Used Lumix 24-105/4 in London

[Jonathan-Mac]

I saw this and thought there might be someone interested here as it seems a good price as long as it's all working well. There's a no-quibble returns period of 14 days for anyone who wants to buy online, of course if you go and inspect it you can check if it's working OK and make sure it doesn't have any blue fogging or anything.

Blue fogging? Is that a thing?

Blue fogging? Is that a thing?

Oh dear.

Blue fogging, dust and white spots are the main QC weak points in Lumix S lenses. Best guess is that the blue fogging is caused by some component (in the glue perhaps) slowly evaporating and condensing on the surfaces of the lens elements within the lens. It can be seen by shining a light in one end of the lens and looking in the other. If you look without the light at the other end then it won't be visible.

It was thought to have been corrected in newer lenses but now I'm not so sure, so best to always check. All three of my Lumix lenses suffered from it and were replaced by Panasonic, two within warranty and the other not (20-60mm, 50/1.8 and 16-35/4).

Apart from the usual softness, AF functionality, de-centring etc these are the things you need to check for when buying a Lumix S lens, especially if it's older and/or used.
