Would this be suitable for real estate photos ...

Would this be suitable for real estate photos mounted on a GH5?
Asked by: Barry
Absolutely, yes I would use this lens for interior and exterior shots. Gorgeous images from wide field of view with zero edge distortion and zero CA. I prefer the 8-18mm over the 12-35mm lens as it has just that much more wideness for those tight shots as well as the zoom. Certainly worth the investment. I believe you will enjoy the image quality. Great all-purpose lens.

How good for video is this lens when mounted on GH5 and walking ?
Asked by: Adam
If you're using this with the GH5's IBIS or with a gimbal/stabilizer, or both (best case scenario), you should not have much trouble. The effects of walking with a wide angle-of-view tends to be less severe, so you should be fine! :)

question

May I mount it with all full functions in an Olympus OM-D EM-1 MII?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, I use it with an Olympus E-M1ii. It works very well. There is none of the purple ghosting that used to happen with the older Panasonic 7-14 on Olympus bodies. AF is fast and accurate and all the functions on the lens work as expected. It's an excellent lens!
