For the 12mm I've got the lens at 130g then a Tiffen UV filter for lens protection primarily(and of course weight)@13g, than the vented hood@12g for a total of 155g which is the sweet spot for that lens. With this set up it leaves you prepared for many other filters as you just trade out the uv for what ever you need for the conditions. If you want a filter that will work in the majority of lighting situations grab the Sigma circular polarized nd type filter which just happens to be 13g.Awesome let me know what you find regarding the slight shake in the camera and if it is still present.
Tip for UK users, put x2 £1 coins and a 20 pence piece on (weight about 23-25g) the 45mm for a quick and dirty fix of getting rid of the micro vibrations.
Its not perfect, but MANY times better than running it without. Ideally someone has a proper solution/ring but this is a quick and dirty solution if you want to gt video.
I was quite amazed how big a zoom it is, its massive. I was 200 meters away from a subject the other day and I had to fly back further to get it all in view.
This lens has its uses, would make an awesome mid air security camera for anyone in security.
Cool, can you link me to the EXACT items so I can order them please. ThanksWith a <plastic> hood and Hoya UV filter (or ND) it balances perfectly (inc. horizontal) without adding to the overall value of the kit.

Put them on the top front of the lens in the middle. I just checked and its actually 2 one pound coins and a five pence coin.Where do you put the coins on and how?
Velcro dots may help....Put them on the top front of the lens in the middle. I just checked and its actually 2 one pound coins and a five pence coin.
Hey Guys, I also have my 45 mm with shaking / jello effect. Has anyone that have had this issues and have resolve it have a definite answer?! I would really appreciated. Thanks
Thanks I will try this out, Question, if the lens was bought after 2017, would it ship with the 1.2 firmware?I had the same issue on my Inspire 1 when using the 45mm, then I found out I had to update the lens from 1.1 to 1.2. The new firmware helped:
- Stability of lens aperture when shooting videos has been improved.
Here is the link to the FW:
OLYMPUS Lenses firm update for Panasonic camera body
In order to do the fw update, you'll need an Olympus or Panasonic body. Make sure to balance the lens correctly, it was a real PITA when I did it. but was worth it...Good luck!
