I've bought a Lumix G2 off a mate at work but the lens that came with it only has a 4x zoom.

Looking for a decent lens for it that will let me zoom in a bit more. Any recommendations? Seen This on Ebay, seems cheap, is it any good?

That looks like some older lens with a Panasonic adapter. Not a specific Panasonic lens.
You may be able to get something like this and then mount a lens from another brand

I use a GF3 and have found if lenses other than those made for the camera are used, you have to turn it to manual mode and focus it manually. OIS is not an option either, so you'll probably need to use a tripod, especially for zooming in.

So it's best to get a specific G2 lens and that isn't one, thanks for pointing that out.

What about this? It's priced at more than I paid for the camera but will it be worth it?

Ebay isn't always the best
