This lens saved my camera – read the description!
Before buying this lens just be aware that it is a micro 4/3 lens which means it will only fit M4/3 camera (Lumix G and such) it won’t fit full frame or APS-C without an adapter! Additionally M4/3 crop factor means that while this is a 25mm lens it is actually the equivalent to 50mm on a full frame camera.
Before I talk about what I like and don’t like about this lens let me give you some context. (skip to the end for pros and cons)
Earlier in the year I purchased a Panasonic Lumix GH5 with the standard 12-60mm f/3.5 kit lens. I mainly use it for personal photo and video work, but have done some semi-professional projects with it too. And, while the kit lens is good it isn’t amazing. It doesn’t quite give you that professional outcome you desire when purchasing an expensive camera. I never quite got the bokeh effect (background blur) I wanted. I was a bit disappointed, and even thought about getting a new camera, since this wasn’t giving me the result I wanted.
Additionally, I’m fairly new to this, and I know with the right know-how you can make even a cheap camera create amazing results, but I am still developing that skillset.
Fast forward a little, I did some research and looked into buying a new lens. I came across this 25mm (50mm equivalent) f/1.7 and realised it may give me a slightly better result. Safe to say it absolutely did. This lens completely saved my camera from being traded in and gave me the professional quality I sought after.
The images included were all taken with this lens and have not been edited. I couldn’t believe the result all from slapping it on and using autofocus.
So let’s talk about what works:
– Outstanding picture quality
– Quick and reliable autofocus (I have also tried this with video and the results blew me away)
– Amazing bokeh effect – can’t stress how impresses I was with this
– Definitely great value for money
What could be improved?:
– Colours look a bit flat (honestly this could just be the way I have my camera set but things just don’t look too vibrant)
– made of plastic – not really an issue for me but if you’re particular about your lenses then you may want to spend more on a metal lens. But as I said, to me this doesn’t really matter.
Hope this helps anyone researching cameras and lenses. If you have a M4/3 and want a lens to create a great bokeh effect for photo or video then you can’t go wrong with this one.

Sheer joy
It has been a joy to use. Yes, it is plastic but that means it is wonderfully light. Paired with my G100 I have had a great time with the lens. When I bought my first serious camera (Canon A1) in 1981 almost every SLR came with a 50mm lens (unless you chose to trade up for a zoom). It was great to reconnect with the 50mm perspective. Perfect for architecture and topographical and landscape photos. Great for portraits. This, as I say, has been a joy.

Amazing little lens
I got mine only yesterday and havenât had the chance to do much testing yet but from what I have done I can say that this is indeed an incredible value lens. Autofocus is indeed very fast, much more so than my 14-42mm Olympus kit lens, and the focus is very accurate. Picture quality has only been tested indoors so any comments at this point I think would not do it justice but I can say that it is definitely sharper than my kit lens and nicely blurs the background. I love how compact and light it is and although itâs an all plastic build it doesnât feel cheap to me. Iâm really loving this lens so far and cannot wait to try it out outdoors.

Sharp, lightwieght, Panasonic lens
I bought this lens to use on a G7.
The pros: Its light, its fairly sharp and the auto focus works quite well.
The cons: It does not achieve that shallow depth of field look that well (bokeh) unlike some lenses that Nikon or Canon make.
It has a manual focus ring, but it has an internal auto focus too.
Unlike older lenses and pretty much all manual lenses, there is no absolute focus based on distance marked on the lens barrel. This is a bit of a problem for video if you use a separate follow focus, because if you want to focus on something 10 feet away and then gradually focus to it moving in a shot to say 6 feet away, there is no guarantee you can do that on this lens as you might want if you use a follow focus.
The lens is clever in that it can focus on anything when you press the screen automatically – but this feature can hinder manual focusing as it sort of resets itself.
Like some of the other Panasonic lenses, the footage is quite contrasty and limits the dynamic range you get in the footage. Dark colours are often maxed out into blacks. It means video footage from this lens is more limited for colour grading.
Finally the price. Its kind of mid range at £150. There are there nicer lenses out there for sure. But if you have a Panasonic camera, shoots stills and some video and don’t need to manually focus a lot, the pros may outweigh the cons for you.

Does the job well….no hassle. Pictures look good too

Un objectif très peu cher pour les résultats époustouflants qu’il peut donner! Un must have pour tous les débutants/intermédiaires qui veulent apprendre la photographie de la meilleure des manières, c’est à dire, avec une focale fixe.

Tolles Objektiv, habe damit eine alte Panasonic DMC-G6 bestückt. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass die Objektive für 4/3 grundsätzlich günstiger sind als für APS-C und Vollformat. Man erzielt hiermit ein tolles Bokeh und kann damit vor allem Dinge und Menschen super in Szene setzen. Ich als Kamera-Neuling habe mit der G6 und diesem Objektiv so richtig Spaà – genau so habe ich mir das vorgestellt. Es lag zusätzlich noch eine Gegenlichtblende bei. Empfehlenswerter Kauf.
Item was exactly as described and arrived on time as promised –

I am no professional, but it has a great price-quality-performance level. It is cheap, nicely built (the small cap-ring is hard to remove it first), but the focus is quick, the noise is low, the image quality is pretty good, no chromatic aberration no focus-breathing. It is mostly plastic, but the build quality is good.
The delivery was faster, than I expected.
