Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The 14-42mm zoom lens is a joy to use. The zoom button on the barrel takes a little getting used to, but that's a fair compromise for a lens this small. The lens construction is solid, so it is heavier than the other lenses.

This combo works right out of the box. The automation is wonderful. Works well. Great pancake lens.

The lens balances perfectly on the x5s. I use this on my dji inspire 2 drone.



Cons

It is far poorer than the dmc-fz47 that this system is replacing. The silver color though looks * on my black body lumix, it is blocked, no zoom, no focus.

    The manual focus is a bit weird since you focus by pressing updown rather than having a focus ring

    I was concerned because amazons compatibility app provided no information on whether this combo works

    The camera has a crop sensor so the nominal 1442mm equates to 2884mm zoom on a full frame camera

    Not sure if this model comes with a sunhood
