Review on 📷 Panasonic Summilux Lens 25mm f/1.4 Asph DG (H-X025E): High-Performance Photography Gear at Its Finest by Jnis teins

In general - an excellent analogue of "fifty kopecks" for mikra. The quality of the picture,comlors, sharpness - everything is on top, everyone and sundry has already said this. Really very high quality and nice glass. But the lens has not only flaws, just features and not always pleasant ones. 1. Sharpness is not always and not everywhere. F1.4comnditionally working, detailing in the center is not the highest, along the edges - soap. F2 - the center is good, thecomrners are soapy. F2.8-4 - razor sharpness in the center,comrners are also more or less normal.Conclusion: if uniform sharpness throughout the frame is fundamentally important, it is better to take Olympus 25 / 1.8 (save more). Panasonic 25 / 1.7 also had sharpercomrners on open holes, but its autofocus was terrible) 2. Noisy operation of the aperture - does not affect the quality of the photo, just "understand and forgive. " 3. Rectangular hood is more efficient than round hood, but it will not work to put it in the transport position backwards. 4. I bought a used lens after a videographer, he actively used manual focus. Because of this, therubber focus ring stretched and sloshed. Soaking in acetone for 1 hour solved the problem. Other than that, it's a great everyday lens. The price of a new one is greatly inflated, on ebay they are found in goodcomndition for 23-25 ​​thousand - this money is worth it. I switched to a "panel" with Oly 12-40mm 1: 2.8 (chic glass, but too bulky and redundant for amateur tasks), I don't regret my choice, I got what I wanted. - here is a more detailed review of the lens with photo examples.
