Panasonic LUMIX G Lens, 25mm, F1.7 ASPH, Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds, H-H025K (USA Black)

perfect lens

Highly recommended if you have a suitable camera body to use it on.

Great low light performance, full body portrait

Overview While this isn't my favorite lens (that would be the Olympus 45mm/1.8), this is currently a very close second. This is an excellent lens, especially for low light. The only reason why this isn't my favorite lens is that for my particular uses, the 45mm is a more useful focal length. For most people, however, the 25mm is probably a way better focal length. I don't believe you can get a faster lens than this one at such a low price. The Good Parts * Inexpensive at just over $200 * Good all around focal length for most people * Sharp and good color * Metal mount * Fast F1.7 aperture means you can use a lower ISO in low light * Good AF speeds (your mileage will vary, depending on the camera you are using) * Comes with lens hood * Lightweight * Good bokeh * Well made Could Be Better * A little chunky (volume-wise, it's bigger than my 45mm)

O produto é excelente, funciona extremamente bem! Ótima qualidade.

So where do I start?! This lens is absolutely amazing to say the least!!! I’m a freelance videographer/filmmaker, but I’ve been playing around with still photos as of late to broaden my skill set. This lens is absolutely fantastic in so many ways. The size and weight are both great. I love the compact form factor hence the reason I’m using the micro 4/3 system. The build quality is pretty good given the fact it’s a plastic lens. It doesn’t feel flimsy. Some reviews claim you can’t attach filters to the lens but you can. You Just have to remove the cosmetic ring. The image quality is super crisp, especially when you’re in good lighting. 25mm (50mm full frame equivalent) is a great focal length and is a must have for any camera owner. The fact it’s a prime lens is great because it forces you to move your camera and be more creative with your shots vs just zooming. This lens has a VERY close focusing distance! It’s nearly macro lens close! In one of the attached photos I literally had my camera sitting on my desk about 7 inches from the power brick I photographed. In that same photo you can also see how shallow the depth of field gets wide open at f1.7! Not to mention the f1.7 aperture comes in handy in low light situations! This is a VERSATILE lens that I HIGHLY recommend! If you don’t have a camera and you’re looking to purchase one. I suggest skipping the kit lens and buy the body only. Let this be your first lens!!! Trust me you won’t regret it! You can’t get that bokeh (blurry back ground) with the kit lenses. The kit lenses aren’t fast enough (have low enough apertures). All images and the video attached were all taken using the LUMIX GH4 & 25mm f1.7 lens IG: AirwayAmmz

Best for quality no damage

El sistema micro 4/3 es muy versátil por lo compacto que puede llegar a ser, lo malo es que sufre un poco con poca luz, pero este objetivo me ah resuelto muchas cosas, es un equivalente a un 50mm en full frame muy luminoso, eh podido hacer sesiones en condiciones de muy poca luz y va muy bien, tiene aberraciones cromática, no tiene mucha distorsión, el anillo de enfoque al ser electrónico no tiene fin y aveces es confuso usar el enfoque manual (el auto enfoque por contraste de la cámara es poco preciso con poca luz), pero es muy suave y la transición de enfoque es muy orgánica. Es f1.7 pero no es muy nítido a diferencia de f2.8 donde es su punto dulce y es super nítido; en general me encanta esta óptica por su tamaño, su nitidez, el bokhe, la luminosidad. Estoy convencido de que es muy buena compra.
