Thank you for this informative video. I just bidded on the same lens at Yahoo Japan auction and will soon receive it. I have the Panasonic 14-42mm as well as 45-175mm lenses, but frankly I get tired of swapping lenses. So, this 12-60mm will give me a bit more wide and zoom in comparison to the 14-42mm. To get more zoom, I will soon purchase the recently released (March 2019) Olympus 12-200mm telephoto zoom. It is currently in #3 position in popularity here in Japan.
have this lens and it's my daily driver so to say. changing to dinner primes, 14mm plus the 25mm, May switch out the 14mm for the 15mm. but the 12-60mm is a great lens for general walking round lens.
I have come to the conclusion that I don't need to lug around my full frame Sony a7Riv with all those heavy lenses. So I am going with Lumix gx85 and three lenses. For street photography and traveling I will be carrying a much less expensive system and it's so much lighter, And for my purposes and post processing skills I can get the prints that meet my needs.
Great review. What a camera (and kit in general) Panasonic created! Really impressive. In my opinion all cameras produced after this model should be as good as G85 was when it was released, and have same quality lens as this one. It's one of those products, that make you think "did capitalism stopped in that period for Panasonic??", because it doesn't seem castrated in some functions (like manufacturers usually do, in order to sell similar products twice).
@@TheHybridShooter I meant as a kit lens, and as a camera in general. For that year, if not for today. But are you saying that today, say a Canon camera, has a better kit lens in comparison with this Panasonic 12-60mm? I'm not familiar with this.
One of the better lens reviews, straightforward and pertinent to its intended use, as an all purpose lightweight lens which would be ideal for those with micro four thirds system cameras going on holiday or travel, etc. Its slower focussing in video might though be an issue for taking family movies? You could make a great travel kit with this lens and a 35 mm or 50 mm fast prime. I don't have this lens, but I'm thinking of buying for a present for my daughters to share on their Olympus cameras.
Good review. I have the Panasonic GH5 and I have this 12-60mm kit lens. I also have the Olympus 12-50mm f/3.5 and also Panasonic 14-42 f/3.5. Which one is better for maintaining sharp focus while moving the camera or if the subject is moving? Interested mainly in video shooting. Your help is appreciated.
I'm a layperson in these things, but why does the autofocus not work with that lens? It seems a downer for video aficionados. Is it something about Panasonic's particular AF? So would one have to somehow operate zoom and manual focus at the same time? Is that possible with some finger-cramping?
That is because of how the lens is designed, it is "varifocal" lens .For example Leica version of 12-60 is parfocal lens so it stays in focus while zooming in, I talked about that in this video: bit.ly/leicavslumix
Thank you! I learned something new. :-) Could you help me with a kind of urgent decision I have to make for various reasons? I'm torn between the G81 and the FZ2000. Of course reviews can mention all kinds of negative points for any camera, and that can make a decision hard. But from my current understanding the G81 kit lens is just a total funspoiler for video, and that's gonna be my mildly primary focus. As I understand, with the FZ2000 I can avoid zoom motor noise during filming by zooming manually. That actually sounds fun, opening quick and precise zooms for artistic purposes. Do you know of any important differences between those two cameras that I'd need to know? My budget is pretty much limited to the price of a camera alone right now, and the FZ2000 lens seems to give me plenty of things to do so that I might not be tempted to get some super-special extra lens that I can't with the FZ2000. I'm hearing about unsharpness issues though, and it's not fun to finally make the step to 4K (actually HD even, haha) and then being confronted with such.
I much prefer G81 over FZ2000, the main difference is that G81 has relatively large MFT sensor whereas FZ has small 1 inch sensor usually used in point and shoot cameras. You can also buy better lenses for G81 later on, for example 20mm F1.7 II for low light.
I just want to carify that the sensor size doesnt effect the amount of light coming though the lens. The exposure will still be the same. Only the depth of field will change due to shorter focal lengths. Imagine cropping in on a full frame sensor or negative, just because you crop in it doesnt get darker. The depth of field for a certain angle of view changes though, due to the smaller size of the entrance pupile.
