I have Olympus E-PM1. Will the kit lens that came with it work on the GH4? If so, it can save a lot of money if quality is good.

The GH4 does not have in-body image stabilization. The Oly lens does not have in-lens image stabilization. So yes, you can use the lens, but you'd better use a tripod or have a very steady hand. Otherwise, even if you use a high shutter speed, you'll find it hard to frame your shot because the subject will be jumping all around in the VF/LCD.Bottom line: you want some kind of stabilization. Oly puts it in the body, Panny puts it in the lens. (The GX7 has it in the body, but it won't work with video).

I don't know what the kit lens is. I use an Olympus 12-40 f2.8 and it's fine, even hand held to about 1/40s. Those with a steadier hand could probably do better than me

I have two Lumix 4/3 lens (the one that came with the camera and a 200mm zoom and they are great. All Lumix 4/3 lens should work as well. I have never tried any other brand. I also have the GX7 camera and both lenses work equally well on that camera.

It works on G3;do not know about GH4. I just used it on a regular tripod head and it works, however I do not know if it matches the 701 head

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.

No it won't. This thing works by clamp onto front side of your interchangeable lens; your G1 is prosumer grade ( DSLR-like) with build in lens, this kit is not for you.

I sorry, but I don't know. I am unfamiliar with the GH3. I have only used the Manfrotto with SONY Camcorders PD-170, Z7U, NX5 and NX70. Sorry I can't help.

I have a Panasonic GF2, GX1 and G3. As long as you get the m43 set it will work on those and all other of the Panasonic Gx series. The key is that you have an OM-mount lens. So I bought this to use with my Panasonics and my 50mm f1.2 Olympus OM Zuiko lens from about 20+ years ago. This set works fine for that. If you're like me and don't take enough macro shots to justify the cost of the 45mm Panasonic Macro lens, this will definitely fit the bill...

The Sigma 60 f2.8 for MFT will work with the Panasonic GH2 and any other micro four thirds format body, in the sense that the lens will mount and support autoexposure and autofocus. OIS? I don't think so. The lens doesn't have optical image stabilization built in, and to my knowledge neither does the GH2. (Don't take my word for it. I use Olympus bodies, which do have OIS.) Since I don't shoot with the GH2 I also don't know to what extent this lens will support focus tracking.

Hi, thanks question. Perhaps this lens can not work Aoto Foucus for GH2. I think much better More new type lens for Panasonic. Thanks in advance.

I am using the VF4 on my E-PL1 and it's working great. However, my camera firmware had to be upgraded which easily done through Olympus website uploaded. So, I believe VF4 should work all E-PL series. If it works for my oldest model it should work for you.

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.

Yes it will fit an E-P1 and all other cameras with an M4/3 mount. The only lenses that will fit on it are Olympus OM's (from their prior film SLR days). To fit lenses with other style mounts you will need other, appropriate adapters. You must manually focus with this and any of the other cheap adapters and you need to be able to manually set the aperture of any lens in question (such as by a lens ring with click-stops)

Sara, I guess the question is how soon you need a camera? If you already preordered, then you should have yours Nov. 24 which is rapidly approaching. Is that soon enough for you? Do you need a powerful, high performance prosumer mirrorless camera? If so, then I suggest the wait for the GH2 will be worth it for you. As for lenses, the first and only lens I see recommended without reservation is the Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 Aspherical Pancake Lens for Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Cameras. It's a pancake lens with rave reviews, and makes your GH2 into a pocketable, low light capable camera. That gives you a versatile zoom (14mm - 140mm) usable for video and stills, and a lightweight compact lens (20mm) for casual, indoor, street, and impromptu shooting occasions. Start with those, and expand as you desire. Also, don't forget, with adapters, you can adapt other lenses (e.g., Canon, Nikon, Leica) to your GH2. You can also use Olympus and other MFT (Micro Four Thirds) and with adapter FT (Four Thirds) lenses. I would start with the Panny 20mm though. Good luck.

On the Panasonic GH4? 1 hour and 25 min! and 45 min in 1080p All-I! It works perfectly for both, no problems. Better than I ever expected

This rig should work with most DSLR cameras, if the Panasonic GH3 has a standard tripod female thread on the bottom of the camera then theoretically it should work. The overall rigs functionality also depends on the choice of lens, so take into count the length of your lens plus the depth of the body to see if this is the right rig for your camera and your lens set up.

I have an E3 Olympus and no problem with the lens. It was my understanding when I looked into the lens that it would work on all 'E' cameras. Best advice...check with Olympus directly before purchasing.

This is a kit lens (it's often sold with a camera body). Kit lenses are usually just average quality. It's not very fast (f3.5 - 5.6) so in low light you'll be shooting at slower speeds which may result in blur due to moving the camera. A good body like the GH4 will compensate a lot by letting you shoot at a higher ISO (and faster speeds) without getting a lot of noise. It's great to have such a fantastic camera body; it's probably worth putting as good glass on it as you can afford. This lens (IMO) would be like putting $50 tires on a Ferrari. :-)
