About this deal

Turning to the features on the barrel, we find two handy switches on the Pana-Leica: one to switch between AF/MF and the other for Power O.I.S. On/Off. The Lumix, being the cheaper lens, is completely devoid of switches on the barrel. Atomos Ninja V Ver.10.66 will be required to support the RAW video data output function of the LUMIX GH5S. It is possible to format the SD Memory Card from the camera menu on the live view display of LUMIX Tether while the camera is connected with the PC. features a solid metal barrel with smooth and accurate focus and zoom rings and two physical switches

Thank you for an overall excellent review of these 2 lenses. I agree that these are two very fine lenses, and I struggled to decide (after our last trip to Japan in 2016) which of these would be overall best for me on our next trip in the Spring, as part of my weight and lens reduction plan. still keeps the distortion well under control, measuring +0.0518% pincushion. CA is virtually non-existent, again as before. Below you can watch our video review of the Panasonic Leica 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0. It contains all the most important information about the lens, including the design, build quality, optical quality, autofocus performance, optical stabilisation, and some extra considerations. No, the 12-100 would work great with your Lumix G9. The lens is a bit heavy but you should be fine with this setup. Panasonic Lumix G 12-60 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH POWER OIS @ 60 mm f/11 Conclusion Review Panasonic Lumix G 12-60 mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH POWER OIS ProsImage stabilisation is competent, without necessarily being the best I’ve ever seen. When paired with the GX8, the lens tended to deliver images at marginal shutter speeds that were acceptably sharp for most purposes, without being pixel perfect. With care, I found that I was able to get usable images using shutter speeds of 1/15sec towards the long end of the zoom, equivalent to around three stops of stabilisation. Resolution, shading and curvilinear distortion Resolution All things considered, I was quite surprised at how well the Lumix lens performed against the high-end Pana-Leica. Its only weak points appears to be sharpness at a close focusing distance at its widest angle and corner sharpness at 25mm, 40mm and 60mm. Otherwise, you would have a difficult time distinguishing the two without the aid of metadata. Bokeh G85, 1/800, f/2.8, ISO 200 – PanaLeica 12-60mm GX85, 1/640, f/5.6, ISO 200

So as far as weight and size, the Olympus 12-100 is most definitely larger and somewhat heavier, but when comparing all the possibilities, it’s not as big of an issue as I thought it might be. That said, if you’re happy with 120mm at the long end and you want to go as light as possible, the Lumix G85 and the Leica 12-60mm is the way to go. During my recent two months in Europe, I found the 12-60mm to be exactly what I needed most of the time. I will admit, in a perfect world, we all want a bit more range. I’ve never met a photographer yet that didn’t want something more than what he/she was shooting. In the end, you have to make the call on the tradeoff between weight and reach. Maximum Aperture of F/2.8 Can Be An Advantage Daniel, with your extensive field experience, do you think I am better served to take the Olympus OM-D E-M1X or OM-D E-M1 Mark III on the trip as a second body? I find I like mine very much and that it is my most-used lens for M4/3. But I use full frame for my most critical photography...and I didn't take long to learn how to work around this lens's weaknesses. If your lens performs like mine, you will probably end up learning to avoid using the long end for scenic photography...which is unfortunate given that Panasonic also makes a tiny and very cheap 12-32, a good sample of which gives comparable results to one of these.At 40mm and 60mm, the Pana-Leica seems to have a very slight advantage, especially at f/5.6, but it is barely noticeable. Perhaps, would it be better to use the Zuiko 12-100 mm lens with another Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III camera? I also think about buying a second micro 4/3 body, a little bigger and with a better handgrip than the DC-GX9 Lumix. The lens is very compact and balances well on the Lumix GX8. It is substantially manufactured in high-quality plastics, which also assists in keeping the weight down. This is definitely a lens that is a pleasure to use.
