Panasonic H-FS45150AK-CR Lumix G Vario Lens, F4.0-5.6 ASPH, Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds, Mega Optical I.S, (Black) (Certified Refurbished), 45-150MM

Hi my name is Thomas; Glad to write a review for this lens! It’s super important to my work and has become my real goto for getting the shots I am after. I use this a lot for taking sports photos mostly Cricket 🏏 and it’s really good to have. As you know larger DSLR cameras can be eye catching; let me just say this.. I am also a cricketer but I am the Teams Media/ Public Affairs Officer and this is by far the best lens I have used in the lineup; sure their are others I would like but.. I love this lens because It’s not weight wise much more then my iPhone 11Pm honestly and its tack sharp! Now ~ let me say this I have been around est the 35mm film days (30+) years ~ I have seen heavy clunky lens’s but this is amazing it’s small it’s powerful and weight is next to nothing! Let’s talk speed in terms of the focus and then light; clearly I use it for sports and player reaction and candid shots- it’s amazing at crisp images! But in terms of street and wildlife aww YO this lens is powerful!! It can grab your target about as fast as u can! And it’s not too bad when the light levels are low.. Some lenses really have a hard time and will search zooming in and out like crazy!! Not cool if your in the middle of the road taking a picture! Noir is it fun to be waiting on a wild bird to venture into your view to have a soft focus or worse lost shot.. Right!! Not an issue here!! I have even used it storm chasing capturing lightning! I also have used it to capture many planes both in the air and around base, and local airports.. This lens allows you to really just look and find and capturing your photos as u wish it!! No hassle my Pro DSLR lenses are good but bulky and catch attention this is - Amazing! I have used this lens in every aspect of my work; it’s great to have a goto maybe it will be yours too!Honestly it’s my goto; it’s robust and for the money hands down it’s paid for itself many many times over!! O and I have also used it for Astro photography just to see if it could handle it and it indeed does a good job; especially for the moon and it’s amazing as a video lens even in dim restaurants! Again it’s impressive it’s lite and the targeting spot on fast! Highly addictive highly recommended!!

This is the lighter, lower cost equivalent of the "pro"version of a Panasonic Lumix lens. It's body is plastic making it very light and the perfect walking around lens. TheNEW version of this lens is twice the price of this one (REFURB). There is no evidence that I can find that suggests this is refurbed, the packaging, instructions etc., look new. It is a fine lens given the expectations.

I just received this lens; auto focus and iris appear to work fine on my BMPCC. I don't see any issues with the lens so far. Appears to be a good deal so far.

This lens offers incredible optical performance for the size and cost. The stabilization is very effective and color and contrast are very good. The only negative is the slow maximum aperture but the stabilization system helps mitigate this. As a daytime walk around or travel lens, the 12-60 f/3.5-5.6 is hard to beat. Add a GM5 or GX9 and you have an excellent travel kit.

If you're looking for inexpensive not a real fast lens this is a good one to get for the price and as you can see it does use a 52 mm filter which I wish they would put in the specs so you don't have to ask Google or find out after it's been delivered.Focal Length: 45-150mm (35mm Equivalent Focal 90-300mm)Image Stabilization: YesFilter Size: 52 mm (Front)Dimensions (ø x L) 2.44 x 2.87" / 62 x 73 mmWeight 7.05 oz / 200 g

Lens works fine, can't expect much for the price and it will suit my needs.Packaging was bad, no original documentation, box or lens pouch and it was just tossed in a box with no bubble wrap or packaging and then that box was inside of a mailing box with some crumpled paper.I was expecting better from a 'like new' purchase.

One of my favorites lens! Great quality!

Purchased this renewed and lens looks like new. It's only the box that it was delivered in that looks used. Initially had some trouble with the lens hood. The decoration lens was secured very well, but once I got that off the lens hood fit on nicely.
