Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 Asph OIS Lens Review

Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 Verdict

With Panasonic and Olympus both releasing Micro Four Thirds system cameras with professional aspirations, it's no surprise that the lenses available should catch up.

Panasonic's 35-100mm is a fine lens that is priced reasonably, especially when compared to lenses covering the same angles of view for 35mm format, with the added bonus of being much more compact, and lightweight.

Although the price may put this lens beyond the reach of your average amateur snapper, they are not the intended market for a lens like this.
 
  The Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 lens is compact, lightweight and offers excellent performance.
