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

I was browsing for this one online and from one day to another this baby dropped 100 dollars. I picked it up. I looked the next day and it was back at regular price and it stayed that way for the next week or so. At any rate, I wasn't sure if I wanted this lens. Yes it does feel plastic-y thus a little cheap feeling but this does make it very light weight. As far as size it is bigger than the 25mm Olympus lens. Since I had anticipated returning it I figured I'd mount it on my camera to see what I thought. Wow, I immediately fell in love with this lens. It has excellent image quality, sharp, fast, nice bokeh etc.... My favorite focal lengths are between 19mm- 40mm for candids and some portrait photography. I don't use video much on my cameras but I do need it for one upcoming shoot. I tested out this lens and it is crystal on video, same as its photo capabilities. You really can't go wrong with this lens. At a sale price it was an absolute steel.----Update--- 12/14/18The attached picture is one reason why I love this lens and why I'm sticking with MFT. I just took this lens to on an old entry level Olympus PEN EPL2 and produced this amazing shot. The camera itself is older with slow autofocus, but that combo with this lens really worked. I also have a brand new G9 and I'm scared to see what absolute beauty this lens can produce with a better camera body. I'm not a hoarder...well maybe I am. Anyway, I would consider buying another one of this lens to have just incase something happens to this one. I just review the Canon 10-18 which I love and called it a great value, but this lens might just be on a whole 'nother level. This does not look anywhere close to any lens at this price point. Since getting my G9 I'm pulling out all my old lenses and this did not disappoint. It exceeded all of my expectation. Buy now and buy it fast!

OverviewWhile 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 madeCould Be Better* A little chunky (volume-wise, it's bigger than my 45mm)
