thank you for your answer, do I assume that the Brand of lens is therefore not relevant to the choice of adapter? – artistpaul May 09 '17 at 23:31

Correct, at least for the most part. You'll have to research amongst the specific adapters you're considering. There might be a minor feature difference, firmware issue, cost, etc., that will go into your consideration. But mainly, it's the mount format that matters more than anything. – scottbb May 09 '17 at 23:48

The lens is for a Four-Thirds mount camera. Your Panasonic is a Micro Four-Thirds (MFT) mount camera. Thus, you will need a Four-Thirds to Micro Four-Thirds adapter.
