Panasonic GH4

Are there any Lens other than Panasonics that will be fully compatible with the GH4

What function would I lose by using another brand except Leica of course.

Thanks....Jeff

The only stumbling block is stabilisation.

The GH4 does not have a stabilised body (IBIS) and relies on shake reduction through the lens system.

Most Panasonic lenses (not all) have OIS.

If you ignore OIS then any m43 mount lens will function on your GH4.

I have no experience of video and if that is your need then there may be other limitations in using non-Pana lenses with the GH4.
