Quality


Great lens an essential must have for any micro four thirds panasonic shooter.


I was amazed by the image and build quality.


It is a shame this isn't the kit lens that normally comes with a mft.


But i do love the quality of construction of this lens.

Price


Exactly what you would expect from an item that costs so much .


I can say that the images i get with this lens shooting raw on my panasonic gx85 give my bigger cameras a run for their money!


I was never quite happy with the images i was getting and couldn't justify spending so much money on a panasonic lens.


But if you need a general purpose zoom this is a fair budget choice.

Shipping


Very satisfied with the product and the shipping from the usa to viet nam.

Competitiveness


Even compared to my lenses in other systems (i own canon and nikon full frame dslrs), this lens is truly amazing!


Compared to my lenses i use with my canon and nikon outfits, it is much lighter than my nikon 16-35mm f4.


This panasonic lens is comparable (in aps-c format cameras) to my canon ef-s 17-55mm f2.
