My camera is the GX1 with X 14-42 kit zoom. But I was looking for a suitable supplement and have then decided after some back and forth for this lens. And I have never regretted. Ultra quiet zoom and auto focus - very important for video. In addition, the autofocus is really fast. The stabilizer works fine with me - especially at long focal lengths you win 1-2 exposure levels. What I also still like the weight - which was amazing for such a focal length with stabilization. Together with the GX1 has a balanced system in hand. The sharpness is very good for a push - when direction is 175 mm, they can be on the edge, however slightly. What any buyer should consider: at 175mm is final. That's enough good for normal use. However, anyone who wants to enter the Tierforografie, should choose a lens with a longer focal length.
