Will G1 Lenses Work on This Camera? I have emailed Panasonic 3 times with this question and despite their promise to respond within 3 business days it has now been 21 days total. Still no reply.Will my H-FS045200 and my H-FS014045 lenses work and work properly on the GF-1? Both of these lenses were designed for the Panasonic G-1, which is also a four thirds system. I don't know why they wouldn't.....but you never know.... Will G1 Lenses Work on This Camera?

Yes they will work they are both micro 4/3rd lens and of course you still have the original 4/3rd system and the OM lens to pick from i hope this solves your question.

Check out which accessories will work on the GF3 if it says it can use either the PANASONIC DMW-RS1 and RSL1 than this timer will work.

I haven't used a G9 etc but have it's baby brother the 12Mp AS650 IS.The sensor is apparently the same but it overexposes the highlights and is too slow to autofocus and shoot. BUT love the twisty screen. It is so useful for high/low shots. That is what will sell me on the G11. I love the idea of the panorama on the Sony HX1 but apparently the image quality on the panorama is not great and the camera is bulky. If you have handled a G10 you will see just how easy and accessible the controls are. Totally right for an SLR user. The G11 will have better image quality than the G10 due to reduced Mp count and upgraded tech. Hopefully the G12 will have HD video and everyone will be happy.

Hi best thing is to call Panasonic and ask. I had to do an exchange because of bad cross info and they were very helpful. But after that it has worked flawless. So far did about 30+ dives and has been great. Would give the # if I had it but on vacation again. Good luck.

Yes, it's compatible with Olympus E-P1~5, E-PL1~6, E-PM1 & 2. Surely works for Panasonic Lumix G, GH & GF series of Micro Four Third cameras. Good optics, my only comment is the zoom ring is stiff, not silky smooth as Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Sigma or Tamaron. But overall good lens for the price.

The GF1 20mm kit lists as available (ships 3-5 days, with free shipping) direct from Panasonic. I'm not sure if links to other retailers are allowed in amazon discussions so I'm hesitant to post it, but it is there. I am waiting for amazon because Panasonic charges sales tax in California and that's nearly a 10% addition to the final price -- even so, I'm tempted to order it direct as the waiting is getting old and I would really like to have the camera before Christmas, which is looking more and more unlikely.

With the GF2, the lens on/off switch overrides the in-camera menu on/off . So the switches (camera or lens) are redundant, but the lens setting overrides the camera setting. Both control the lens OIS. The camera has no image stabilization built in to the body.Some Panasonic lenses have OIS but no external switch, so you control OIS through the camera setting. Other (some Panasonic and all Olympus) lenses have no OIS, so with those lenses you will not have any image stabilization regardless of what your camera setting is.

Sure. That is one of the main advantages of micro 4/3 system. All micro 4/3 lenses will work with any micro 4/3 camera.It is said that Panasonic cameras will be able to get a bit more from Panasonic lenses, and Olympus cameras from Olympus lenses, in terms of firmware correction (such as geometric distortion or vignetting), but they are said to be very subtle, though. Basic correction will work, as Autofocus, and almost everything.I have, for instance, an Olympus 45mm f.18 lens that is probably my favorite lens (wonderful for portraits), and works perfectly with my Panasonic GH2.

S.R.,I just ordered a battery that "may" work, based on all the information I could find. I'll post the results when I can verify it works or not with as many details as possible, including the firmware my G1 has. It may be @10 days before I receive and thoroughly test it.I'm still interested in any and all suggestions. It may be helpful to other users, too. I can try not to update the camera, but some of the lenses get firmware updates too.Thanks for taking the time to reply.

My EOS-1Ds Mark III arrived about two weeks ago around the first of Dec. Certainly there are no focus problems on any lens I've tried, and I have 8 or 10. In fact, one can "tweak" the focus for each lens. I've not seen the need for this rather technical step, however, and should I, then I'll do it professionally with correct charts, lighting and so on. It can be redone, though, so any errors can be corrected.

Great! Thanks for replying and letting me know. Enjoying your G2? I just got mine this weekend and love it. Turned around and dropped another $700 on lenses and filters; nothing I already had would fit.

I am using it with my old Olympus OM Zuiko 50mm F1.2 lens from about 1992. It is a fully manual lens, so on my Panasonic GX1, I select "Shoot w/o Lens" on the menu and set it to manual setting and I work on it like that. You would only use this if you're familiar with old lenses and if you're ok with manual settings.

The GFC-1 works with the 14mm end of your 14-42GX lens. When you attach the proper adapter (the 37mm for the 14-42) to the GFC-1, you will think that it does not fit and become frustrated. Fear not. It is just a very tight fit and you will have to exert some effort in turning the adapter ring onto the GFC-1. The adapter you will not be using is the 46mm. I use that one with my 14 f2.5 lens (a very nice lens to have, if you do not have one already). So, the short answer is that the unit works only with the 14mm end of your lens and not with the zoomed focal lengths between 14 and 42.

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

I have had mine for over a year assuming nothing has changed in the manufacturing, the battery communications works fine on the HF G10. Can not comment about the others. I only charge from the camera.

I joined Club Panasonic when I purchased one of my Panasonic cameras. I got an e-mail from them yesterday offering the DMC-G2K Body Only for $350. They had 3 other options: a G2K with an H_FS014045 14-45 lens for $600 and a G2K with either the 20mm or 14mm "pancake' lens for $650. This offer was directly from Panasonic for Club Panasonic users.
