A Hidden Gem - Panasonic 35-100mm f4-5.6

[Originally posted on 11/30/2018]

Just to quickly drop couple of lines for this lens, in case you can still get a good deal in cyber Monday week. The lens is for m43 (micro four-third) system.

The picture was taken by Panasonic 35-100mm f4-5.6 (NOT f2.8 one) at 1/13 sec. The focus was set on the name plate of my Hasselblad 503C/M. The in-lens-anti-shake goes so well with GX85’s in-body stabilization mechanism. Check out the sharpness of the picture and you will be amazed by this little cute lens. The lens is normally overlooked not because of its performance but the price ($397) but every now and then Panasonic gives a $150 discount so you see it currently is on sale at $247 during black Friday/Cyber Monday season. I was lucky to get mine at $150 because I don’t care about the color (got a silver one). With the even tinier 12-32mm lens, the two-lens kit will be your ultimate travel companion.
