Showcase Panasonic 45-150mm f/4-5.6

[BAXTING]

Here is one of the first shots I tried with the 45-150 handheld @ 150 with a slight crop.

Cant wait to get some free time and see what it can do.

Great!!!

Another shot directly from my backyard. This being my only zoom lens, I feel odd whenever I'm using it.

I'm hoping I can convince someone else to buy this lens if I keep posting images here.

Would like to see more samples from this lens. Thanks.

Took this lens on a trip to Lisbon, first time I got to extensively use it: it's a great lens as long as there's light, the moment it gets dimmer you immediately need to start bumping up to ISO 1600 to get acceptable shutter speeds.

Still had a lot of fun with it, especially as it's so tiny and lightweight (compared to the 45-200, let alone APS-C telezooms).

Nice to see these. I have a used G5 that is coming with two lenses and that will be one of them. I already have the Olympus 40-150mm so I'll be interested to see how this compares.

Great shots here showing what it does close up and far away. I'll post some when I finally get the camera and have a chance to use the 45-150mm HD.

I'm a prime lens guy.. And this is the only zoom that interests me, as it is small and light. Should be great for travel. I'll be getting one soon.

Well, there's not a lot of photos here yet taken with the Panasonic Lumix G 45-150mm f/4-5.6 HD Mega OIS lens. So here are some with it on a DMC-G5 (lets just say G5) and used primarily as a pseudo-macro lens at 150mm.

Thanks! I don't know if I'd go as far as the second part of your statement, but it IS kind of you to say so!!! :smile:

I'm hoping I can convince someone else to buy this lens if I keep posting images here.

Mine is on order. Will throw some up as soon as it arrives.

Nice, contrasty work Baxting.

 

[BAXTING]

Used this lens a bit this past weekend. I'll check if anything is post worthy

Not sure yet, but this lens may be somewhat of a sleeper. Seems better than what I remember the 45-200 being, but maybe it's just me. EM5, wide open at 150mm -

Excellent images John. I am amazed that the 45 - 140 can make such fine macros!

I am surprised -- and pleased -- as well, thanks!

I agree. There's almost no talk about it, but it's pretty darn good.
