What is the panasonic lumix g x pz 45 175mm f 4 5 6 good for?

The Panasonic Lumix G X PZ 45-175mm f/4-5.6 is a telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds cameras. On that sensor it frames roughly like 90-350mm on full frame, so it suits distant subjects such as wildlife, sport, birds, or a school play seen from the back of the hall. It's stabilised and autofocuses, which helps when you're shooting handheld at the long end.

The trade-off is light. At f/4-5.6 it gets darker as you zoom in, so it's best in daylight or well-lit scenes, and you'll get less background blur than with a faster lens. For why aperture matters, see Lenses. For the crop maths behind that reach, see Sensor sizes.

For an everyday body to pair it with, the OM System OM-5 Mark II is a sensible choice. If you shoot faster, more demanding subjects, the OM System OM-1 Mark II is the one to look at.
