I don't know what to say that hasn't been said by much better photographers than me, and that's why I bought it. I knew the specs were what I wanted, I saw examples and really liked what I saw. I bought this because it is supposed to be optically excellent, and it truly is. I bought it for the practical use of a wide angle lens with the ability zoom and a relatively fast constant aperture, it delivers this too. I also love that it's weather-sealed, this means using it with my weather-sealed GH4 is perfect, not having to worry about a bit of dust or rain. But I haven't yet tested those conditions. Only negatives are the price, but It's actually not much compared to motherliness of this quality. It's still a lot. Then there's the lens hood which is a bit odd to click on - feels like it doesn't entirely fit, especially when you reverse it for transport. Oh, and the rubber grips on the focus/zoom rings are lint-magnets.Read full review
Expectations were high and they are fulfilled. Image is sharp, focusing and stabilization works fast. Zooming goes smoothly, good also in the video shot.

This lens combined with my Panasonic GF1 meets all my needs and has enabled me to rid myself of my expensive and cumbersome Nikon system. So if you are tired of carrying around a bag full of heavy lenses and just want to take 'pin-sharp' photos at a minute's notice...get this combination!

Used with a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera and an SLR Magic Anamorphot - the power stabiliser works on the BMPCC as does focus (although slow) and Iris control - and it manages to focus through the adaptor perfectly well. Very crisp image, largely plastic but pretty well made - may try it out on a gimbal. This doesn't have a manual aperture ring, and the focus ring is an infinity type so no external focus markings. Works brilliantly on the Lumix GM1 which gives that older camera a little more life.
