The Dual IS firmware update (12/2017) has made this lens even better for stabilized images... The power zoom is very convenient, smooth and quick for moving shots. The images are consistently clear and crisp. Pairs very nicely with my GX1 and G85.

I've used this lens BEFORE the 1.3 update for lens stabilization and shot some great photos in RMNP. Tiz a weekend now and cannot get to the download. Will try again soon. I am impressed with this lens and it's price.

Please update the last firmware (2013) to add support for Dual IS stabilization ! You previously annouced a release in Feb 2016, but still nothing... I don't recommend this product until Panasonic releases the update.

It is 2 years that we are waiting for this firmware Recommendation: **Don't buy unless panasonic releases the firmware**

I find I use this lens a lot more on my Oly EPL-5 than I thought I would. It puts out really sharp pictures, though things soften up a bit above 150mm (as expected). This lens also takes great "macro-style" close-up pics, assuming you can hold the camera steady. The internal zoom is a BIG plus for me, as this thing takes up MUCH less room than those APS-C zooms. It's plastic, so it feels plastic-y and light, but then again most lens bodies are plastic these days, especially for this price point. Remember, this is not a pro-level lens so the f-stop isn't fantastic and it's not weather-proof, but I've still taken some great images with it. Great lens, great price. You won't be disappointed (unless you're looking to count whiskers on wild animals; you'll need a longer lens for that).

Main Points of Attraction: 1. Power Zoom (Camera Body [G6] automatically assigns the power zoom function to the front button when the lens is attached. Power zoom operation is very smooth and quiet. 2. Size: "About like a Coke Can" to quote another review. Perfect size for G6 or GX7. 46mm Filter. 3. Internal Functions: All lens movement to zoom or focus is internal to the lens. No extended barrel. 4. Price. Adorama sold the lens new at a used price. Watch for specials!

This lens has so little mass, you will hardly remember that you have it in place ... but it will be ready for your next great shot. Fast zooming and focusing. Don't worry if there is a clunking sound as you move the lens about ( and there is NO need to shake it!) because this goes away when the lens is powered and ready. Lots of notes about this online, although -- and contrary to other reviews -- I found no mention of this in the included instructions. Also: do not forget to go to Panasonic's firmware update page. The lens was up to date as shipped, but my GH3 needed a download.

I bought this to go with my new Panasonic GH4 camera. I like the 45-175 because it is sharp and does not extend when zooming. Everything is internal.

Are you seeking superior image quality and high-performance zoom in a compact design Look no further than the Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm/F4.0-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. lens. This innovative interchangeable lens, part of the premium "X" series for the LUMIX G Micro System, is compliant with the Micro Four Thirds System standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cameras.
This lens is a testament to Panasonic's advanced optical technologies, delivering lifelike textures, sharp edge-to-edge contrast, and minimal ghosting and flaring thanks to its unique Nano Surface Coating. Experience natural atmospheres with remarkable transparency, making your photos come alive.
The LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm lens is the industry's first to adopt the Multi-Actuator Floating Inner Focus System. This system controls three lens groups separately, resulting in a compact and lightweight design without compromising on resolution and contrast across the entire 45-175mm zoom range (35mm camera equivalent: 90-350mm).
Despite its long zoom range, this lens boasts an impressively compact design, measuring approximately 90.0 mm in length and weighing around 210g. This is achieved through the inclusion of two aspherical lenses, ensuring ultra-high mobility without sacrificing image quality.
The lens offers a versatile zoom range, making it suitable for a variety of shooting scenarios, from portraits to wildlife and sports photography. It features two ED lenses that suppress chromatic aberration, ensuring high descriptive performance at all zoom levels.
The lens also incorporates Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology, which minimizes reflection across the entire visual light range (380nm-780nm). This results in super clear images with a dramatic reduction of ghost and flare.
The integrated POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) makes it easy to capture super clear shots even in low-light situations. The improved sensitivity of the gyro sensor suppresses large, slow movements effectively, while smaller, fast movements are compensated by the conventional MEGA O.I.S.
When mounted on LUMIX G Micro System cameras, users can take advantage of the contrast AF system and enjoy rapid focusing support. The lens's inner focus system, driven by a stepping motor, supports the Light Speed AF of approximately 0.15 seconds. The lens also features a circular aperture diaphragm with seven aperture blades, producing an attractive smoothness in out-of-focus areas even when shooting at large apertures.
Available in both black and silver, the LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm/F4.0-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. lens offers a fashionable, sophisticated look that perfectly complements any LUMIX G Micro System camera. Elevate your photographic journey with this high-performance lens.
