Re: GH4 Lens

The GH4 does not have the 'in body image stabilization' [IBIS] found in current Panasonic [and Olympus] bodies.  Instead the older bodies depended on in lens 'optical image stabilization' [OIS].

Image stabilization helps compensate for camera movement, but does nothing for subject movement.

Panasonic has two series of lenses - the Leica branded lenses are 'faster' and much more expensive.

There are 45-200 & 100-300 mm options - checking B&H the longer lens is almost double the price of the 45-200.

If you only need occasional use of the lens - rentals are a possibility. Otherwise, you may want to check for used and refurbished prices
