Great lens
This is great lens for both video and still photos. It even has a power zoom lens, not too fast, but I haven't used an SLR type camera with power zoom. Image quality is excellent. It's incredibly small and lite too for the power of the zoom. Would love to have a few lower f stops, but for the cost there's no way that can happen.

Don't judge a book by it's cover
Semi Pro- Needed a camera and a lens to walk around. I bought the Olympus P3 but did not like the Olympus lens. So looking around I decided on the Panasonic lens. Very, very.very sharp. small and light weight. Again don't judge a book by it's cover. Panasonic is in with Leica on some of there lens so you know the glass is good.

Okay, But Not Great
It shoots just fine but the images lack some of the sharpness that I like. I use this with a JVC GY LS-300 and it doesn't quite compare to the Rokinons for sharpness. But it is the only zoom currently on the market that works with my camera. Just wish I had more choices. So I learn to live with it when I need a zoom shot.

Rattles a lot
When I opened this lens up I noticed one thing immediately; It rattles. I was pretty disappointed that it sounded like the lens wasn't made sturdy. It might have just been my unit so I sent it back and I am waiting for a replacement. I'm hoping the lens was defective otherwise I wont be using this product.

Quite Sharp
I am an amateur photographer. I am pleased with this lens. Unbelievable that just two lens take me from 32 mm equivalent to full frame to 350 mm, and do it quite well. Color is excellent and pictures are sharper then I expected. The autofocus works quite well. I would definitely recommend this lens.

Good lens - Does the job for the price
We needed something in micro four thirds that had a power zoom an stayed within our budget. This lens fit the bill. f/4.0 works well for inside shots. We are using it with a Panasonic GH3. My only issue has been that I wish there was something with more of a wide angle. 45-175 is tele to more tele.

A Very Good Lense
Got this for my GH4. I already had the 45-200mm but then I read that there was a similar lens with more pro glass, the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom OIS Lens (Black). So, I returned the 45-200 and got the 45-175. So far, I like it.B&H is great on returns btw.

Excellent
This lens is great to use and provides excellent pictures. It comes with a reversible hood which is great. I've only used it for a short time but at full zoom I've taken some great bird shots with a hand held OMD EM-5. Also taken some good portraits at around 45mm.

Exceeded expectations
I evaluated this lens, one I purchased for an upcoming trip to Africa, on a two-week trip to the Colorado Rockies via Black Hills. The photos I took with it, ones I sent out as eCards to friends, not only got raves, but also surpassed my more demanding scrutiny.

nd lens also rattles
I have used this lens since June. It works well but it rattles. I've sent it back for investigation a month ago but the retailer has now replaced it with a new one. This one rattles as well. This one will be going back after Christmas too. Complete pain.

Nice Lens
I use this lens on my Panasonic GX 7 and it works very well. I like the motorized zoom and quick focus. It seems long enough to be very useful, but it is not an all-in-one lens. Too long. But it goes nicely with the kit 14-42.

A pleasure to use
A lovely and light lense with super sharp images produced. Very smooth zoom action. Still getting used to making sure its on the right focal setting ( but I think this is a function of the camera not the lense)

You get what you paid for
Nothing more nothing less. It's a decent lens but not it you are planning to work professionally. Very poor quality in low light situations. If you can..spend a little more to get something better

Awesome lens!
This lens is very underrated. I find it to be very sharp, with excellent contrast. The OIS works great as well. It focuses extremely fast, and is so light and small, I carry it everywhere.

Great lens for my Panasonic G3
I have the 14-42 kit lens, the 14mm f2.5 and now the 45-175. All items bought used from B&H this year. The 45-175 in many respects is my best lens yet. B&H has my respect and gratitude.

Lightweight and easy to use.
compact, lightweight, easy to use power zoom (which is very helpful if you travel and want others to use your camera). Seems to take clear zoom pics from my usage so far.

Great lens
The best Panasonic telephoto lens I have used on a m43 system so far. I use this, the 14-45mm Panasonic zoom, and the 25mm 1.4 prime lens as my three main lenses.

IS seems to have issues.
I wasn't able to get sharp photos from this lens on my GX1 when the IS was employed. Not sure what the issue was, but I get better results from the 45-200.

Works with Blackmagic Studio Camera!
The lens is great! The motorized zoom and focus abilities utilize the features built into the Blackmagic Studio Camera perfectly at a minimal price point!

Works as advertised.
Not a bargain item but seems solidly built and works effortlessly and well. Also super lightweight and compact. Great addition to my Panasonic DMC-GX7.

Good lens for AF 100
Adds power zoom functions to AF-100. Sharp, with little or no distortion at full wide. Lens is actually light for it's size. Smooth power zoom.

Nice Lens
I'm using the lens with my Lumix G10 without any issues. Shooting stills and videos and getting nice results so far. Good value for the money.

This lens renewed my interest
I bought this lens for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5X. I am surprised how easy the lens is to use and the outcome of my first pictures.

Good lens and light weight
I replaced my Lumix 45-200mm lens with this because it is much lighter for travel. It is sharp, focuses well, and has great bokeh.
