About this deal

For settings and controls over the BGH1 via PC during IP streaming, LUMIX Tether for Multicam PC software should also be updated to Ver.1.1 or higher. AF (tested on a Panasonic GX80) appears not only to be very quiet, but also lightning fast (from infinity to one and half meters in 50 ms is matched by no other brand) and very accurate (repeatability below 5%). Individually, those are already really top performances, but that speed, silence and accuracy are combined in one lens is really very exceptional in the price class of under 1000 euros.{insertgrid ID = 289} Panasonic Lumix G 12-60 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH POWER OIS @ 60 mm f/11The shortest focal distance amounts to 20 cm (wide angle) to 25 cm (telephoto), and the image scale is about 0.27, which due to the crop factor corresponds with a magnification of 0.54 full-frame equivalent. Vignetting I had done a research on the 3 lenses I have interest, the PL 12-60, the P 12-60 and the OMDS 12-100. As per OpticalLimits, they are compared as below:

Any chance you've used a 12-35mm f/2.8 II? Don't know if I just got a bad copy, but i've not been impressed with mine. At 40mm and 60mm, the Pana-Leica seems to have a very slight advantage, especially at f/5.6, but it is barely noticeable.

It is almost becoming an expectation that lenses will be weather resistant to some degree, and the Lumix is described as splash and dust proof. With a travel lens, the ability to face all weathers is not to be underestimated. Likewise, image stabilisation is more and more universal. Panasonic offer Dual IS with the GX8 body as supplied for this review, and in any event Power OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) via the lens only. The bokeh of the lens is perhaps slightly fussy, but it is not surprising with just 7 diaphragm blades. It is certainly not unpleasant and the slightly softer telephoto images will lens themselves well to giving pleasing out of focus areas. This could be where the portrait photographers will find some highly effective effects. My question is, especially of those who have used both - In your personal opinion, does the PL 12-60 2.8-4.0 provide a significant enough range of benefits (better light gathering and wider angle, plus build quality) to justify losing the extra 61-140mm range, and to spending some extra money on it?

On the screen of the Panasonic GX80, the message “Dual IS” appears, as an indication that the image stabilization of lens and camera are combined into 5-axis image stabilization. I took 10 pictures with and 10 pictures without image stabilization, and measured the resolution of those with the help of Imatest. The first thing that stands out is that even at a short shutter time of 1/200 sec, we benefitted from the image stabilization. The second thing was that a shot taken with a shutter time of 1/200 sec without image stabilization has the same sharpness as a shot taken at 1/6 sec with image stabilization. That is really very good. If you use this zoom lens on an older Panasonic camera, then the image stabilization will be good for about 2 stops less. Bokeh Both of these lenses are terrific new additions to the world of Micro Four Thirds lens choices. For me, the 12-60mm has become my go-to lens for almost all my travel photography, now coupled with the new Leica 8-18. The super wide 8-18mm allows for a considerably wider views of interiors I often shoot in Europe. But overall, during our last trips that included Croatia, Slovenia, and France, almost 95% of all my pictures were taken with the Leica 12-60mm F/2.8-4. Whether you decide to buy the Leica or the Olympus, it will most likely depend on how light you want to go since the Leica is a bit lighter than the Olympus. I’ve carried both and I will admit that I feel the Olympus more when it’s on a camera hanging from my shoulder. You could make the argument that having that additional reach of the Olympus’ 100mm (200mm equivalent) that you have a perfect combination when pairing it with the Leica 100-400mm. But I’ve found I don’t miss the additional 80mm, and giving that up for the lighter weight and bulk seems a worthwhile trade off.From Panasonic lens literature) Panasonic is introducing a new zoom interchangeable lens, the LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. (35 mm camera equivalent: 24-120 mm) for the LUMIX G line of Micro Four Thirds System cameras. Featuring a splash/dust-proof design, the new lens offers a versatile 5x zoom range of 24-120mm (35mm camera equivalent) that covers a variety of daily shooting situations from dynamic landscapes to portraits. Between the two, it is easier to make precise manual adjustments during movie recording with the Pana-Leica thanks to the smooth yet sturdy metal focus ring.

I really liked the article about the Leica 12-60 mm zoom lens, f: 2.8-4.0 vs Olympus Zuiko 12-100, f: 4.0. Congratulations, I believe you took the doubt out of a lot of people! Through the firmware updates, Panasonic proposes future-ready solutions for more flexible filmmaking workflow using mirrorless cameras. There might be some sample variation and LensTip might not have got one of the best samples, but this sounds different.Perhaps, would it be better to use the Zuiko 12-100 mm lens with another Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III camera? I also think about buying a second micro 4/3 body, a little bigger and with a better handgrip than the DC-GX9 Lumix. There are no buttons on the lens. You switch between AF and manual focusing or turn the image stabilization on/off on the camera. This zoom lens does not have a fixed length like the 12-35 mm f/2.8. When you zoom in, the zoom lens becomes 3 cm longer. A flower-shaped lens hood is included. features a solid metal barrel with smooth and accurate focus and zoom rings and two physical switches Power Save Mode] can be selectable while the camera is powered with an AC adaptor(DMW-AC10, sold separately).

At the 12mm end of the zoom range the lens has a diagonal angle of view of 84°, equivalent to that of a 24mm lens in a 35mm system. On the other hand, I also thought of taking other zooms, with smaller and larger ranges, such as the Leica 8-18 mm and the Zuiko 40-150 mm zooms, making a set with the Leica 12-60 mm, thus completing a greater coverage of landscapes and portraits. Bokeh is a word used for the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, and is usually described in qualitative terms, such as smooth / creamy / harsh etc. In the LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. lens, Panasonic have employed an iris diaphragm with seven rounded blades, which has resulted in quite nice bokeh in our view. We do realise, however, that bokeh evaluation is subjective; so we've included several 100% crops for your perusal. Well , well every single post in this thread comforts me in the idea that having a zoom for standard focal lengths is not often a reasonable compromise. It is probably true for other systems as well, but considering the size and weight of many m4/3 single focal lengths , The LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. doesn't come with either a lens pouch, but there is a hood included in the box. You can fit 58mm filters to this lens and the filter thread doesn't rotate when focusing.We prefer to test lenses with a sensor with the highest possible resolution. It might seem strange that we have used the Panasonic GX80 with a 16-megapixel sensor for this test, because there are also micro-43 cameras with 20 megapixels. But numbers of pixels on the sensor is not always the same as resolution. The Panasonic GX80 has no anti-aliasing filter, which results in higher sharpness in comparison with sensors to which an anti-aliasing filter is applied.
