@@mattisulanto @Robin Wong Guys, you sure know i am watching your videos for a while, and you might know i was considering M.Zuiko 12-100 for a while. I was line one week from purchasing one, when i went to shop to get some photo accessories, and by the way i asked what they have for Micro 4/3 format Second-hand and they had just one M1 Mark II body, M.Zuiko ED 9-18mm F4-5.6 and Lumix Vario 35-100 F2.8. I have taken a good look on the last lens Vario 35-100 F2.8, found out that its either damaged. The focusing was snapping fast, however a simple test shot of figurine revealed that the focus was off. At the same time i compared the shots wih M.Zuiko 12-100 F4. Lumix had surprisingly much better histogram, and M.Zuiko had perfectly working focus. So i visited the shop on the next day, and i re-tested newer model Vario 35-100 F2.8 (mark) II. It kept better histogram compared to M.Zuiko, but second Lumix Vario 35-100 had perfectly working focus. Now... my style of photography means that I walk a lot, with camera in my hand. Both bodies i use (Original M10 and M5 Mark III) are quite light, while my standard zoom M.Zuiko 12-40 F2.8 does not cause trouble for me. Lumix 35-100 F2.8 covers for me the "tele" focal range, but both lenses are almost equally heavy - 382 grams for 12-40, and 357 grams for 35-100. Both are almost equally large - 84 and 99 mm, and both are weather sealed. The size and the weight became for me the dealbreaker. M.Zuiko 12-100 weights almost 2x as any of these, its the largest so it would be a problem carry it for 6 hours straight. But to give an opinion on reviewed 35-100 F4-5,6... I would fit into my "compact" set which is M10 + M.Zuiko 14-42 Ez 3,5-5,6 "Pancake". It would still fit in the smallest bag i have, while keeping same focal range as my weather sealed large set.
Somebody can help? I have a Panasonic G7 with the standart 14-42 Kit Lense that comes with it. I want to buy one lense that doesn´t make me poor and is working for holiday photos. I basicly want one lense (as i now use the Kit one) for the whole holiday.. One which offers a great variety / zoom / to use nearly like a great point and shoot camera.. Can somebody help which lense could be the right for me? Thanks
i prefer my 14-140 any day over this lense its much more versatile because of the wide angle and it has the same 3.5-5-6. not as small as this one but small enough and very lightweight for what it does
Hi Matti! When I started watching this video I reached for my camera bag. Then I couldn't find my 35-100mm Lumix lens. I had to hold to camera bag in the light to be able to find it. It is small. LOL
I just bought this lens and it's mounted on my Olympus Pen F at the moment. It's surprisingly sharp and has good contrast. This is the type of lens that makes MFT attractive. Try finding a 70-200mm full frame lens that's this small and this good.
Thanks! I knew you'd like this lens. I have had it for a few years and still enjoy using it. I often use it on holiday in combination with the 12-32. They are both so tiny. I have the GX80 so I benefit from a small camera body and Dual IS. I know you said you don't feel it has character and I sort of understand. But you know, it takes sharp images even zoomed in to 100mm. The bokeh is nice enough for me. Thanks again for taking this lens for a spin, excellent video :-)
@@mattisulanto However I saw pictures with impressive bokeh, I mean much more than expected. Would you choose this one instead of the 45-150 or opposite? thanks!
Looks like a nice little zoom. I had a P45-175mm that was also small and tack sharp but I sold it since I had bought the 35-100 F2.8 ii. While its larger it's my favourite lens...other than my PL15mmf1.7.
Another honest and useful review from you. Thank you for that. I am also grateful for the photos you display. I always find them to be most tutorial in the art of composition.
Thanks for making this video. This is an underrated lens. I bought this one for my GM5. It just does what it's supposed to do and has never let me down.
