Good to know thanks, It's not that the lens is particularly slow but it just searches and finds nothing to focus on over and over again, my gx1 and even my phone have no problems in the same situation.

Hey guys, I know this is an old thread but I'm looking to get my first dslr after using a lumix gx1 (great little machine) for about a year. I was looking at the canon 70d and suddenly I found the k-5iis and the k-3 which offer great value for money in comparison, however I have used my...

Thanks for all the help, so many options... I think I might get the 25mm and the 14-140mm lenses and if I find myself rarely using the zoom lens I might sell them both for the voigtlander. So glad I found such a helpful forum thanks guys.

Thanks for that, I'll stick with my gx1 then . and yes while they do have a good variety of lenses for mft there aren't many different price points whereas in the DSLR market there seems to b a cheap, average, and expensive version of each lens. Thanks guys, so helpful, whilst we're here do...

Thanks for the quick reply. So you don't think I'll need the zoom of the 14-140mm lens if I don't have another camera? I was only looking at the pancake lens to make it easier to carry round, so maybe I can find a small 20mm lens. Also as much as I'd love it I don't think I can justify the...

Hi all first time for me, So I bought a lumix gx1 this summer super cheap and I've loved taking photos with it, at the moment I have the original 14-42mm lens it came with but I'm looking to go travelling next year and was wandering what sort of lens I should take, I'm backpacking so would...
