Christopher -- that's fantastic work. Thanks a lot, now I'm considering that slider again . . . :)

I love the 14-42. You certainly made great use of it!

Ah - I was using the 14-140mm - no experience with the 14-42! I bet the latter is a much faster lens, yes?

The Panasonic lenses are great IMO - with 'CAC' as well, they deliver a super sharp image. Faster would be nicer, naturally, but with such a great range, it's great value. Body-only would be great, but the lens really helps make the package in my opinion. How does that 14-42 fare?

It's not that much faster -- 3.5-5.6. Great outdoor lenses!

I just put my 14-42 up for sale, but I do love the lens, it is SO sharp in good light. Because of the 14-42 I ordered the 12mm Zuiko, which while not a zoom, will be so handy for weddings.

I was able to try the 14-42 out at a wedding last night and I loved it. We were surrounded by windows on top floor of hotel, it was extremely bright, and the lens was amazing, if focused so fast!

As soon as the sun went down I was screwed, lens was no good, even with on camera lighting. But for that short while it was amazing.

Actually, I just realized I should keep the lens for outdoor use! I can only get around $125 for it anway, it's worth that much just to have as a spare!

That sounds like a great lens. I'm really glad that Micro4/3rds exists - I look forward to the many lenses to come!

Here's another video I shot with the stock lens (all but the first shot which was shot a few years back with an Canon HV20 and a Brevis adapter and a Tokina zoom lens) - all interior shots and last exterior shot are with the GH1 and the 14-140mm!

Nice stuff again Christopher, gorgeous moving shots.

I would love to see other's GH2 and GH1 professional footage posted here.. the camera is really really making a name for itself! I felt we were a small bunch, the GH1 users, but with the GH2, these cameras are really pushing it.. great work everyone! And Panasonic, thank you, thank you!

I've got two new projects - shot at the same time - to share! What an incredible camera, it really was pushed to it's max (note the interior shots with open windows in the frame, with the foreground lit and the outside not fully blown out and still visible) and delivered!

All the shots here (other than the stills) are GH1 (hacked) shooting AVCHD at 60P (in a 24P timeline). The footage was converted to ProRes 422 edited in FCP7:

The Lumix GH series.. what a camera. I'm so impressed, that even with 2012 approaching, I'm still not seeing a 'better-enough' camera to compel me to upgrade! What pro-GH-camera sourced footage have you seen that you can share here..!

Christopher, I do not post my work much, for several reasons, but will post something out of fairness to others, such as you, that do. I have shot many weddings with the GH2s and GH1s, but am pretty much not pleased with most of my efforts. I have many weddings not yet edited that promise to give me some great samples, but as of now, what I post to Vimeo are sneak peeks for the couples themselves. Anyway, here's a video shot exclusively with the Olympus 12-60mm, which is without question my favorite outdoor lens.

Hey, thanks for sharing that Jeff! Do you have a new reel montage (or one coming) of GH1 footage you've shot? :)

Christopher, I do not, but I should. I am currently working on a wedding and am planning to create something to post on Vimeo in a day or two. What is funny is that my videos on my sites are all between 2 and 6 years old, and the business keeps rolling in. I am so overwhelmed with current work I don't know how to keep up. I have three weddings Saturday for example.

For next year, now that I'm getting close to finding a consistency in my product, I will be raising prices to cut down on the number of weddings. I currently have about 15 weddings to edit, its all too much.

I love the 14 - 42 lens. With my arsenal of lenses I have been building up it is one of my favorites. Outdoors it is just so much fun to work with. Autofocus is great and it has just enough range to help frame shots. If I have enough light I would choose it over the 20mm pancake anyday.

I loved my 14-42 also, for about 1 week, then I sold it. It is nice outdoors. For it's size and cost it is very nice, but even outdoors it doesn't hold up to my others. If I was strictly a casual shooter, I would have kept it, but unfortunately my lenses must be able to utilized indoors, otherwise I'd have to carry too many lenses.

I truly wanted to keep the 14-42, it came almost free with my silver GH2, but I couldn't afford to. It is unfortunate that while I do like my work, much of the fun is gone, particularly during the wedding season. There are so many things I'd like to do photography wise, and I have the gear to play around with, but not the time to play. When I shoot couples in the park it's the closest I come to fun, casual shooting. Here I go, complaining again.
