Richard. Thanks for posting some clarification. Shame F4's not used for most Panasonic tests. I find it’s pretty much the sweet spot re most P and L lenses at wide/mid focal range. At least you’re...

Indeed. Real sceptics may assume that DPR doesn’t appreciate Panasonic gear as much as other makes. I wouldn’t go quite that far, but it seems coincidental that the testing procedure for Panasonic...

Yes. Autofocus Macro, as it’s called, allows us to focus at full zoom from around 1 mtr (3 ft) away. If we don’t have it engaged at full 108 mm (600mm EFL) zoom, minimum focus distance is around ...

Interesting news/rumour, John. If the camera’s based around an APS-C sensor as the article implies, maybe Panasonic won’t market their own version of it. Perhaps more likely is that as with the ...

Good advice there, Peter, and something I personally do as a matter of course. I've still to view the thread you linked above, so cannot comment on your personal experience of any issues you've ...

Thanks for your interesting shot, Winnie. FWIW, I don't use a tripod for moonshots. I usually just brace my hold over the roof of my car. I also find that when using 'spot metering' in particular ...

Nice of you to share your moth image here. :-) Thanks very much for posting. I trust that you're enjoying the learning curve associated with the G9 II. All the best and happy shooting, Cheers...

No. I find that for the majority of readers of my reviews, files I share are of adequate size for them to make quick evaluations re colour, contrast, sharpness, clarity, etc, which is what I ...

Agreed. In the review, I mentioned cheaper alternatives to obtaining the lens, including kit deals and used goods. Yep. Absolutely it is. Absolutely disagree here. Whilst I acknowledge that ...

Thank you for your sharing your experiences of the lens. I appreciate your post, as I'm sure other readers will, too. :-) All the best. Cheers...

Thanks again to all having contributed to this thread so far. I really do appreciate your time and effort here. For anyone who may be interested, here's a couple more image examples from my G9 II, ...

Indeed it is. I note from your initial post above that you didn’t own a copy of the 14 – 140 back in November 2021. Hopefully my review will have aided your decision to obtain one. Either way, I’d ...

Thanks for the nice photos and your feedback on your copy. Kind of you to post. :-) Cheers...

I realise I'm very late replying, Vit - probably because I was on a break from DPR when you posted in 2022 - but thanks for the above contribution. I'd seen quite a few complaints re shutter shock ...

You're very welcome, Brian. Thank you again. Indeed, it appears to have been your good self who highlighted the same error in 2021 (under a previous username of pannylumixfan), and to which I ...

FWIW, and cutting a very long story short, I ended up returning my first copy of the 12 – 60 I bought from one vendor... not for optical problems but because the lens housing squeaked slightly ...

Interesting, Joseph. When it comes to potentially displaying your video, have you thought about editing it down to full HD and sticking the results on Youtube or vimeo or similar? Just a thought - ...

Thanks for the nice photos and your views on the camera's performance. Much appreciated. :-) Cheers...

Yes, the crop-ability associated with the increased resolution is impressive, isn't it. ;-) Good luck with it all. Cheers...

Respectfully, it’s not the first time that DPR test chart results seem at at odds with real-world findings of users who already own a camera in question. Many early G9 II adopters like the IQ from...
