## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this compatible with lumix gh4?**
A: Hello, as far as I know they are compatible. But please keep in mind that Lumix cameras do not have a built in Image Stabilizer in the body, they rely in the IS in the Lumix lens. Since Olympus camera have the IS in the body, they din't need it in the lens. Lumix camera with Olympus lens means no IS. I am not a pro. but this is what I read on various form when learning about Lumix and Olympus.

**Q: Is this compatible with Oylympus E-410 ?**
A: No, I don't think so as this lens is for Micro 3/4 and E410 is compatible with 3/4 systems only.  A M3/4 body can use a 3/4 lens via an adapter but not vice versa

**Q: Is this the same lens that came with my OMD (14-42 kit lens)?**
A: Hi. No that lens would be called 14-42mm EZ Lens. This item I have shown is 14-42mm II R. Hope this helped.

**Q: How would this work with the black magic pocket cinema camera? I've heard it doesn't work even though it's a micro 4/3 mount?**
A: I googled and did not find such negative comments. I actually found one page that someone sold the camera with this lens together: http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?9281-Blackmagic-Pocket-Cinema-Camera-Olympus-14-42-amp-canon-9-5-143-f1-8-B4-lens.

Full disclosure, I'm not a professional. I love my camera, I love shooting video, and I am really enjoying this lens, but consider a grain of salt if you're a working professional shooting every day and looking for a review to stake part of your livelihood on. That said, I'll speak from the heart/wallet. This lens was a replacement for me of a much cheaper lens of similar specs, albeit at a shorter maximum focal length. But even more than the long zoom, the first thing that struck me right out of the box is that this lens feels solid and built to last. I haven't done a definitive test of focal qualities, but in casual use I've found that the focus is consistent from the widest to tightest focal length. That is, I haven't had to refocus going from a wide shot to tight, which I understand to be the case in higher-quality lenses. I have not observed any softness at maximum zoom, personally. So my one critique of this lens - and I'm reluctant to even call it a critique, as it feels like a reasonable break-in step to me - is that the action on the zoom was a little sticky at first. Turning the zoom ring by hand, it required significantly higher effort around the mid-zoom mark - just enough that doing a smooth zoom, as one might want in certain film genres, wasn't possible. BY NO MEANS was it so difficult I felt I'd endanger the lens; definitely not a manufacture issue, nothing jammed or anything like that. My focus motor also had trouble with it, for what it's worth; I use a Ronin S2 gimbal and its accessory focus motor when I'm shooting video, and here I repurposed the focus motor for zoom, attempting some genre-specific camera work. The motor calibration got hung up on the sticky spot, and once I overcame that, the actual zoom motion was still sticky and inhibited. I looked into this and several professionals' websites recommended both "breaking it in" and lubricating it properly (which requires not only lens-specific lube, but the right lube for the particular lens manufacturer, and frankly, I'm cheap) so I started with breaking it in. Just kept the lens on my desk for a couple days, and during free moments I'd twist the zoom ring back and forth through its extents, for a few minutes at a time. I probably spent less than 30 minutes total on this before the action became considerably smoother - a truly minor investment for smooth-zooming action. Having done this, I'm confident I can snap-zoom by hand and slow-zoom with the focus motor when I want to. In short, I'm happy with this lens. It'll fit a different role in your kit, I'm sure, but it's my first zoom and the versatility of it, after using nothing but primes, is fantastic.
