Focusing Performance
Customers are highly impressed with the focusing performance of this camera lens, praising its ability to create stunning videos and take sharp photos, especially for people subjects. Some users have noted that the manual focusing ring could be more responsive at times, but overall, they consider it an essential must-have for Micro Four Thirds Panasonic shooters. The lens is also appreciated for being lighter than some comparable lenses from other systems while offering superior performance.
Image Quality
Customers are highly satisfied with the image quality of the lens, praising its sharpness and construction. Some have noted its excellent performance in low light conditions and video mode, making it a worthy investment for hobbyist photographers.
Highlights
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.
