Is the gx7 (with in-body image stabilization) fully compatable with the Panasonic g O.I.S lenses? The g 14-45 gets better reviews than the kit 14-42.

The GUY is compatible with all M43 lenses. A Lens with O.I.S. will turn the GX7 I.S. off, because the O.I.S. has a better stabilization than the GOD body. When a non stabilized lens is on the GX7, it will switch back to in body I.S.

GX7 is a fantastic camera. Yes it is fully compatible with OIS lenses. Silent mode is what I've been waiting for - digital Konica Hexar.

The gx7 is compatable with O.I.S lens. Lens without stabilization will use the in-body stabilization and lens with stabilization will bypass the in-body and use the in-lens stabilization.

For the GX7, lens optical image stabilization will override in body stabilization. The in body stabilization will be used when the lens contains no built in stabilization. Page 203 of the pdf users manual includes a chart detailing this behavior.

Yes. The in body image stabilization is only active when non O.I.S. lenses are used. When A Panasonic O.I.S. lens is mounted, the lens's stabilization is used, and the in body stabilization turns off.

I use both Olympus and Panasonic lenses, and Panasonic lenses both with and without OIS, with my GX7 (and E-M5). If there's a difference in the way it handles stabilization with the different lenses, I haven't noticed it.

The Olympus MFT Lenses will fully work with this camera, but the GH3 does not have in-body stabilization.

I use it with the a7s, and that's a pretty small camera in its own right (about 17 ounces with battery and SD card). A G6 should work just fine with a semi-heavy lens. I use the Tokina 11-16 with only 1 set of weights on the bottom and the arm about half extended and it works perfectly. If you're really worried about the weight, I'd highly reccomend investing money in a few quick release plates and permanently leaving it on the stablizer. Weight aside, switching from stabilizer to monopod/tripod is a real pain. Use the money you're saving with this unit compared to a glidecam and buy quick release plates. It'll add weight, and it'll make life MUCH easier. I'm so happy with this product. 5 stars. Don't look at the glidecam or anything else. This and quick release plates. And you'll still have money to spend.

The OIS switch on my 14-140 lens works both smoothly and easily. It seems the same as two other Panasonic lenses that I have with OIS. The 14-140 lens I have is the newest version with the switch labeled "Power O.I.S.".

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...

For any Olympus body except the OMD EM5 (or any future bodies with 5 axis in-body image stabilization), use the lens OIS with the Panny 45-200. Pretty much everyone agrees OIS is better than IBIS with this combo.

I bought this case for my Panasonic GX1 with 14-42PZ lens combo. It barely fit, but was too tight to use. The Canon G 1X is considerably larger, so no, this case will not fit.

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.

The only issue between The Panasonic and Olympus micro 4/3 lens mount cameras is the image stabilizer. Panasonic uses lenses with image stabilizing in them, like the Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit. Olympus has the image stabilizer in the camera, so you should have no problems with your camera or lens working automaticly.

Correct. It will not fit. the Gx1 is a Micro 4/3 camera. The macro tubes you have are for standard 4/3. Two different lens mounts (4/3 refers to the size of the sensor in the camera). I learned this the same way you are! Sorry.

According to the Panasonic lens chart for the 14-45 lens, the minimum focus distance is 1 foot or 12 inches. I haven't tested the G1 in the more traditional macro/close-up type approach. I didn't get the impression that the camera likes getting closer than 12".From @2-3', I was able to engage the Extended Zoom (2x) + 4x digital + a Tcon 1.7 teleconverter (1200mm) and got surprisingly good results. I'm not suggesting you do it, but it worked.

The Olympus 25mm/1.8 shares similar properties with the 45mm/1.8. Similar good workmanship (plastic body), similar size, similar good image quality. There is no image stabilization in the lens. The IS of my E-M5 works equally good on both lenses. I do not know how it performs on the Panasonic GM-1, but both lenses are great on the E-M5.In comparison, the Olympus 17mm/1.8 has a somehow higher quality rating due to it's metal body, but the image quality is slightly worse.

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).

While i don't own the GX7, given the same micro 4/3 mounting, I expect the lens to work.
1198297
I don't see why it shouldn't. What you get with olympus bodies is that the image stabilization is in the camera, whereas the Panasonic cameras rely on it being in the lens. So with a manual OM lens you won't get image stabilization on this, but you would on an Olympus Pen.

Nope - this is just the basic Olympus 14-42. Nothing fancy. You're talking about this one: Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 Lens for Panasonic Lumix G-Series Digital Cameras (Black)

Sharp and clear lens : several websites on photography published tests with this lens (generally very positive opinions), if you want a closer look on the photographs taken with it you can also consult the GX7 group on flick river. Personally I prefer prime lenses, but i'm satisfied with the14-42 II kit lens.
