The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

I used this lens as a staff lens on a Panasonic GF5 camera from August to November 2022. Including, in a two-week tour of Italy. Then tried it in different modes on the G5. With this lens, about 1500 pictures were taken and about 30 videos were shot. Impressions are as follows. The lens is good for the compact GF5 (and for early versions - GF2, GF3), as well as for all GX models. It is not suitable for older models (GH, G), because, due to ordinary characteristics, it does not implement all…

Pros
  • -Slim, compact, well-built body with metal mount -Very good image quality in the center of the frame - Minor longitudinal chromatic aberration -Very slight lateral chromatic aberration -Efficient and silent autofocus - Excellent optical stabilizer -Excellent video shooting with continuous autofocus
Cons
  • -Soaps - low image quality at the edges of the frame at 42 mm -Very strong lateral chromatic aberration at 14mm -Strong distortion at all focal lengths - Noticeable vignetting at all focal lengths - Weak resistance to bright backlight, flare and glare

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Ideal for FHD video, I didn’t try it on 4K, I took it after reading all the reviews, so “5” got what I expected. For a high-quality sharp picture, there are other lenses, this one is indispensably compact. The maximum that will complement (but not replace) it is 20 1.7, but there is no stabilizer, the price is higher and there is no zoom, but in the dark you can shoot and blur the background, for portraits the same helios.

Pros
  • Lightning-fast autofocus, good sharpness, but for a KIT, compact, in bright sunlight or light sources it does not lose a drop of contrast, leaving only clear lens flares, excellent stabilization.
Cons
  • We pay for compactness, the quality of pictures corresponds, or even slightly inferior to the usual LUMIX KIT. During operation, it constantly buzzes, albeit quietly, autofocus works and probably a stabilizer, so you can hear it on quiet videos.
