Panasonic LUMIX H-FS45150EKA G Vario 45-150 mm Interchangeable Telephoto Zoom Lens - Black

Not the sharpest zoom lens you'll find, but probably one of the best options at this price point. I only tend to use this lens if I really need to go telephoto, but I am definitely glad it is in my affordable kit bag. I have a friend who has gotten some stunning wildlife photography shots on this lens, bot of us would not have been able to afford anything very expensive at the time, and have achieved good results!If you already have a prime, and you're looking for the next bit of great affordable kit, this is a good option!

Nice and compact. Ideal focal range from portraits all the way to snapping the odd zebra. Feels well balanced on a small micro four thirds camera. I can recommend if you want a good general purpose lens without spending a fortune.

It is difficult to critique an item that Has delivered good quality pictures, however there are a couple of points on of which concerns me, the other is a minor issue1. When put on the camera body, it feels as though it is not a good fit and has an excessive amount of play and can move, I do wonder if on a few pictures that are not quite as sharp as others if this is the issue or if its me, I dont have this issue with the 100 - 300 mm lens which snaps into place and feels a lot more secure and stable2. Im sure a protective bag wouldnt increase the cost by much

Coming back into photography after selling my pride and joy 30 years ago (a Canon AE1-P with loads of lenses) to make a mortgage payment, (remember the days of 18% mortgage rates?!). I recently bought a LUMIX G7 but found the bundled 14-42 lens limiting, so plumped for this 45-150 to add as my first addition to my lens collection. Ordered yesterday lunchtime and delivered today.This one complements the bundled 14-44 lens perfectly, Photos of the garden are with the bundled lens at 14mm (for reference) and the new 45-150 at both extremes of the zoom. Photo is taken from inside the house behind a very dirty window, so don’t pay too much attention to the detail though! Although I have taken photos of the lens on the camera mounted on a tripod, it IS light enough to use hand-held. Though a basic rule is the higher the zoom the more camera shake is an issue and the more a tripod is needed (or a fast shutter speed!).Haven’t used it an anger yet, but fully expect it to be fab.

Ideal second lens for anyone with a Panasonic LUMIX G range camera.Better build quality than the standard 14-42mm kit lens and produces clear sharp images without the bulk or weight penalties of the 14-140mm or 45-200 mm lenses.

Great lens. Small, light, and well made. Images produced with it are crisp and sharp. Enjoying using it!

The Lumix range of cameras and lenses are great to use, powerful for their size and this lens was a great price with great delivery

Very light lens. Used it on my Lumix GH5 and found the quality a little suspect. The F5.6 maximum aperture was a pain too, since the GH5 is not the best camera in low light and the lens seems best at f8-11. Not possible to get the background out of focus with nice bokeh either. I returned mine because it was not as good as my manual Nikon f2.8 135mm lens from 1978, but for a hobby photographer it could be a good lens to have in the bag, so not all was bad and the Nikon is pretty heavy by comparison.