There is nothing to clarify, sensor size absolutely affects the total amount light that it can capture, which is what matters. You will only get the same exposure because of how the ISO works. You will get completely different amount of noise though.
@@TheHybridShooter so if you use a 25mm 2.8 lens on the 110 film system (same frame size as mft) with iso 100 film you need the more light than with a 50mm 2.8 lens and iso 100 film on a 35mm film camera??!?
@@TheHybridShooter another clarification: im only talking about exposure, not noise. The exposure for a given scene doesnt change with changing the focal length. If you shoot with iso 100 in sunlight, your exposure is around 1/100s and f16 going of sunny 16, regardless of sensor size and focal length.
Again, only because of how the ISO works. Different amount of noise at the same ISO is an evidence that the light gathering is not the same. Only light gathering per area is the same, not total amount of light.
So the amount of light per square centimeter of sensor area changes when i use a 50mm f2 lens on an mft sensor compared to the same lens on a film camera? So lets say i have my film camera with a 50mm lens set at f2 with iso 200 film loaded, the amount of light hitting a 1cm sqare in the center of that negative is larger than the amount of light hitting a 1cm square in the center of the sensor when i use the same lens and adapt it on a micro four thirds camera, use the same aperture and also set the camera to iso 200?
How do you turn on the power ois for video. Im using a gh4 and from research i fou d out you go to picture mode then turn on stabilizer. But it doesnt seem to make any difference giving shaky footage. Need help
Should i get the Olympus 12-40 2.8 or keep this kit lens? All I want is one lens for everything. Including some low light, but I'm not sure if $600 of the 12-40 is worth it.
I just bought the G95 with this 12 - 60 kit lens. I don't know how to zoom the lens in and out on my camera. I can do it manually of course, but how do I zoom it using the power of the camera body?
Man this footage looks incredible! My DTLA GH4 video shot with the 25mm f1.7! How do you get this footage to look so clear? mine isn't as crisp as this. Post processing?
I like to take pictures of castles so I'm not that far away really and occasionally need to zoom a little, my current camera is 18-55 and it's ok, would this lense be suitable?
Thanks, I generally much prefer 12-60mm over 14-42mm. Just be aware that manual focusing is not very good with any of those two lenses if you want to use it, and smooth zoom in is also very difficult to do.
The Hybrid Shooter Thank you for answreing that fast, really need some help. What is best budget lens under 200€? Thanks! Have subscribe! VD Productions®
nice review.Btw is this the same kit lens the gh5 has or not?If not can you use this on gh5 if one already has this lens and only like to get GH5 body?
@Dominik - did you take it? :) I am now considering those 2 options in G9X and I wonder which one will be better for general use, mainly landscape, streetphoto and museums ;).
Hey all, does this lens have stepless aperture for video or do you notice the aperture notching open or closed if in shutter priority mode? I have the 14-140 and it has a stepless aperture design for video. Thanks.
So this lens is pretty good for videos as I undertood, but is it any good for taking portraits I wonder? Can you achieve that desired blurred background effect with the subject in focus?
I have 12-60 kit lense and 45-200 mk 1. Should I trade these two lenses for Panasonic 14-140 f3.5 -5.6? Will I loose quality in 14-60 range? Will really appreciate your opinion. Thanks
Nikolay Grishakin I have both the 12-60 and the 14-140. I haven't used the 45-200 so can't comment on that and can't therefore say if you should trade, but to answer your question about quality in the 14-60 range I'd say the 12-60 and 14-140 are identical and you wouldn't be sacrificing any quality in that range. For me the only benefit of the 12-60 is that it is weatherproof, and if I think it might be wet or dusty conditions I'll take that lens, but otherwise I'd always choose the 14-140 just because of its greater range which is great. (I also have the 7-14 which combined with the 14-140 gives me a great range and therefore the 12mm end of the 12-60 isn't really relevant to me, but if I didn't have the 7-14 or if I didn't want to carry the extra lens with me, then maybe in some scenarios the 12mm would be good to have rather than 14. Hope that helps. ☺
Depends. For social events or moving subjects in general go with prime lens(es), e.g 20mm/f1.7. For static subjects 12-35/f2.8 is good, but version I (can't tell anything about version II) suffers from ugly green lens flare if you have bright light source in the field of view (street lamps). Maybe prime lenses might be somewhat ok, since G80 and newer higher end cameras have in-body image stabilization. It really depends on what kind of low-light photography you want to do. 12-35/f2.8 is somewhat expensive and it has somewhat limited use: 12-60 is more versatile in daylight, prime lenses are better when you want low aperture and they have nicer bokeh.
