My first choice would be the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/8 ... Vario.html
IS is something you should consider with any lens purchase for this camera, But older lenses without any IS are great also, Then maybe the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 Aspheric G- Series Lens for it's speed http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/6 ... heric.html

After that it's all about doing your research, I'm not that versed in 4/3 Lenses, I'm sure there are other forum members here who would qualify as experts on the subject.

Good luck!

Like I said you need to do some research or wait for other more experienced m4/3 lens users to reply,

But a simple google image search for the Lumix 20mm f/1.7 yielded these results, And they sure look good to me.,

Yeah that's the ticket Rjdubb, I must be tired since I forgot about the SLR Magic, and the Voigtlander lenses.

Hi guys,

I've compiled that pocket lens list, my idea is to able to cross reference the lens with the videos. At the moment is a bit difficult with the pocket since there are only a couple of videos but you will get the idea if you press the button "video" on the right side where it appears.

You can also find the weight and photos of the camera with the lenses attached, which could also help in the decision.

I've just finished compiling a first draft for the bmcc 2.5k lenses:

Still a lot to add, but on this list you can easily cross reference the lenses with the videos ;)

Best,
Cris

That's a fine job you've been doing Cris!
When the 4k and pocket camera should begin to ship, your website is still gonna be in my regular checking to finally choose the one suited for me. Since it's encyclopedic-like informative (with videos and it's cross reference) approach over BMD's cameras. Congrats on that! Cheers,
