Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-150mm F4-5.6 ASPH Mega OIS User Reviews

Great Lens When Considering Build, Size, Function, IQ & Price
“With the Panasonic 45-150mm I photographed the bookshelf at 45mm, 60mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm. For each of the focal lengths I photographed with the aperture wide open, f/5.6, and f/8. At 100mm and 150mm wide open was f/5.6 so I only took 2 photographs at those focal lengths. I found the image quality to be impressive at wide open with excellent center sharpness and very good corner sharpness.” – By J. Gebauer

Fantastic lens!
“This is a truly fantastic lens. It is small, compact, light weight, and sharp! I previously used the Panasonic 45-200, and immediately sold it after trying this lens. Despite having 50mm less reach, the compact size and improved optics make it the better of the two. And that’s saying a lot — the Panasonic 45-200mm lens is a great lens itself.” – By A. Gray

Budget Compact Telephoto
“The lens, given the micro four thirds limitations, does not perform well in low light, and a sunny day is necessary to bring out its potential, but given the right conditions this lens is incredibly sharp and has a decent bokeh. The sharpness does drop off from about 120-150mm, but not horribly.” – By Idaea

Great kit lens
“Works perfectly with my Panasonic G5. Photos crisp; focus is fast and accurate from short to long zooms. Very happy with results. My first 4/3 camera after DSLR and really like the size and weight; much easier to take on hikes through forest trails.” – By Tina from Brooklyn

Good Zoom for the Price
“Size. it is relatively small compared to a DSLR lens
Cost. I got it for free with the purchase of the G5. Even at full price, this is a pretty good lens to have.” – By JoshT

A fine telephoto zoom for micro 4/3
“I don’t have any complain about sharpness. Built-in image stabilizer works pretty well. Compactness and light weight are also plus for micro four-thirds system comparing to the same equivalent other DSLR lenses. This lens serves in between my Panasonic 14-45mm and 100-300mm zoom.” – By sy

Nice Standard Telephoto Lens
“This is a really nice telephoto lens, with a solid feel to it (metal construction and base). The zoom and focus rings operate very smoothly, unlike the 14-42mm standard zoom lens. A lens hood is included, very nice. The optical image stabilizer works well. The lens is also incredible small, considering the 90-300mm (35mm equivalent) zoom range it covers! Pictures taken with this lens look nice,.. I’m using this with my DMC-G5 camera.” – By Jet Shine