Hi. Thank you so very much for your most informative reviews. Do you have any thoughts about the Panasonic 14-140mm f3.5 lens compared to this 12-60mm kit lens? Thank you.
Hi ! i try to choose and hard to make it cos it's have a same price. For inside/outside mostly video shooting. panasonic G7 with 14-140 lences ( where image stabilization in lence only, but people say it's perfect lences) or Panasonic G85 with 12-60 lences ( which is also pretty well according to many reviews) ??? Thanks !!!!
This lens is very poor for videography. It's not parfocal, panning is difficult as it loses focus very easily. Focus hunts for no reason. Btw I'm using G9
It is kit lens that you can get for about 200 USD with the G9, expecting it to be parfocal is completely unreasonable. If something looses the focus, it is the camera, not the lens. My G9 doesn't do that though.
Finally , review with important information!
Thanks, that was the purpose.
Ive been going through your g85 videos for days and just decided to click the buy button on the kit at 899.99. Maybe later this year ill get the 12-35 when its on sale, but this will partner with my x-t2 for still very nicely

I unfortunately don't know, I have never used GH4.
Excellent video....as all other videos you post. How would you compare this with the Oly 12-40mm 2.8? Thanks
Thank you, unfortunately I haven't tested the 12-40 yet, so I can't compare those two lenses.
Why is a kit lens, less w/ purchasing a camera than by itself?
Had same system, zooming + focus no problem at all.
It doesn't work on my G85 unfortunately, only with 7-14mm F4 it can keep focus while.
i guess it's because of settings, overall auto-focus is not great but still i got some really nice video zoom shots with excellent focus.
Should i get the Olympus 12-40 2.8 or keep this kit lens?
All I want is one lens for everything. Including some low light, but I'm not sure if $600 of the 12-40 is worth it.
I would prefer 12-60mm F2.8-4 as and upgrade because of the dual IS and DFD profile, which will also help in low light.
Nice video man! Is the focus ring smooth enough for rack focusing in video work or is it sticky like other older Panasonic kit lenses?
Yes, it is focus by wire, so it is completely smooth.
I just bought the G95 with this 12 - 60 kit lens. I don't know how to zoom the lens in and out on my camera. I can do it manually of course, but how do I zoom it using the power of the camera body?
There is no power zoom on this lens, you can only zoom manually.
@@TheHybridShooter Thank you. I can live with that. The G95 is an amazing camera.
Which one its better 12-60 or 14-140
Image quality is better with 12-60, but 14-140 has longer focal range.
I USE GX85 , I want to know how I know a dual is work (len + body collaboration is) . Did the camera show some signal ?
Yes, there should be an icon in top right corner.
Man this footage looks incredible! My DTLA GH4 video shot with the 25mm f1.7! How do you get this footage to look so clear? mine isn't as crisp as this. Post processing?
GH4 has AA filter, which decreases the sharpness a bit and I also use very high export bit-rate so that probably makes most of the difference.
I like to take pictures of castles so I'm not that far away really and occasionally need to zoom a little, my current camera is 18-55 and it's ok, would this lense be suitable?
Yes, it will be suitable, 18-55 on APS-C is 27-82.5mm full frame equivalent, this is 24-120mm, so you will have much longer focal range.

This lens is very poor for videography. It's not parfocal, panning is difficult as it loses focus very easily. Focus hunts for no reason. Btw I'm using G9
It is kit lens that you can get for about 200 USD with the G9, expecting it to be parfocal is completely unreasonable. If something looses the focus, it is the camera, not the lens. My G9 doesn't do that though.

Great video. Thanks for sharing with us.
Your turn now.
You're welcome!
Very bad that - you use in all your video same video-sample.... You need more different sample for video review
I don’t care, I use what I have.
