Hello, I have a Lumix Panasonic dmc G3 camera since 2012 with a 14-42 lens. I would like to complete it with a telephoto lens but I hesitate between the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300 and the Panasonic 45-200. Will these 2 lenses fit on the G3? If so, which one would you recommend for taking wildlife or landscape photos in the distance? If anyone can advise me, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks in advance!
I bought the 100-300 in addition to the 14-140 that came with my GX8. This covered the whole range of focal lengths. The 100-300 is good for my intended use with the compromise of investment and performance. the 100-400 would be better but 3x more expensive. in this case already have a 14-42 I would opt for the 45-200. Consider if brightness is an important criterion. for "general public" wildlife photography one chooses good weather, backlighting and sound effects for the pros who choose the more powerful 100-400 versions or even more. for a very reasonable price of about 350, the 45-200 will be a good "passe-partout".
