If i put this lens on a GH4, would it be a true 17mm?

Any focal length is always that focal lengh. its like how tall you are does not change whether you are in a Fiat or a 2 decker bus. Field of view changes as you change cameras with different size sensors. The 17.5 on M43 has the field of view of a 35mm on full frame 35mm. Best, Stephen CameraQuest

Yes and no. At 16mm, it will work on full frame Canons, with a slight vigniette on the extreme corners. At 11-15mm, however, the entire frame is not covered. I occassionally use this lens on my 5D mark 1 and get some amazing results! It's the only "crop" lens I kept after upgrading from my t2i =)

Yes. I use it with the GH4. Be sure to set the camera to work "with no lens attached" in settings.

As long as you get the m43 version not the end mount version you should be good. It will be a long normal or short portrait on a m43 body like your g6 rather than a wide normal on sony bodies which may limit it's use depending on what you are looking to shoot. An alternative is the 17mm f2.8 pancake which in my experience is almost As sharp and around the same price but is a great walk around focal length of 34mm

I wouldn't say that it is a wider angle than the low-end 14mm, but the image clarity is higher than a zoom lens at 17mm being a dedicated prime. It is certainly more compact.

The crop factor for micro four thirds cameras (like your GH) is 2x. So the actual focal length will be 60mm which I would consider more for portraiture, not good for wide angle shots.

If you look at DC Resource's review of 2009, you'll see that the 14-140 lens was the "Kit Lens" for the GH1 when it came out. See this link: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_gh1-review

Yes, you can use an auto focus lens. No, the auto focus won't work, you'll have to manually focus and set the aperture prior to putting it on your GH3.

Yes, it'll work very well. As mentioned elsewhere, it is a heavy lens - 29oz - but, I took some hand held images of the full moon 2 days ago and they were very, very sharp. This is the only lens made (by anyone) in that zoom range (16.7X)! I have no problems hand-holding it at shutter speeds less that 125th/sec with the Vibration Reduction turned on! SO, you may not need to put it on a tripod for most work - the VRII does the trick. Another thing I really like about the lens is it can be locked at the 18mm setting which I find useful when shooting panoramas or vistas.

For sure, this works great with the canon lens on the GH. The only issue you will have is with the aperture, so you will have to set it on your canon before you put it on the GH.

Make sure you select the micro 4/3 option for this lens on amazon not the Sony E-mount. It should be compatible with any micro 4/3 camera, which I think the G6 is, right?

Well, if GH4 shares the same mount as the other GH or in my case the Olympus OM-D , then this one will work. It's not a perfect piece, but it works and I find it useful mostly in Video.

Hi Nykki...Yes. This lens will work with the Lumix GH4 or any micro 4/3 camera. ヅ

Yes I believe you will especially on the 11-16mm. But I also think that shooting with that wide of lens, in most cases you could afford to crop it out if necessary.

I have that exact combo and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I can't compare it to the Olympus 17mm, but I can tell you it is a fantastic lens!

This is a Four Third lens. You need a 4/3 to Micro 4/3 Adapter to use it on GH1. The focus will be a little bit slower than a micro 4/3 lens, but usable.Olympus MMF-3 4/3 to Micro 4/3 Adapter Olympus MMF-3 4/3 Adapter RingPanasonic DMW-MA1 Lumix G Four Thirds DSLR Lens Mount AdapterPanasonic DMW-MA1 Lumix G Four Thirds DSLR Lens Mount Adapter

NO that lens is a 77mm lens, you would need a 77mm set which I am sure they make. This will fit only a lens that is 58mm. If you look on the front end of the lens where the lens cap goes you will see a single 2 number with like this XXmm that is the ring diameter of said lens. I own the 18-135 and I know that is 77mm
