Panasonic Lumix G 4-5.6 / 45-175 mm Power OIS to Panasonic GH2

It supplements the Panasonic range for Micro FourThirds, and of course, a stabilizer is on board. Instead of the classic mechanical zoom ring, however, the 45-175 offers a zoom rocker as well as a zoom ring, which also adjusts the focal range via a motor. For video this may be an advantage, in the photo area it is not, because the rotation on the mechanical ring more precisely and faster the image cut out. Positive: neither distortion nor vignetting play a role. However, fade-out changes only slightly at the screen, in the case of the longer focal lengths, even the diffraction will depress the result. In addition, the edge area is much weaker than the center. All focal lengths are quite similar here. Conclusion A telezoom light of Panasonic, not bad, but for a recommendations fall the corners too strongly from – price 400 euros. Www.panasonic.de
