What these focal lengths actually give you on the Panasonic Lumix GH7
The Panasonic Lumix GH7 has a Micro Four Thirds sensor, so it sees a 2× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 2× tighter than its marked number. That works in your favour here: the OM System M.Zuiko 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS reaches 1200mm of effective reach, which on a full-frame body would need a longer, heavier and far more expensive lens.
| Lens | Marked | Frames like, on the Panasonic Lumix GH7 |
|---|---|---|
| OM System M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO | 40-150mm | 80–300mm |
| Panasonic Leica DG 50-200mm f/2.8-4 | 50-200mm | 100–400mm |
| Panasonic Leica DG 100-400mm II | 100-400mm | 200–800mm |
| OM System M.Zuiko 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS | 150-600mm | 300–1200mm |
