I bought the 45-175 a week ago. Obviously it doesn’t go as wide as the 14-140 but it is absolutely amazing. I’ve been comparing it against my 70-300 on my S5ii and so far it meets it in every way and blows it out of the water on size and weight. MFT is still 🔥especially on the G9ii!
This lens is the MFT equivalent of a 14-100 f/2-3.5. I have an old GH3 with a couple of original gen 12-35 and 35-100 f/2.8 Lumix lenses I bought to go with my long sold off AF100. As I'm starting to look at replacing the GH3 and needing newer lenses to take advantage of the newer IBIS and autofocus features, this lens is making me consider moving to FF instead of a new GH7 as not only would it replace all of my workhorse lenses, but save me around $1,000 over a GH7 + new 12-35 and new 35-100.
Of the few testing videos that are out for now, in your video the focus looks really bad when zoomed out. Maybe it's a technical issue on your side? It kinda doesn't look out of focus, it does more look like it's distorted.
Balancing at the middle focal length isn't going to give you "perfect balance whether you zoom in or out". The COG of your rig is still going to change when you zoom. Newer, larger electronic gimbals have pretty powerful motors that might be able to overcome the change in COG, but on a mechanical gimbal or smaller/weaker electronic gimbal it is not going to stay balanced.
on the base models for gimbals, they work really well actually! But yeah if you are using a cheap bad gimbal it won't be as effective but you are using a cheap gimbal with a $2000 camera and a $900 lens. So if you are using a $100 gimbal well 🤷🏼♂
something is wrong with your copy at 200mm. Check out other reviews comparing sharpness against the 70-200 f/4 and the 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 and they are all very close
I don’t see many Panasonic shooters using this lens. 28-200 is a novice lens for vacation. I used them early in my photography. But I haven’t seen my many Panasonic photographers besides myself
I was not trying to be pretentious or snobbish. I mainly shoot photography not video and it is a great lens But I didn’t see it being used by a lot of videographers. But since I don’t shoot video I don’t know.
2:44 This is very weird quality... I think your lens is broken...definitely. I can't believe it.. Is that real? please try request for repair. It's not kidding. what a ridiculous quality.
3:00 wtf are you talking about that's not how it works. 4k60 it's a digital crop because of its limitations, doesn't make it "28-300" 🤨it's the same image with the same resolution and details but just digitally zoomed in. secret benefit... 😒

4:56 Technical Note! I misquoted a spec! When you are at 28mm you can go to an F32 and when you are at 200mm you can go to an F45
This is why i love the 14-140 for mft

My first review I’m watching on this! Damn I love super zooms so I’m gonna need this.
I appreciate you!
@@MatthewDangyou how’s the feel of the zoom and focus? Similar to the 20-60mm kit lens? Usually these super zooms can feel a little cheaper.
It feels pretty solid, it isn’t as smooth as the 24-70 f2.8 but for travel purpose lens this is amazing

Thanks so much for the heads up. It seems to be suitable to my style of works.

Thanks man!

Interesting perspective🤔
It’s a tool in the toolbox… nothing to do with ‘novice’ or ‘experienced’ 😂. Panasonic have done a great job here.

This is not sharp at all on that zoom. Looks really bad.
