Did a video and the wind noise!
Anyone tried one of these:

Are they any good?
Thanks
Can't compete with the great stuff here, but here's one I grabbed on the old GM1 at the weekend:

Unfortunately I have the GH3 Panasonic that doesn't have a mic in. I made the mistake of seeing with the GH3 did have a mic in and presumed the GH3 would be the same and clearly doesn't so unfortunately the only type of wind mic muff that I can have is the stick on type. I think I'll buy it and give it a go and see how it goes
I thought the GH3 did have a mic input?
Anyone here used the PL 12-60 f2.8 ? Just trying to decide if its worth the extra money over the kit 12-60....
I know it costs a lot more but it would be on my G80 90% of the time...
Not used it, but I'm eyeing both that and the 12-40 2.8 Oly, I think the Olympus would be a little better, I have a 60mm 2.8, and I don't think I'd miss out on anything between 40 - 60mm, rather have the constant aperture

I had the 12-60 f3.5-5.6 with the GX8 and was very impressed with it - as I was new to the M4/3 system I assumed that the f2.8/4 would show a reasonable improvement, so bought one - it was a little sharper and obviously faster, but for my purposes not really worth the extra money. As a result I sold that and bought the Oly 12-40 f2.8 Pro - now that is an improvement, but I’m missing that extra reach!
I’m now going to sell the 12-40mm and get the 12-100mm Pro. (Terrible GAS!)
So you didn’t miss the Dual IS with the Oly ?
Quite honestly - No.
I had a 12-40 a few years back - very nice lens but it did feel big and heavy on a m43 body - no dual IS either ?

I have it, and it is a fabulous lens. I've never used the kit lens so can't comment on its performance relative to that. I did have the Oly 12-40 f2.8, but sold that for the PL12-60 to take full advantage of DFD and dual IS on my G9. Performance wise, there isn't really anything between the Oly and PL in my experience.

Up to what focal length does it remain 2.8?
I've no idea, but not much after 12mm from memory.
Just found this on another site:
Pity it didn't remain 2.8 up till 15mm or so, but at least it doesn't hit F4 right after. Just pondering, I do shoot a bit indoors, and prefer ambient light to flash mostly12-60 f2.8-4 aperture vs. focal length.
2.8 - 12mm up to...
2.9 - 13mm
3.0 - 15mm
3.1 - 16mm
3.2 - 18mm
3.3 - 20mm
3.4 - 23mm (tested twice)
3.5 - 24mm (tested twice)
3.6 - 27mm
3.7 - 29mm
3.8 - 32mm
3.9 - 36mm
4.0 - 52mm
Hum will look out for it in the classifieds !
Indoor without flash I'd be reaching for something faster than f2.8
Now in the classifieds.
here we go planes day today

@the black fox - fantastic aircraft shots. Love the 2 old prop planes (Spitfires or Hurricanes never can tell the difference?)
