Most versatile would be a zoom lens. If you have the money, buy a Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8.

Pana 12-35mm ios. Or the sigma 18-35mm 1.8 ..with the metabone speedbooster.best two choices.

I use the sigma 18-35 with a generic focal reducer I will be getting the metabone speed booster soon

I have the metabones + Sigma 18-35. It broke my wallet but I think its worth it in versatility. Heres some sample footage I got with it. Great in low light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geaML88EBpU

I am considering the Panasonic HDC-TM55k or the Canon Vixia MF M30. Still not sure which to go with. Anyone have any thoughts?

I recommend the 20mm Lumix lens. It's very sharp. The only complaint I have is when it's in auto focus mode, it has difficulty tracking moving objects.

Go with this one:Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH./POWER O.I.S./H-HS12035 - International Version (No Warranty)Really hard to get your hands on one but if you do, you're in luck! Great lens for the camera.

Myrna, Have you gotten your camera, yet? If so, what do you think of it? This would be my first digital camera, and what attracts me to this is that it has manual controls. I would be learning photography on it, so I figure I should have manual and auto controls. I am looking to get a Panasonic because a sales person at Best Buy raved about them and said they have the best lenses. To be honest, I know practically nothing about photography, but have had an interest in it for many years. Do you think this camera would be a good plact to start, at least digitally? Thanks, M

It should. This Panasonic lens has electrical contacts on the lens, which makes it ACTIVE, and the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera has an Active MFT mount.

If you're going backpacking, I imagine you want something light and maybe autofocus? The Panasonic 14-140mm covers a great range and is great for outdoors when the sun is shining, but it's kinda bulky. For night photography, it's not the best. If you plan on using it during the day, then that would be the most versatile. If you want to keep it smaller, you're best bet is a kit lens, like the 14-42mm. It's cheap, relatively small and takes fantastic photos in broad daylight. Again, it's a turd in the dark and the flash on the GX7 is a joke. You'll get the shadow of just about any lens in your shot when using the flash. If you're going backpacking, I imagine you want something light and maybe autofocus?

I have used it on Sony camera and it is a very good lens. I am not familiar with Black Magic Design camera unfortunately. Mir

This lens adapter is meant to adapt old Lieca M mount lenses to a micro 4/3 mount camera, like the Blackmagic Pocket Cam. This Panasonic lens you mention shouldn't need an adapter to fit onto the Blackmagic Pocket Cam as both the lens and the camera are micro 4/3. Now, if you've got an old Leica M mount lens, this adapter works quite well: a nice snug fit, appears to be very sturdy. And having Lieca glass on the Pocket Cam is quite nice.

What lenses do you own now and what's your budget? Are you asking for a longer telephoto lens or a single-lens-solution that covers a bigger range?

I bought that for a friend last year in another state, however, I never got any feedback in regards to that camera. I did buy a different camera for another friend - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25 16.1 MP Tough Digital Camera with 8x Intelligent Zoom. She told me that she loved it (and it did take great pics and videos). However, the only thing that was missing was a charger for the battery. I guess that had to be purchased separately.

Fantastic lens for talking head interviews. I've used this exact lens for interviews with a Blackmagic Cinema Camera and results were outstanding.

I wondered if there were better LCDs out there for outside photos than on my last two cameras (Fujis). Anyway, I am gravitating toward a slightly larger camera with a nice optical zoom. On the high end, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35, and on the low end the Fuji S1500. These cameras tend to have viewfinders, but I need to do a lot more research before I make a final decision.

Despite my purchase, I'm the wrong guy to be asking. I'm sure it's a good, versatile camera. But I was deluded as to size. I wanted something that would slip in my pocket -- this is too cumbersome to do so. I am neither recommending nor not recommending. Good luck.

I have the Lumix 12-35mm for my GH3. It's a great lens. But I would also like the Olympus 12-40mm for my OM-D E-M1. It's also a great lens. The Lumix 12-35mm has Optical Image Stabilization. The Olympus does not. It requires Image Stabilization in the camera body. If you have Panasonic stick with Panasonic. It you have Olympus stick with Olympus. If you have both get the Panasonic. You can turn off Image Stabilization when on the Olympus camera.

You have to know if 50mm equivalent works for you. Also look at 17 and 14mm from Olympus and Panasonic if you need wider field of view. I have the lens you ask about and it's great but focal length you shoot at is first priority. Look at previous pics and see. Also using Amazon I've bought new and used like-new with equal good results but cost a lot less!!!
