Hi everyone, I'm looking for a video lens to use in the lumix G7, I've been researching and found 2 lenses that the guys recommend that is the Lumix G 12-35mm f / 2.8 and Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 15mm f / 1.7, which lenses do you recommend me? or if there are any better ones in the same price range. thank.

You don`t say what your needs are.

I forgot to say, but I'll use it for productions for music videos

Choose a brand, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus etc, buy a mount adapter and shoot with a bunch of the older legacy lenses, you could kit yourself out with a bag of primes very cheaply.

This makes a lot of sense if you into video production, imagine adding a B came at some point and trying to fund the cost of modern optics that will pair.

Lol 2 50mm`s might set you back as little as 10$, 2 modern cheap kit lens could easily set you back 400$.

Save on lenses and spend more on the lighting and sound, good lighting and sound is where its at for music video`s.