I found a eBay deal for this lens and based on YOUR review I went for it! The lens came in today and still can't get over the size! I don't believe I have ever had a lens of this focal length that was so so small! I love it! I will write back when I have taken it out on a portrait session... Thanks for such a helpful review!
i agree completely . I have this lens . It makes a lot of sense on a older non ibis body like my G6 and its 14-42 mkII that shares the 46mm filter size . It is also good enough for a small modern body like my Gx9 . That said, even if sometimes it is nice to have such a tiny tele zoom lens , there are several small excellent primes within or close to the focal range that are a big reason to be in M43 like the 25mm f1.8, 1.7 and 1.4 , the 45mm f1.8 and 42.5mm f1.7 and the 60mm f2.8s . Still, at 100mm , it's a unique way of getting good results in a tiny package.
Hi Matti I don’t think that I have thanked you for pointing me in the direction of this gem of a lens. I was lucky to find one at a reasonable price and I am really impressed with the results coupled with an omd em10 mk2. It’s such a compact lens just what I’ve been searching for . Your videos are inspiring...hope to see you and Peter again soon here on one of your photo challenges.
I have this and the 35-100 2.8, and this little lens is actually a little longer at 100mm than the 2.8, so you can get a tighter frame with the little lens
I heard that this lens was sharper than the 45-150 that came with my kit. There is a small difference , but the AF motor seems worse. I'll probably bite the bullet and get the old 50-200 four thirds lens, big as it is.
Got this lens included in the double lens kit with the GX80 (or GX7 MkII as it's called in Japan which is where I bought it) for a total of about 600 USD in late 2018. Very nice lens and quite sharp, I use it for plane-spotting.
Hi Mr. Sulantro, thanks for your cool videos. I’m a new to photography and started with Lumix MFT. May I ask what is the most practical (small size, sharp and low light capable) tetelezoom lens which can be used for wildlife photography (say a subject 20 to 50 meters away). Thank you very much and good day!
Thanks! All the F2.8 or F4 Leica branded zooms are good, just pick the one that you like the best. To photograph a small animal at 50m you are going to need a long lens, but something like a deer should be ok with about 150-200mm.
Using this as a travel lens in addition to my GM1 and the 12-32 pancake (kit lens). I bought this lens with 99 euros as new one from some sales here in Finland a while ago (Rajala Shop) :-). Nice value for money I would say.
Thanks for the info. I am looking at one of these for sports. Photographing baseball players in Arizona, all fields are covered in nets or wire fences. The only way to get clear shots is to shoot through the holes in the net or fence but my long telephotos are too large to fit through there. I did get some good shots through some tiny gate openings, but I think this small lens would work on my G9 and do a good job.
I love this lens with my Olympus PenF. Together with a Lumix 15mm F:1,7 it is a killer combo for street photo that doesn't break your neck - or the bank. I was only considering the 2,8 version until I read all the positive comments about this (miniature 70-200mm) zoom. Glad I chose small over F:2,8
Thanks for the useful video. How does it compare to the 14-140? Not in terms of size but sharpness. It covers less length of course but do you gain in image quality across the 35-100 range over that one?
Seems like a decent shooter -- will look for discounts -- $395 is not bad though. I already have the 45-150mm, which looks good in the 45 to 100 range.
I can only reiterate what a cracking lens this is for the money. I managed to buy it new last year for just £120 and it performs well beyond what one might reasonably expect. Absolutely pin sharp at full aperture, producing really punchy images. Whilst not weather sealed, it is claimed by Panasonic to be splash proof, though I have never put this to the test. It is ridiculously compact, especially given the number of lens elements it contains, and is one of my favourite lenses for sure.
@@mattisulanto I have also used the GM1 with the Pana 45/2.8 Macro to take outstanding portraits. Just keep det camera in the palm and wait for the moment. It works.
