I ordered the GF3X kit earlier this week from Panasonic. I only want the lens and will be selling the body. Panasonic pulled a Sony on this one! The lens came attached to the body with no body cap or rear lens cap in the box. Annoying but a heads up for anyone else expecting to sell the GF3 body. I thought I had extra body caps but looks like I'm going to need to sacrifice the one from my G3 and order some more.
The 14-42x is small but to be honest it isn't quite as small as I expected. I guess I had illusions that it would be like the 20mm lens but it feels bulkier than that lens. No worries it It is still excellent on the G3 and a great size.
The motor on the lens seem so silent and the zoom is very smooth. It is MUCH, MUCH smoother than I could ever zoom the lens so those who want to zoom in video should be very happy. I wasn't sure if I would like a power zoom after being used to so many other zooms and I will say using it feels pretty natural. Nice surprise.
I will go out and shoot with it this weekend and post some samples.
Side note the GF3 feels really solidly very well built. Don't want to turn it on as I'm selling it as new....but it is tempting...but not that tempting as I've also got an 5N and then a NEX7 on order
