First time I've seen it on a site and with a PRICE

"http://www.jr.com/panasonic/pe/PAN_7_hy_14MM/"

1100 bucks !!!:Drogar-Dum(DBG):

I know lenses are expensive but it's a 4.0

Nikon makes a reputable lens similarly it's cheaper than that at 2.8

I guess cuz' it's a zoom, but still...LOL.
 
Whooo. That's a dear price for a 4.0 lens. I think I'm going to learn to autofocus and stick with cheapie adapted primes.

Yeah f that.

Granted 2.8 fisheye zooms aren't a common occurrance...still. Then again this camera is probably going to have the opposite effect of common DSLRs - wide angles pricey since the sensor is smaller 7mm and a zoom is quite a feat, whereas telephoto lenses can be had on the cheap compared to the bigger sensor cameras. Hell, 80 dollar 50mm prime lens is telephoto for the GH1.
 
Good point. I think I'm really going to look for a 20 to 30 mm prime that's fast. Need one fast "normal view" lens.
 
Does anyone have alternative ideas to the Panny 7-14mm for a wide zoom? I was considering buying the 7-14 but then I noticed there's no thread for filters on the front of the lens. This means I'd need to attach a matte box for ND filters or a polarizer, which kind of eliminates the ability to shoot "low-profile" or run and gun. Ideas?
 
im really tempted to move on this. with my NBC discount its listed on Panny's site as
$709.74. but it says "not available direct from panasonic", so i dont know how this works.
guess iv gotta give pannasonics steller customer service a call again :Drogar-KnockedOut(D
 
I have an NBC discount as well. And the price is right for the 7-14. But yes, it says "not available from Panasonic Direct".
