The lens is very small, but plastic apparently not strong enough, the front part felt off. I put it back and can still shoot but was thinking almost half a year which replacement to buy.<br /><br />As the 14-42 has more metal parts, hope I will have more luck. That said, I love the size of those zoom, finally a camera I can carry on everywhere.<br /><br />You made my day, can finally pass the order and start shooting again.HPOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930630147458179607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085078028290026872.post-78785591817777514982019-05-27T02:44:39.733+02:002019-05-27T02:44:39.733+02:00Thanks for your kind words Hebim.

I am more into stills so I can't say much more and I sold my PZ a long time back. Sorry I can't help more.

Maybe even selling the 12-32 to compensate the money, but I'm still thinking if it's worthy.<br />I'm disappointed that you can't turn on the Dual I.S. on the GX80 with the PZ... is that it right?<br />And what about focusing with it? Is it smooth, fast? Can you do some focus pulls or racks while shooting video with it?<br />Anyway, thank you again!<br />Hebimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728694415431344686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085078028290026872.post-25251004988846833352019-04-28T09:21:24.570+02:002019-04-28T09:21:24.570+02:00I didn't know there were two versions of the P...I didn't know there were two versions of the PZ, how can you tell them apart? <br />Thanks for your comments, I am glad if I have helped.
