Does anyone know if this lens will work with pocket 4k

PostThu Apr 25, 2019 1:46 pm

PANASONIC LUMIX G VARIO LENS, 12-60MM, F3.5-5.6 ASPH., MIRRORLESS MICRO FOUR THIRDS, POWER OPTICAL I.S., H-HS12060

The MFT part I'm sure is fine but with the OIS work? Looking for some kind of in lens stabilization.

Any help?

The lens should work, that said, not the best choice out their for the Pocket Camera. This is a still camera designed lens, not video, and while IS works, is not tuned for video shooting, like the Lumix G and Panna Leica DG Primes and zooms. That said, the Olympus Pro Zooms and Prime lenses seem to work best with the new Pocket 4K. See: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=72506

Thanks! I'll check them out. Trying to find something a little lighter than my sigma and also has image stabilization. I'm using a ronin S and it's good but I think a lens with built in correction would really smooth it out.

Look at the Lumix G 12-35 f/2.8, nice small lens, has IS and was a favorite on the original Pocket Camera.

Edit: Corrected the typo :roll:
