You need an MMF1,3 or 3 adapter. Then it IS compatible. It is a SUPER sharp lens.

No, therefore IN-camera stabilization is required. I am using on a Panasonic GX7 which does.

I got the Megagear case for LX7. Sounds like some people received a case designed for theprevious Lumix LX5 model, as the lens was smaller and those cases don't fit the LX7.

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.

Read these both. http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2009/12/26/the-olympus-e-p2-digital-camera-review/ and http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2010/01/05/the-leica-x1-digital-camera-review/note he is not using a kit lens with the oly - he's using the 20mm pancake from the gf-1. May help!

I don't thik so.And... the GX7 is a small beautiful camera. I can't imagine it with this... Buy just an extra battery and keep it in your pocket. Cheaper, easier, cozyer.;)

Lex:Mine worked with no problem. Check the compatibility with your camera and if it is compatible, they may be defected. Sorry to hear about your trouble.Bahador

Yes, some people do complain about that. The short of it is that Panasonic GX1 lacks in body stabilization that all Olympus MFT bodies have. You can eliminate that in part by keeping the shutter speed faster than 1/250th of a second, or buying lenses that have Image Stabilization (Lumix 45mm-200mm for example). I hope that answers your question.

Check the spec's properly at the sony site. I bought this for my NEX7 because it was the one suggested in the Amazon description. I still have it because I through out the packaging so its useless to me. Check at Sony.com to make sure its compatible.

I return this product because it was not compatible with the camera got the same tunnel effect you are describing and a message on the camera telling me it was not compatible. Hope this helps.

iPhoto on my older G4 recognized the camera, no problem, but I switched to using Image capture to download them b/c the photos weren't last in the iPhoto library like they should have been. Haven't seen any mention of how to change the date on the camera but maybe the software lets you?

I don't know. I only own a GX7. but but it's a very well engineered highly functional lens

So long as the camera has a Micro 4/3 s sensor, then yes. I believe the GX7 is just that, so you should be good

I would say NO, Sherrill. I bought the lens for my Olympus Mini-PM1, in the hope that at least I would get two images per frame. Yes, the lens fits on the Olympus, but the camera told me "lens not supported" - doh. Had to by another Panasonic body (Lumix GF6), as the lens was useless, otherwise. It now works (on the Panasonic body), but the results are disappointing, at best. What can one expect from the two lenses so close to each other? I would stay away from it. If you are interested in stereo photography, get a Fuji W3 Stereo camera (I have two...). They are very good, by comparison! Best, Hans I would say NO, Sherrill.

Hello Mary: To begin with, the camera you have is a Point & Shoot model (P&S), or all-in-one type. These kind of cameras are convenient because you can take them anywhere - in a pocket, purse, or whatever. But they have tremendous image quality tradeoffs and they employ a very, very small sensor. They often wind up displaying more levels of image noise and other artifacts than more advanced models. The GX1 is a Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Model of camera. It employs a much larger sensor and this translates into much larger per pixel sizes. As a result, the GX1 displays much less noise and does very, very well at much higher ISO scenarios. Yet it is still a very light camera, and depending on the type of lens you put on it, it can also be very compact. Now, most people who have a small P&S camera and want to "move up" tend to initially be leery about getting a larger, more advanced model. But you shouldn't be. This GX1 (I have two of them because it is such a nice model) will net you pictures that can knock your socks off - it's that good. When you get one, you can just put your camera into Program or Automatic mode, which means the camera makes all the decisions for you. But as you gain more knowledge, the camera grows with you, and once you really know what you're doing (assuming you're an amateur), the GX1 will really open up your eyes to what it can do. I can't speak highly enough of it and I do lots of photo work in various scenarios. I currently use around 20 different advanced cameras, yet the GX1 is one of my favorite models. And lately, with the almost "give-away" prices, you'd be a fool not to get one. If you want to see some photo samples taken with the GX 1, you can just email me at: benherrmann@centurylink.net and I'll gladly send you some so you can see the rich color tonality and nice definition of photos that this camera can generate.

Response by Cajie B "cajie" on May 19th confirmed it does work with the GX1

Don't know about GX7 or G6 but have a GH5 and TTL works as does manual. I assume that since G6 and GH5 are somewhat related that this flash will work the same. As noted in other response, the Pan/Oly model should be ordered.
