only tested with the zoom controller which works nicely with the 45-175 power zoom can't verify focus or aperture controls work. My 45-175 appears to be parfocal as well.
Shot this yesterday, first time using the zoom controller IOS off so haven't quite got the bite points sorted yet so a couple of bit's not as smooth as I would like but it's really nice to use and just me getting used to it not the tech. Now if only we could have a power zoom f2.8 constant aperture in this zoom range for indoor I would be very happy :-)
Is it possible to fit some teleconverter on 45-175mm lens? Will I be able to zoom with the lever or will this thing interfere with the smoothness of zooming?
Just an FYI about the 45-175mm Lens. I requested updated Dual-IS info about it from Panasonic.
received an email from Panny US, in which they stated...
"The firmware update for the lens is still under development.
It should be available in the first half of 2017.
Stay tuned as there will be an announcement as the date gets closer."
So, there is still hope. Don't despair. :-)
I do hope they follow through with that! The 45-175 is my most used lens and I'd love full IS2 on my G85 with it.
