Question

Panasonic Leica 14-50mm Vario-Elmarit AutoFocusLumixGX-7Body

Jan 15, 2015 12:46AM PST

Howdy:
I have read on numerous sites that my recently purchased Panny 4/3rds Leica 14-50mm Vario-Elmarit zoom will autofocus albeit slowly on Panny micro4/3rd bodies. However, no site links this lens with the Lumix GX-7 body. I have found that the contrast detection autofocus of the GX-7 does not at all operate with this lens which was designed for phase detection focusing. So it looks so far as if the focusing game will be manual-only.

Does anyone have any info/experience with this specific 4/3rds lens on the Lumix micro4/3rds GX-7 body? In other respects, the lens is dynamite, esp. sharpness.
