next PZ lens test report: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. - Sibbi - 06-14-2011 Hi, the next mFT review [url="http://www.opticallimits.com/olympus--four-thirds-lens-tests/615-pana1442"]Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. [/url] ...a good kit lens when looking at the auto-corrected results. Bye Sebastian next PZ lens test report: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. - Sylvain - 06-14-2011 Thanks Sebastian. Always reading mFT reviews with delight. Just a remark. Considering this is a replacement of the previous, admittedly superior 14-45, it would have been nice to include a few comparison notes for key aspects other than center resolution ? Of course, I can still read the other one but made sense to me... On a personal note, I'd add that although build quality may seem fine at the beginning, all panasonic mft lenses losen quite a bit and are quite sensible to temperature of operation -temperature considerably alters their handling characteristics. For all three I've got (20mm,14-45,45-200). Greetings, S. next PZ lens test report: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. - Tiz - 06-15-2011 Thanks for testing mFT lenses! I am glad that I recently bought the 14-45 OIS which seems to be much sharper (at least in the center). I am not so glad that I managed to slightly scratch the front lens element during my latest trekking tour... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> next PZ lens test report: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH.

Two lenses are on the immediate radar. next PZ lens test report: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH.

[/quote] Not quite. There needs to be a significant step in resolution to change the test camera. That's not the case yet regarding m43. A switch might happen with the GH-3. Also remember that we need to start a section from scratch with a new test camera. You might imagine that we don't feel the urge to do so only to use the latest camera. -- Markus next PZ lens test report: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH.

[/quote] The base cameras have endure a life span of 3-4 years regardless of the section. In MFT land we aren't quite there yet. 12mp are still mainstream here anyway so I don't see any need to move on at this stage. We are even using a A700 in the Sony section so this one is clearly the next on the list - not the GF1. We could even use the GF3 now which is still based on the same sensor design as the GF1. next PZ lens test report: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH.

I took it to Sardinia - frankly ... not an overly impressive lens specifically beyond ~75mm. next PZ lens test report: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 mm F 3,5-5,6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. - Yakim - 06-21-2011 Sounds like a typical hyperzoom. Thanks for the info. BTW, may I ask how was Sardinia? I never thought about it as a tourist attraction. |
