PANASONIC LUMIX G II Lens, 20MM, F1.7 ASPH., MIRRORLESS Micro Four Thirds, H-H020AK (USA Black)

Product Information

Against the brighter Leica 25mm, the new model has similar levels of sharpness overall but lacks the consistent, edge-to-edge sharpness of that lens when stopped down. When you couple this with its great build quality and focusing abilities you’ve got yourself quite the winner.

This means straight lines will look, well, straight (see the images above the flowers for an example). Rather than use the SEMA-1 mic system, which is excellent by the way, I’d rather use the electronic viewfinder and so I’ve decided to gather audio separately and sync together in post.You're always ready for whatever inspires the photographer inside you – everyday scenes, passing landscapes, indoor shots in dim lighting, casual snapshots, or artistic shots. In our tests, we couldn’t reall which balances perfectly with the hood attached but the lens has ( broadly known and reported) decentering issue. This review has made my mind up to ditch the 17mm pancake, and spring for the 20mm Pany lens, and I’m looking forward to the release of the Voigtlander 0. When you realize that some lenses have been tested on a camera with 36 megapixels, while this test is performed on a 16 megapixel camera, then it’s clear that the Panasonic 20 mm f/1.

There still is and always be a market for a DSLR for those who need those capabilities but I am speaking to those who want a carry around camera. When shooting bright light sources at stopped-down apertures – like in the F16 shot above – the 'spikes' of the sunstar are soft-edged and not all that well pronounced. If full RRP is your only option and you have the money it's probably worth spending the extra to get the Olympus 25 / 1.

In other words: we tested this lens with a resolution of 14 megapixels (2:3 ratio) instead of 16 megapixels (4:3 ratio).is an epic lens and going through my catalogue of images it was notable that a great deal of my most loved images were from that lens. If you’re happy to live with this (focus is also slow for photographers), then you’re rewarded with a take anywhere pancake lens that can change a smaller Micro Four Thirds camera into a pocketable camera you want to take with you everywhere you go. There’s a good sized focus ring that protrudes from the lens, and when using manual focus, this uses an electronic (focus by wire) system, meaning that the focus adjustment can be adjust quickly or slowly depending on how quickly you turn the focus ring. It doesn’t appear to be low light but it was shot at night in my living room with a table lamp 10 feet away.
