Review on PANASONIC 14 45MM F3 5 5 6 MIRRORLESS H FS014045 by Pamela Jefferies

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal general purpose zoom for the M43

I have several M43 primes, each a little sharper, faster and with higher contrast than this zoom and when I'm looking for the best possible results I use one of them. In fact, the differences are almost imperceptible at 8x10 magnification and are not noticeable at all in online images. If I'm just wandering around with a camera and lens I usually go with this one as it's very sharp with some softness around the edges and has a focal range of 14-45mm (equivalent to 28-90mm in a 35mm lens) . ). perfect for 90% of the photos I take. It's wide enough for indoors and landscapes, and a great portrait lens at the longest zoom. It's a little more expensive than Panasonic's 14-44mm zoom, but the increased sharpness and faster focusing are worth it. I was lucky enough to find a used unit in excellent condition at Revain for only $135.