@@mattisulanto People now a days, they don't know when to take the picture. They shoot hundreds of pictures and hope there is one, but we old school photographs, we still think its expensive to shoot pictures, så we wait for the moment. We know excactly when to take the picture and when we got it. I always use my cameraes manually, often also without AF. My favorite lens for portraits with my OMD is Nikon 105/2.5 with speedbooster. I also have speedbooster for my Zuiko lenses. I worked as a photojournalist for forty years ago. I then worked with the technic, not to se in the camera when I take pictures. I then used my OM 2 and 28/2.8 and learned not to miss a moment. I just follow the object with my eyes and wait for the moment.
Thank you for reviewing the potential of the less expensive lenses. Will this lens be good for landscape photography even though it does not have a constant fast aperture?
I think it would be great for landscapes, but I also think weather sealing is useful in any outdoor photography. If you mostly shoot in good weather, then I see no problem.
Hello Matti...i want to buy a telephoto lens, and get some bokeh effect ocasionally for portrait with good sharpness if its possible...wich one would you choose between these two options in your experience: a)35-100mm f4-5.6 with mega ois b)45-200mm f4-5.6 (versión I) with mega ois My camera is a lumix G7.
I have not used the 45-200mm and can't comment on that. However, I think in real life both lenses give you good results, if used properly. The 35-100mm is really tiny, if that means anything to you.
@@dennypilot9856 1. If you don't like superzooms like 14-140mm. 2. You have a 25mm prime, but nothing else. 3. You have the 12-32mm and you want something longer. 4. You want a really super compact tele zoom. 5. You have the 15mm F1.7, but nothing else. 6. You have the 12-60mm and you want a super tiny tele zoom. You see there are many reasons and we all don't want the same.
Hi can i use this lens with an Olympus Pen E-PL10 camera please? I wanted something with a bit better zoom than the pancake kit lens that came with the Pen 10 but small like this one. Also i am no good at mm so how far would you say id be able to zoom? Like a camera with a lens attached has like 20x zoom or 30x zoom etc?
@@mattisulanto I cannot buy the camera on Amazon without the kit lens, so yes I suppose it would be a second lens. Although with having a bit of a hand shake I would rather not have to keep changing lens. I would rather just leave the lens on if it would be enough for all I want to do ie distance, close up, birds, night shots, video etc etc.
@@AndriaMrs I think you could be better off with something like 14-150mm lens or something similar, if you'd like to keep the same lens on the camera all the time.
@@mattisulanto Ah ok thanks. I had that one and had to return it as it made the camera too big and awkward for me to hold and carry. I think I am out of options and ideas now then. And to be honest I am a bit worn out with all this 2 months of trying to find the right camera for me. If I could go to a shop to see and try that would be great, but being in the extremely vulnerable group I just have to research and buy online. Thank you so so much though for all your help, advice and patience. Stay safe.

Also i am no good at mm so how far would you say id be able to zoom? Like a camera with a lens attached has like 20x zoom or 30x zoom etc?
Would you like to replace the kit lens that came with your camera or would you like a second lens to compliment the kit lens?
@@mattisulanto I cannot buy the camera on Amazon without the kit lens, so yes I suppose it would be a second lens. Although with having a bit of a hand shake I would rather not have to keep changing lens. I would rather just leave the lens on if it would be enough for all I want to do ie distance, close up, birds, night shots, video etc etc.
@@AndriaMrs I think you could be better off with something like 14-150mm lens or something similar, if you'd like to keep the same lens on the camera all the time.
@@mattisulanto Ah ok thanks. I had that one and had to return it as it made the camera too big and awkward for me to hold and carry. I think I am out of options and ideas now then. And to be honest I am a bit worn out with all this 2 months of trying to find the right camera for me. If I could go to a shop to see and try that would be great, but being in the extremely vulnerable group I just have to research and buy online. Thank you so so much though for all your help, advice and patience. Stay safe.
@@AndriaMrs Well, you can't have everything😀 This 35-100mm would be great, but then you have to change lenses.
can we put on gh5 ?
If it's a Lumix GH5, yes.
