Panasonic 14-50mm f/2.8-3.5 Vario-Elmarit Aspherical MEGA O.I.S. Lens for Four Thirds System Review

It's Pricey, but It's a LEICA

★★★★☆

4.0

"This is the kit lens with the LUMIX DMC-L1 and the reason why I bought the L1. I like fast glass and I am used to using an aperture ring on my AE-1. The quality of this lens is exquisite! Its output (on the L1) is very LEICA in character. The only down-sides to this lens are its weight and pract …" Read Full Review »

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I want to love this lens. While it was working, I almost did. It's very sharp at nearly all apertures and fairly fast. I never loved the O.I.S. feature (I never really saw any improvement or reduction in camera shake), but I'm something of an old school photographer. I loved the aperture ring fo …" Read Full Review »

"I never would have bought this lens, but as it came with my Panasonic L1 kit, I have used it and will not look for a replacement for images in the 28-100mm zoom equivalent category. I think this lens suits the L1 but may seem overbearing on the smaller lighter Olympus dSLR bodies. Only a faster le …" Read Full Review »

"Although the lens is plastic composited, it still has a solid feel. Heavier than similar zooms in this range, but what do you expect from a lens with this much quality glass? Extremely bright TTL at F2.8., which helps correct the inherent problem of 4/3 viewfinders being a bit dark. Aperture ring ta …" Read Full Review »

"Very sharp, which is what you want from any lens. The Leica cache is well founded for this lens. While it is constructed of modern plastics it is very rugged and has that smooth Leica feel.

The Bokeh is smooth and quite lovely. The downside with the 4/3 system is the greater depth of field. Whi …" Read Full Review »
