Yes
Afternoon all,
Would like some feedback on the above lens,would be on a Panasonic GX1 body?
Pros?
Cons?

Also,what do you think would be a realistic secondhand value for one in excellent condition complete with box,hood and pouch?

Thanks
 
Cant answer on your camera but i have a loan unit and think i may keep it.

I cant tell you,the shop owner is away and one of his staff let me take it,its priced at £199 but i would want it cheaper.
 
Consider the 45-200mm mega OIS too, I got one of these from the forum for £110 and am very pleased with it.
It also goes with my GX1 well, but sits on my G3 most of the time.
The 45-175mm tends to fetch a little more than the 45-200mm, but not much difference.
Also the 45-150mm is well thought of and is cheaper still.

I did consider the 45-200mm,but reviews look like they favour the 45-175mm?

Yes, it does have better reviews, but not on the GX1. Reports of it suffering from shutter shock effects in the 1/100-1/200 shutter speed range. This lens really works better with cameras with an electronic shutter, or at faster than 1/320 shutter speeds if you use mechanical shutter like that in the GX1.
I haven't tried it on either of my Pannies, but never had that with the 45-200mm.

Thanks for the feedback!
Can you provide me any images you've taken with the 45-200mm?
 
Yep, no problem, they are all HERE well most of them!
