Using older Panasonic lense on a G7

I am looking at buying the G7 body, and I'm considering the lens package deals available at the moment. I have an older lens which has been used on the panasonic AF100EN video recorder.

LUMIX GX VARIO PZ 45-175MM F4/5.6 ASPH/POWER O.I.S LENS

Would there be any limitations using this lens on the g7 (eg. some functions not working)

Also, how this lens compares to the 45-150mm lens

http://www.panasonic.com/au/consumer/lumix-cameras-video-cameras/lumix-g-lenses/h-fs45150e.html

which is part of the package offers at present.

Advice would be great, as I'm happy to just buy the body (with a 25mm included) and use the older lens if it compares ok.

Thanks
