Re: Help with Micro 4/3 lens and mounts

Even though I have somewhat recently purchased a used GH4 for some video work, I am still a bit confused on what lenses will work with what manufacturers. I am considering buying the Panasonic Leica 8-18mm f/2.8-4 ASPH but I am also toying with the idea of getting the new Sony a7 III. This is a full frame camera so will the Leica 8-18mm still work on it or do I need another Sony equivalent lens? Still trying to figure out the mount system with micro 4/3.

Many thanks,
Houston

You’ll need the Sony FE 16-35/4 lens.  The FF mount is larger than MFT.  BTW, I hear that lens is pretty good as is the FE12-24.  Bigger, more expensive, but still very good.
