P4k: Native M43 lens compatibility chart

PostMon Oct 15, 2018 3:26 pm

I've added a tab to my LP-E6 sheet to also track native lens compatibility as early user reports indicate some lenses may or may not focus or engage image stabilization.

Joe, I would only add a lens as working or not, until you get two confined working or two or more confirmations that the lens does not work. This will rule out any possible camera issues or user problem.
BTW grand idea :!:
Cheers

It’s like product reviews where you wait until you have a few independent reviews so that a troll doesn’t have a chance of spreading false reports. Good idea, Denny.

You can add Panasonic Summilux 15mm to the suspected not functioning list (ticket is currently open with BMD). If anyone else has tested this lens, I’d love to hear from you.

Why don't you check your own thread? I already posted 4 days ago, that it works 100% fine!

Thanks just saw that after I posted this. It’s either my specific lens or camera.
