lafilm Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Quick question for GH4 users; I finally got my new GH4 in the mail...first step was to attach new 42.5 Panny/Leica and Voightlander 17.5…both lenses are quite tough to attach. They do go on and click in place, but I feel like I'm going to break them. Have to turn both of them quite hard for them to fit. Is this normal for GH4's?...my Canon lenses go on extremely smoothly…(I never owned a mirrorless camera before). Is this because the body of the GH4 is so small?..I don't have any other lenses to test. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

leeys Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 New mounts can be a bit tighter. It's just tight, not rough, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafilm Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 leeys - thanks Yes, it's real tight...However, it does make a 'grinding' noise when I put the lens on…it does click into place..but Before it clicks tight is when I hear the grinding noise. I too thought it was because its a new mount, but I've never heard sound/grinding on a new cam before...I have always been a Canon user…first time with 4/3..not sure now..Please let me know if you have grinding sound on your cams?...thanks again.

jonpais Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I own the GH4 with Panny 12-35 and 35-100 and they attach firmly and smoothly. There shouldn't be any grinding. If bought locally, I'd go to the shop straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeys Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Ok, grinding bad. Clean the mounts, and if it persists, send it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
