Re: Which lenses for GH4, and other questions? (Low - medium budget)

My first choice would be the 12-35 2.8.  The GH4 body is well balanced and the 12-35 feels great when mounted on it.  Of course, the obvious choice for a medium reach telephoto is the 35-100 2.8.  Both lenses are weather sealed and they both have OIS built-in.  The Panasonic/Leica 25 1.4 M4/3 lens is outstanding for the "normal" range.  You have some favorite Nikon lenses, but when you add the converter to those lenses, you will have a 'manual' lens.  Do you want to focus manually full time?  The auto focus on the GH4 is very fast and accurate.  Maybe save up the cash for the three lenses that I have suggested and DO get the GH4.  Waiting for the next body to be released can be a long and frustrating experience.
