Snap it with a Panasonic

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 is the 2013 10x. On Micro Four Thirds that is 28-280mm. Code H-FS14140. POWER O.I.S. About 265 grams. 58mm filter.

Yahoo just writes 14-140. Plenty of those lots are the old f/4-5.8 HD, 460 grams. Others are the 2019 II, code H-FSA14140. I wait for a photo of the H-FS14140 stamp.

I paid ¥12,800. Proxy, EMS, GST, DHL processing. Packed with a body it landed about $185. A local copy with zoom creep wanted $349.

Fungus likes the rear group. I torch both ends. If they only shot the box, I skip it.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 came out in 2013. Panasonic put Wi-Fi on a stills body that already had an OLED EVF. Same Micro Four Thirds mount as the G5. I import these as stills cameras.

The G5 already had the finder. On the G6 I pull JPEGs to the phone when I have left the card reader behind. I still take the photograph looking through the eyepiece. The mount is the same.

Yahoo treats Wi-Fi like a personality. One seller leads with 1080p AVCHD and camcorder. The next writes NFC, 2013 gadget, and never shows a still. I opened both this year. Same G bayonet. I use it for stills.

I stood on a footpath last month with a G6. I took the photograph. Later I dumped the files over Wi-Fi because the card reader was in the other bag. The AVCHD line on the listing did not change the walk.

I bid ¥12,800 on a Japan body. That looks like $115. Proxy, EMS, 10% GST, DHL processing. Landed around $255. A local copy wanted $449 and sold the Wi-Fi.

I torch the EVF and fold the hinge out in the shots. A dead 2013 finder here costs more than the camera. Battery is a DMW-BLC12. Original cells sag. I price a new one in AUD before I bid.

ジャンク stays in Osaka.

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 is a long plastic zoom. On Micro Four Thirds that is 200-600mm. Code H-FS100300. MEGA O.I.S. About 520 grams. 67mm filter.

Yahoo just writes 100-300. Plenty of those lots are the II, code H-FSA100300. Others are the Olympus 75-300. I wait for a photo of the H-FS100300 stamp.

I paid ¥9,800. Proxy, EMS, GST, DHL processing. Packed with a body it landed about $165. A local copy with a rattly zoom wanted $299.

Fungus likes the rear group. I torch both ends. If they only shot the box, I skip it.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 came out in 2012. Panasonic followed the G3 with an OLED EVF. Same Micro Four Thirds mount. The grip is larger than the G3. I import these as stills cameras.

The G3 finder was an LCD panel. Fine in shade, a bit mushy at noon. The G5 finder is OLED. I still look through it. The mount is the same.

Yahoo cannot leave OLED alone. One seller leads with 1080p AVCHD and camcorder. The next writes OLED, 2012 gadget, and never shows an eye at the eyepiece. I opened both this year. Same G bayonet. I use it for stills.

I stood in a car park last month with a G5 in harsh sun. The finder stayed readable. I took the photograph. Later I folded the LCD over a fence. The AVCHD line on the listing did not change the walk.

I bid ¥11,400 on a Japan body. That looks like $116. Proxy, EMS, 10% GST, DHL processing. Landed around $270. A local copy wanted $429 and sold the OLED.

I torch the EVF and fold the hinge out in the shots. A dead 2012 finder here costs more than the camera. Battery is a DMW-BLC12. Original cells sag. I price a new one in AUD before I bid.

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/4-5.6 is a collapsing tele. On Micro Four Thirds that is 70-200mm. Code H-FS35100. MEGA O.I.S. About 135 grams.

Yahoo just writes 35-100. Plenty of those lots are the G X f/2.8, code H-HS35100. I wait for a photo of the H-FS35100 stamp, collapsed.

I paid ¥5,600. Proxy, EMS, GST, DHL processing. Packed with a body it landed about $95. A local copy with zoom creep wanted $159.

Fungus likes the rear group. I torch both ends. If they only shot the box, I skip it.

The Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 is a 30mm-equivalent on Micro Four Thirds. Code H-X015. It has a metal barrel and an aperture ring.

Yahoo just writes 15mm. Half of those lots are the 14mm pancake. I wait for a photo of the H-X015 stamp, and a shot of the ring, not the box.

I paid ¥41,800. Proxy, EMS, GST, DHL processing. Packed with a body it landed about $510. A local copy wanted $749 and the ring was stiff.

I watch the listing video. If the ring does not click through to A, I don't bid.
