Answers.Body: <p>A common zoom range of Panasonic MFT lenses is 14-42(45)mm. As an owner of such a lens I found out it's quite a compromise for city videos. 14mm is wide, but often times not wide enough for buildings. 42mm is tele, but not enough for detail shots.</p>

  I'm about to buy the Panasonic Lumix G7 (body) and I would really like some advice about the best lens I can get for it at **less than 400$** if possible. I want it for shooting video, and the lens should be a zoom lens.
  
  Thanks.
