I made a little video on the 14-42 x lens showing size and how the power zoom options work in the menu of the GH2. enjoy:
Another 14-42x video for you all. Showing the NANO flare at 14mm. (that's what I'm calling it) My take: zoomed out to 14mm in this example the NANO flare was annoying, but as soon as I zoomed in it disappeared. the fact that I was shivering from the cold didn't help it either... bouncing around.. 0:25-0:40 show the annoying part. also note right at 1:29 when I zoom all the way out the annoying flare magically appears. Then at 2:15 I zoom in and it disappears again. Anyway, have a look for yourself
here's a short video showing zooming in and out of 14-42 & 45-175 panny x lenses......
Anybody know when on earth the 14-42x is coming out in US. It's still nowhere
I am sure it is present on ebay.
i live in the US and I got it off ebay for $488 shipped to my door...
In case anyone is wondering, when you put these lenses on an AF100 you can control the power zoom on the lenses with a standard zoom controller like the Varizoom when it's plugged into the S/S port on the back.
I haven't tried it myself, but read the fine print on this page. http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/af100/lens_compatibility.html
Hmmm... when the dust settles, 14-42X should be worth around $300.
It has 2 EDs and 4 aspherical elements. Ain't cheap to make it.
The minimum distortion at 25mm.
