Olympus 12-40 Lens

This is my go to lens for M43 video shooting on a tripod.

Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 v2

This is the update to the popular Panny 12-35. When paired with the GH5, you get DUAL stabilization (the IBIS & lens do double duty). This is a dream with the GH5 for handheld video shooting (no walking, just standing)

Panasonic 7-14mm f/4.0

For your MFT Camera, this is the best wide angle lens you can get, even better and sharper than the Oly 9-18. Very hard to find right now, this should be your wide angle solution and your 4th or 5th lens for MTF.

Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8

This should be your first lens for the Panasonic GH4. The 12-35mm 2.8 lens becomes a 24-70mm 2.8 lens with the MFT mount. At a mere fraction of the weight of its DSLR equivalent, it packs a powerful punch in terms of versatility for both video and stills shooters. Comes with Panasonic’s version of Image stabilization.

If you will own a GH4, this is where you start lens wise. I cannot recommend it higher.

Panasonic 35-100 f/2.8

The equivalent of a 70-200mm 2.8, this is your go to mid range zoom for your GH4. Great for portraits, event shooting, some sports and the like. For the size and weight comparison to the DLSR version, you seriously will be amazed at how small and light it is in your camera bag.

In my opinion, this should be your 3rd lens for your GH4.
