The lens with the long name Panasonic Lumix GX Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 ASPH Power OIS belongs to the cohort of telezoom lenses, giving its owner the opportunity to shoot in the range of focal lengths of 90-350mm (35mm equivalent).
video filming
In addition to photography, the lens is focused on video shooting, as indicated by the HD marking on its body, as well as the presence of a mechanical zoom lens. The latter is responsible for a smooth and silent change in focal length. You can also change the viewing angle in the traditional way — using a wide rubberized zoom ring, but doing this when shooting a video is not always convenient.
Reasons for pride
The brainchild of Panasonic can be proud of internal focus(when focus or changing the focal length, all elements move inside the body and the lens does not change its physical dimensions), as well as an effective Power OIS stabilizer. Compared to a couple of its closest relatives (Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45- 150mm f/4.0-5.6 MEGA OIS and Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-200mm f/4.0-5.6 MEGA OIS) the stub works more efficiently, allowing you to shoot long exposures handheld without blurring the image.
Optical properties
In the course of testing the lens sharpness level by experts from the authoritative resource photozone.de, he earned points from "Good" to "Excellent". As expected, the greatest sharpness is achieved at the minimum values of the focal length, followed by a slight drop. But in terms of vignetting, everything is somewhat different — the effect of darkening the edges of the frame is possible at apertures up to 5.6. Undoubtedly, this will beautify a portrait, but it can negatively affect a landscape or street shot.
Ranged class
In tandem with small mirrorless cameras (for example, Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM5 or Olympus PEN E-PL7), the lens will look harmonious, which is facilitated by its relatively small size for optics of this long-range class. And although the floating maximum aperture of f / 4.0-5.6 does not greatly contribute to shooting indoors, the lens feels quite good outdoors. Her prerogative is portraits and shy animals, which you can’t get close to, but you want to capture them in a photo.
