It's a must-have for wildlife photography. I have it here with every visit to the zoo. Unbeatable for the price. The angle of view you get with any SLR except maybe with the new super-zoom from Tamron, but that is significantly greater. A 600 from Canon or Nikon is typically unaffordable for ordinary people. The Panasonic makes it a fraction of the price! Together with the 7-14, the 14-140 and a fixed focal length has my complete equipment with minimal weight. Perfect for the holidays. And with a close-up lens, there is also made a prima Macro, which is perfectly adequate for mushrooms, flowers and insects in the size of spiders. The long focal length in insects anyway beneficial because it has no problems with the flight distance. Predicate: Buy!
