The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

Very beautiful, super-compact, but less and less relevant. I am writing to warn you. Many people buy 20 / 1.7 II to use as the main one, but this is just problematic. Strong continuous focus noise will not allow you to shoot video, and all recent MFT cameras with 4K. Professionals started to seriously use the LUMIX for video only - G-80, GH5 and especially GH5S. 20/1.7 II is definitely not for them. Manual focusing with video will not help either, because. carried out by the engine. Everything…

Pros
  • The smallest MFT lens with aperture wider than 2.0. Cutting Case included
Cons
  • Makes a lot of noise Many times slower than many other MFT lenses External focus Not all weather Sucks in the dust Sometimes problems with contrast No original hood included Of the four focus modes provided in the cameras - AFS, AFF, AFC, MF, for 20/1.7 II only two are available - single and manual.

Excellent product, the best quality.

I've been shooting with this lens for years. This high-aperture Japanese pancake produces an excellent picture with minimal size and weight. He really is not so smart, a little noisy in operation. But this applies mainly to work on Olympus carcasses. Everything is much quieter and faster on Lumix carcasses. The problem is greatly exaggerated. Many complain that noise is heard during video recording. Maybe. especially when the microphone is built into the carcass and is close to the lens. But…

Pros
  • Drawing, aperture, compactness., Japanese assembly
Cons
  • Doesn't work too fast on Olympus carcasses

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

Has pros: Improved work against the light compared to the previous version. The rest is the same as the previous version. Its cons: Notable in the photo-practice no. And so, vignetting and distortion are safely corrected by camera programs or Raw converters. With video focus motor noise.

I am not disappointed, the quality is satisfying.

Unfortunately, it is not suitable for the role of a staffer due to poor focusing, even after the whale Olympus 14-42 R2, this pan pancake seems much slower and less accurate. But optically it is perfect, so I use autofocus with manual focus peaking in complex scenes. On covered apertures, autofocus is more or less fast. But in general, a good night lens =) Got pros: Sharp right from an open aperture of F1.7, ideally compact dimensions, very sharp all over the frame at F2.5, from F2.2 it starts…

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

If there is a video upscaling mode in the camera, then you can use it as 2 lenses as a 40mm and 80mm equivalent - for example, the Panasonic GX80 has such a 2X zoom function without quality loss when recording FHD, which is very convenient, but this lens has enough sharpness and no chromaticity and distortion that makes this possible. Has some pros I really like the FR and sharpness, compact, there is a focus ring. With its cons. Focusing is still not mechanical, but electronic, that is, along…

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

In general, I really like the lens. Its pluses (compactness, aperture ratio) outweigh the minus in the form of slow autofocus. When shooting a street, you get a gorgeous picture if you shoot people from a distance of 1.5 - 3 meters on open apertures. I recommend buying a portrait lens for this lens - and then you can get by with two lenses for most scenes. Sample photos at the link: https://www. Flickr. Com/photos/151415700@N07/tags/lumix20mm/

Pros
  • I use the Olympus Pen E-PL8 as a staff member. Therefore, the pros and cons in relation to Olympus cameras. 1. The lens is very small and light. About the size of a whale Zuiko 14-42 EZ when folded. 2. Fast. On a whale lens with a focal length of 20 mm, f / 4.2 is obtained, and here it is already f / 1.7. It is quite possible to shoot in the evening or indoors without a flash. 3. Quite sharp right away with an open aperture. It is quite possible to shoot a half-length or shoulder-length portrait at f / 1.7. On closed apertures, the lens is not much sharper than a whale plover, but the picture is denser and more contrasting. 4. It turns out smooth, beautiful bokeh, rich colors. It seemed to me that the lens conveys halftones better, less often knocks out white. 5. When the lens is turned on, the "trunk" does not come out. It's a fix. Therefore, it turns out to turn the camera on and off faster. You attract less attention from strangers. 6. Lens body in two colors (silver overall and black in front). Therefore, the lens is suitable for a black camera, and for a white one, and for a silver one. 7. Convenient for shooting various objects up close, small MDF. 8. It is written that it is made in Japan.
Cons
  • 1. Slow autofocus. On the whale plover 14-42EZ, focus is rebuilt in a split second. And here you can see how it drives in and out. 2. When shooting video, autofocus is also rebuilt for a long time. It can be seen how the focus first runs across, then moves back and only on the third attempt is established on the object. Probably better to shoot video on manual focus. 3. When shooting close subjects (subject, flowers), the focus may also wander. 4. On Olympus, the lens gives chromatic aberration in jpg. Olympus rules XA for native lenses, but Lumix is ​​not native. However, in Lightroom this is easily corrected. 5. On Olympus, by default, the lens gives a vignette. You need to enable software vignette correction for third-party lenses in the camera settings. 6. Nuance. If your camera does not have an electronic shutter (like the E-PL8), then you can often hit the minimum shutter speed of 1/4000. During the day in the sun, I often shoot at f / 2.2 - f / 2.5 (otherwise overexposed). If in the shade, then you can set f / 1.7 - f / 2.2.

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

No special geometric or chromatic distortions were noticed. As a photo lens on micro 4/3, super. After 30 / 1.4 on APS-C and even more so on FF, the bokeh is so-so. I wanted it as a universal one, but you can’t really shoot a video on it. It turns out that the standard micro 4/3 is, as it were, not a standard. I do not exclude that the Olympus engineers were too smart. If we talk about the photo, then everything is fine. I took it on the secondary for 10, so I don’t pay attention to minor…

Pros
  • Dimensions, aperture 1.7, image. The trunk is shorter than the Olympus 17/1.7 by 5 or 6 mm.
Cons
  • On the 10m2 Olympus, when shooting a video, there is no autofocus, you have to half-press the shutter button when changing the plan. In general, the words Panasonic-Video-Olympus, this is an incompatible set. When shooting continuously, not all modes have autofocus.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Bought with GX7. I use it as my main. A lens for when you want something in between a portrait lens and a wide-angle lens. Portraits makes 5+. Landscapes fit in. It used to be 14mm, but I got tired of the barrel (this one doesn’t even have a hint). In terms of colors and sharpness, there is no difference with 14mm and 15mm 1.7. For video, if it does, then you need an external microphone and a static motionless object. Long chose between him and 15mm. Stopped on it. I never regret.

Pros
  • Nice and high-quality metal case; Cutting; Focus misses are rare; There is no distortion; Quiet; There is a thread for filters :)
Cons
  • Slow focusing (2 times slower than, for example, pancake 14); Movable front block with a lens (moves forward by 2-3 mm); The focus ring does not work directly; No aperture ring!

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Top. Having put on this glass for the first time, it is already impossible to part with it. Still, how dramatically the feeling of the camera changes. I don't want to let her out of my hands. Suitable for calm, unhurried shooting. With the G85 stabilizer, you can shoot sharp shots in the dark at ISO 200. I have the first version. Outwardly, I like its matte finish with a silver accent more.

Pros
  • The sharpest, lightest and most optically flawless glass on the m4\3.
Cons
  • AF speed. Although, what am I talking about? Yes, such a baby is ready to forgive anything for such image quality and dimensions. The price is ridiculous here) I bought a new one in a box for 13000.
