You need to shoot without lens off. This might help. http://suggestionofmotion.com/blog/panasonic-gh4-lens-options-canon-ef/

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

I use this lens with Panasonic Lumix GX1 and it works perfectly well. Pictures are sharp with no flares or other aberrations. Should work with GH3 as well.

I don't know I have a panasonic gh2 and the lens has an adapter that fits my camera. However it will not auto focus and I have found it to be difficult to get a clear focus with the lens i will probably return it.

Just double check if you need an adapter - I believe an adapter is needed to use Olympus 4/3 lenses on Panasonic 4/3 cameras and vice versa. But it should be pretty cheap. Otherwise it will work fine.

I have/had the Panasonic DMC G5. which is the same mount as your camera, so I don't see a problem. And my Nikon lenses for it mounted OK. Matter of a fact, I sold the camera recently (bought a Nikon D5100) and returned the Fotodiox to Amazon. It was within their 30 day return - Amazon paid the shipping back and credited my charge card. OH, I also sold the Panasonic G5 to Amazon for a gift card. The camera was just 8 months old - they gave me $100 MORE ($202 credit) for the camera than the camera store Adorama was going to give me. So kudos to Amazon.

Did you try calling Panasonic Help Desk? The lady walked me through the process step by step. Pretty helpful.

Got my DMC-TZ4 3 weeks ago, lens cover stoped working this weekend. It wasn't opening at all or opening half way. I decided to remove it, that was pretty easy, just grab one piece at a time(there is 4 of them) and pull it out.It was working fine, until I decided to take a picture from my car's window. Maybe it couldn't take the wind force...Anyway, now the lens doesn't go back inside when I turn it off. When I turn it on, it shows me the message "Turn off you camera and start it again". I hope I would be able to fix that one, as I understand Panasonic won't bother doing it.

The camera is not functioning well because of the lens barrier can not open fully, now I have to send the camera to Panasonic Factory Service Center for repair.

The panasonic lumix fz28 has a builtin lens. Unless you saw it off, there's no way to fit this lens onto an panasonic lumix fz28 ... ;-) Is this some sort of joke?

I have A Panasonic DMC-FZ35 and its lens or rather the housing around it look very similar and I buy lenses for it. By no means is it a DSLR. there are advanced point and shoots that have interchangeable Lenses. In this camera there should be a place inside the tubular part of the housing where a lens could screw in. Although I am not certain of what mount compatibility this camera has, that would be another question. however you should be able to add a lens over/ in front of the zoom lens. the zoom lense however cant be interchanged.

It connected perfectly but the camera came back with a message that it did not recognize the lens and would not take a picture. I have not set the camera in the total manual mode to try that yet and that may be the answer. However, since the connectors are so thick they make the camera with the attached lens very uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

Hey Donna......we had the same problem so returned it. My husband ordered a Nikon lense and has encouraged others not to buy other brands. They just dont work on the Nikon. Hope this helps.

No, the filter thread size is different. The only lenses Panasonic lists as compatible are the H-PS14042.

i use to have an old lens with a new camera, it was compatible but the pictures didn´t seem correct.

Check the camera operating manual, it tells you exactly what lens and adapter to use. If you don't have a manual you can obtain it online directly from Panasonic as a .pdf. Only buy the OEM lens and adapter as the others may not fit.

I am sorry it would not work with my Panasonic camera, but was advertise to work? I sent it back for a refund and have other units that work with my Canon kit, suggest you read their application chart and maybe it will work with some other camera system?Good Luck

This lens would not work as-is. It is for Panasonic and Olympus micro four thirds cameras. There may be an adapter, but the lens won't work natively.
