My shortest lens is the Panasonic 14-140mm zoom, on the Lumix G5. Will these tubes work with such a large lens?

they can work, but keep in mind any lens where the barrel extends makes macro tubes a bit more difficult to use, because as you move in and out, your focal distance changes dramatically, and the entire camera would need to be moved to get the correct focal plane distance.

I normally use these tubes with the 14-45 and 20mm lenses. That being said, the tubes appear sturdy enough for use with the 14-140 as long as you're careful not to put too much torque on the combination. Optically you should be fine.

There is a lack of necessary information. But assuming the camera body and the lens are recent versions, the tubes will work fine. I have several lenses and have tried most of them except the 2 perspective control versions, and everything has worked so far

You are right, Cokin Z will not fit the big beast because it can be used only if the lens has filter threads and 14-24 has none.Cheers.

Worked great with Panasonic lumix. I think they r similar in weight. We did take strap precaution.

Yes, you should be able to use this lens on all Lumix G series cameras. If your buying this lenses you might want to take a look at the Lumix G Vario 14-45mm lens. I have not used that lens, but all the reviews suggest that it might be a bit better.

Extension tubes are best used with a short fixed lens they go between the camera and the lens giving greater distance from the sensor thus greater magification, they don't work well with longer lenses or telephoto lenses. You also need to have a camera that has the ability to allow you to change lenses. Macro filters work best with longer lenses and telephoto lenses as the longer lenses length intensifies their magnification its best to get fairly good macro lenses I have these and they work well but macro lenses can effect IQ hope this helps you decide

I took a look at the lumix camera to me it looks like the lens will be too big for the opening. I don't think you would be able to use your zoom function. Hope this helps you out.

For me, if I could only take one lens on a trip, it would be a choice between the Panasonic 12-35 and the 14-140. If I want better low light capability, I take the 12-35. If I know I will need greater zoom flexibility for sports or wildlife subjects, I will take the 12-35.

I only use it for Lumix FZ200 and it works fine. I am not sure about G5 compatibility.

If Panasonic DMC-G5kk is a Micro-Four-Thirds camera, it should work. By the way, there isn't any image stabilization in this lens.

Hard to tell. I have a Lumix with a 200mm lens and it was fine. Any issue was that the camera is so light compared to the lens, so the torque of the long lens seemed to have a slight effect, but I could clamp it down: it worked fine. If the weight of the system is centered over the base of the tripod, which a heavier camera would have, it should be OK. The tripod seems very sturdy for me.

The Panasonic H_H12035 Lumix G 12-35mm is a great start, the GH4 has a 2x crop so the 12-35 lens is equivalent to a 24-70mm full frame, it has Stabilization and works awesome with the GH-4. Great for video and stills.

Yes it will. Bought it for my dad who has a Panny First gen GF1. I was using an Olympus EPL2 (micro 4/3) and it worked. I also currently have an OMD (also a micro 4/3) which I have not formally tried but they are officially compatible. There us a newer model which has HD video capability if that's your thing now. Also, Olympus does do a 14-150mm lens which is lighter and cheaper although more soft if that is your thing.

I can tell you I use AF-S 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Nikkor Zoom Lens. It does work for light levels but of course you can't use autofocus with extension tubes. You focus with the zoom.

Yes, if you are talking about image stabilization. With regard to auto focus since this is one of oly's first premium lenses it should work but maybe be slower to find focus in the Lumix camera. Check different focus settings in the GH4.

Provided you are using a standard lens it shouldn't be a problem. If you go to a telescopic lens, then it will have to be removed from the camera body. Should you be wanting to go with a large diameter lens, this is not the bag for you. Also, remember, there is NO PADDING in the bag so you may want to either add some foam or think of a different means to carry your camera. Hope this answers your question.

I have the 15mm leica m43 lens and the 35-100 f2.8 lumix as well as the 25 mm leica f1.4 and it is the sharpest lens I own with extremely good color rendition. I have not used the 20mm panasonic lens, but if you can afford it, I think you will be happier with the leica though with the 25mm lens the camera I use becomes larger than a pocket camera. I use my lenses on a Lumix GX7.
