Anyone with a Lumix G3?

Wayn0r · 28 Sep 2012 at 15:08

I have a Lumix G3 currently with the standard lens. I want to get another, slightly longer lens.

Its a question regarding compatibility of other lenses, Is there an easy way to check other than the Lens specifying it?

For example, will a Sigma lens for canon fit (probably stupid question).

You ideally need a Micro 4/3 lens otherwise you loose things like autofocus. Depending on how long you want to go I'd recommend the 45-175 X Lens. Its a power zoom lens, has stabilisation and gives very good results whilst also being very small and light. The other simliar lenses are either the older 45-200mm again has stabilisation but is bigger and heavier or the new 45-150mm which is simliar to the 45-200mm.

I assume they just list all the lenses for the camera and not in any particular order?

I think so.

The recommendations above are the same as I would suggest. I have a 14-45, 45-200 and a 20mm pancake. I would say that on balance of price and performance the 45-200 is worth it if your after longer reach.
