  • Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 ASPH LUMIX G

    5 out of 10 points and not recommended
    Perhaps the size
    Focus speed and fluidity of the focus ring when used in manual

    After 25 mm Oly that I recommend to all I was looking for something more wide and I took the Oly 12 mm, but it is too wide.
    Having sold 25 and 12 I try the Pana 20 f 1.7.
    Sharpness and boken seem in line with the Oly 25 but focus speed and fluidity of the focus ring are not acceptable when used in manual.
    I would not recommend it, better 25 mm Oly.
    I think selling it soon.
    Anyway here some photos taken with the Pana 20

  • Olympus 25mm f/1.8 M.Zuiko Digital

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Light - Small - Fast - Sharp - Lens Hood

    After using Nikon (D300/D700) and Sony (NEX-7/A7r) now I use only Olympus.
    Two body OM-D E-M5, one OM-D E-M5 with 25mm F1.8 and another OM-D E-M5 with 75mm F1.8.
    No regrets for the past,for me small is beautiful.
    Image quality of the Olympus with its lens is sharp, beautiful with gorgeous color.
