Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this work with the H-FS014042 lens? If not, is there an adaptor ring that can be used?CHUN-CHIEH H : this DMW-GWC1 only works on H-PS14042 and H-H014WILLIAM I : I own the Panasonic DMW-GWC-1 WA conversion lens. No, it will NOT mount on the H-FSO14042, which accepts 52mm filters. The GWC1 conversion kit includes two plastic adapter rings. One ring will enable you to couple the GWC1 with the Panny 14mm f/2.5 wideangle lens. The other ring couples the GWC1 with the Panny power zoom 14-42mm, which is a different zoom lens from the H-FSO14042.STEVE E : It comes with two adaptors, one for the 14mm lens and one for the 14-42 zoom.MRS VICTORIA A : I think it will. but not sure in 100%. it comes with 2 rings. 1 i for the 14mm which i use, and the other is for the 14-42. best regards AmosSEAN J : No, it will not. 1/ the filter thread on H-FS014042 is 52mm (I think) and the 2 adapters that come with it are 46mm for 14mm/2.5 and one other size 37mm for H-PS14042. 2/ you can't use step-down ring, since the back side opening (diameter) of the GWC1 covers about 60% of the front lens of the H-FS014042. Equals SEVERE vignette rendering GWC1 useless. seanROBERT C : Adorama thought I bought this. I considered it but didn't buy and actually sold the lenses and upgraded to a new camera system. So I don't know.
ROGER V : will this work with G3?WILLIAM I : I bought the Panasonic DMW-GWC1 Wide Conversion Lens with Adaptor Ring for H-PS14042 and H-H014 in July and have used it frequently since then. The conversion lens mates ONLY with the Panasonic Lumix 14mm f/2.5 lens or the Panasonic Lumix 14 to 42mm-X Power Zoom via the two adapter rings, which are supplied as part of the kit. Both options will work perfectly on your G3. The GWC1 converts the 14mm f/2.5 into a 22mm f/2.5 lens (effective focal length in 35mm terms). Be sure you do not misplace either of the adapter rings, as they are the only way to mount the GWC1 to the lenses. My opinion is that, in combination with the 14mm f/2.5 pancake lens, this accessory represents a relatively inexpensive way to obtain the wide angle capability and lens speed approaching that of the much more expensive Olympus 12mm f/2.0 lens ($799), the closest equivalent MFT optic. Image quality is quite decent and the entire rig is still very compact, but you shouldn't expect this combo to equal the brilliant performance of the costly Olympus 12mm.RALPH S N : Yes, provided the Panasonic H014 or PS14042 lens for which it is made is mounted on the G3. The adapter simply screws into the front of the lens similar to a filter. I use it with the H014 and the picture quality of the combination is excellent. Discussion groups widely report the same results on a variety of Panasonic micro 43 cameras.ROBERT Y : Yes, if you use a lens with a 46 mm screw thread. I have a Panasonic 14m wide angle lens which has a 46mm screw thread and it works fine making it about 11mm focal length .STEVE E : It will if you have the 14mm 2.5 or the 14-42 zoom.SEAN J : Doesn't matter which MFT (m4/3) camera you have - all Gs, GFs, GHs, GXs. It depends on the lens. It fits the 14mm/2.5 pancake lens (H014) and the 14-42mm zoom lens(H14042). seanMICHAEL C : Roger, I have a Panasonic DMC-GF1 and the Wide Conversion Lens works very well. As the lenses are interchangable between the GF1 and GF3, I am sure it will work equally well with your camera. Mike Cameron
Robert L : Will this fit the lumix vario G X 14-42?GARY B : Robert, I use it on that lens, so yes it will fit. It works great, I think you'll be happy with it. Gary
