Hi all,

I just got a GH4 and I am looking to get my first lens for it. I want a lens that it's good for landscapes and video, but isn't too wide do I can also do done video. I am fine with used lenses, and my budget is MAX $140 US, but I would prefer cheaper.

If there aren't any lenses that fit that category and price, then I'd love a good starter lens recommendation.

Thank you!

If you can stretch the budget a little bit (or wait a little longer and save) you can find the Panasonic 12-60 kit lens for under $200. There is one on fredmiranda for $185 and on ~$200 on ebay.

Damn... I might go with that. I have one of those and felt like I was getting a good deal with the used one I got for $250, but they may have come down in price since I got mine.  It's not the fastest zoom, but is well built and seems to be optically better than the kit zoom that I had before. I like it because it foes down to 12mm (and the 60mm can be useful as well) and has a really close focusing distance.

As others have mentioned, the 12-32 is a great start lens and tiny!
