H-PS45175E-K Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens

Superb lens, well manufactured, sharp end-to-end and the power zoom works fine with the panasonic phone app too. Considering this is effectively a 350mm zoom on M43 its so light for a lens covering that focal length, highlighting one of the key benefits of the M43 system. As a wildlife photographer with a passion for going off the beaten track, this is likely to become my goto lens due to its quality and portability.

I bought this Power Zoom lens as an additional ‘environment specific’ long-distance lens for use with my Panasonic GH4 DSLR (and they are a great fit together).I use this lens primarily for video, and the Power Zoom offers smooth zooming functionality and great optics. It is also perfect for both long-range and macro photography. In particular, time-lapse photography.It is also an assuring weight/size, with a premium build quality.The Power Zoom is really the defining feature of the lens, so for this reason I recommend it. Especially to owners of the GH4, to bulk up your optical arsenal.

The plus points are that it is small, lightweight and compact. It also comes with a lens hood and case. The negative points is that it is rather expensive.What I like most about this lens is its power zoom which is very smooth in operation. The zoom range is also good. Overall I am very pleased with it.

Good sharp images across the zoom range. It's surprisingly light and compact, an doesn't feel heavy on the front of a Lumix GF5 body. It has Panasonic-compatible stabilisation and auto-focus. Manual focus is by means of a ring, and it can be zoomed either by the zoom ring or power zoom button.

good quality pictures, easy to use and lightweight weight. the best feature is the internal focusing mechanism which means the lens does not get longer as you focus and there is no lens creep. all the automatic features work, a quality piece of kit

For the magnificantation and price not worth the money !-having problem trying to get the money back offer am on third or 4 try.

Exceptional, recent trip to Europe and this lens shines. Its a better deal than the 150mm and better build quality than the 200mm.Photos are sharp and the power zoom provides smooth zooming perfect for video.Build quality is good for a plastic lens and the focus wheel is very smooth.

As a Nikon user for more than 40 years I’d reached the point I often couldn’t be bothered to carry my kit. The Panasonic GX80 and this lens have changed all that. I don’t care about, and haven’t even tried to compare, the results using this compared to my Nikon and it’s 70-200 f2.8 Lens. What I do care about is usability and this is streets ahead. Really easy to carry especially as a 90-350mm full frame equivalent, nobody queries taking such a small camera and lens into (say) a live show. So does it give better results than my existing equipment, you bet as I wouldn’t have got the shot at all with that and I’m pleased with the quality too.
