Hi,
There are four lens's that you can choose from for the Lumix G camera, two of them very expensive and two of them not so expensive.


Have a look at these lens's for an idea >>>>>>>>>>>>

I am looking for a 14-200 lense for my lumix g1

You won't find one with that focal range as it's never been made. A lens with such a range will have far too many optical compromises and will be bulky and heavy, so it's unlikely to ever be made without a major change in materials technology. In 35mm terms, you're after an equivalent 28-400mm lens, and no manufacturer has ever come anywhere close to achieving that on any SLR system. In APS-C terms the equivalent would be an approximate 18-250mm which has been achieved by Tamron/Sigma, but the lens has to be used at modest apertures to achieve acceptable sharpness and exhibits very obvious barrel distortion at the wide angle end and pincushioning at the telephoto end. It's a lens which makes no sense at all as there are better performing digital bridge cameras which are smaller and lighter which can produce an overall similar image quality.

You can only achieve the focal angle you're after by using two micro four thirds zoom lenses or via two regular four thirds models with a four thirds to micro four thirds adaptor. Using micro four thirds models only, you could do this using the 14-45mm and 45-200mm lenses, both by Panasonic.

At the present time, the closest single micro four thirds lenses to what you want are the Olympus 14-150mm and the Panasonic 45-200mm. The first lens has a wide angle to medium telephoto capability, the second has a short telephoto to long telephoto capability.

I suggest that you click here to look at the micro four thirds joint catalog to see what's available.

Sorry you won't find precisely what you want, but I hope that my reply has saved you wasting further time in searching. Please take a moment to rate my answer.

I cant read Lumix G1 RAW files with photoshop cs3

It's possible that Photoshop hasn't issued a plug-in for your camera. Check with them. Didn't you get some software with the camera to read the raw files?

Lens

You have a 55mm filter size on your camera, and the accessory lens requires a 62mm camera connection. I think you are looking through a 55mm tunnel into a 62mm lens (over-simplified I know). The black ring is the result, and I don't think you can fix that. Is the telephoto a Panasonic accessory, or a third party item. I think I already know the answer to that. I'd take it back and see what Panasonic recommends - you'd be happier. However, Panasonic has Leica glass (Leitz lenses) so it won't be cheap.

Panasonic lumix dmc-fx01 won't focus

See the post for the same camera: "Buttons stopped working": there is a small 2 position switch connected to the zoom button. In my camera the zoom switch was stuck in one of the extreme positions. You have to put it back in the middle an re-assemble.
