Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm or 45-200mm
3 months ago

Hi Folks,

I'm a Panasonic m43 retread, having moved to Sony DSLRs over a year ago, and now working my way back with the recent purchase of a G5.

When I had my GH2, my very favorite lens was the PZ 45-175mm. At the time, however, it had a bad reputation with many users. I was never sure if I just wasn't very discerning or if I had gotten a good copy.

I'll be buying either the PZ 45-175mm or the 45-200mm. I'm leaning toward the PZ model, mainly due to it's lower weight. However, I'm hoping someone can reassure me that the lens doesn't have the problems that it did early on.

User comments on either lens would really be appreciated.

Jack
