Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH. Lens (Black)
UPC's:
Excellent portrait and carry around lens.
I like this lens as a carry around when shooting indoors when I am already close to objects. It also makes for a great portrait lens. I do not get any distortion unless I am shooting at an angle extremely up close. Focus is sharp and the images are clear, even in low light.

Quality Purchase
I bought this lens as one of my start out lenses for my Panasonic GH4. For the price, I found this lens to be a perfect fast prime lens to start out with until I have the money to buy more expensive lenses. It is unbelievably tiny, very fast, and a solid focal length.

Good Value for money
This is a replacement for the series I lens i had that unfortunately got fungus growing inside of it (I live in a tropical environment and lenses have a short life span for me). That I purchased it again should say all. Great low light performance for indoor shots.

Excellent Lens
Great product, great service. The lens is sharp, small, fast and lightweight. True, under some conditions it hunts a bit for focus on the Olympus, but everything else is so good I can live with it. You can't go wrong with this quality and this price and BH service.

Fantastic
Awesome lens for outdoor/street photography. It looks really discrete. There is some autofocus noise, most noticeably in a quiet room. You can feel the autofocus through your fingers compared to the kit lens or the pan 42.5 f1.7 (which are definitely quiet).

an excellent fast pancake
I use the lens for video with GH4, and I would not mind having the option of image stabilization. Since it is functionally 40mm (2x crop on MFT)it is very useful everyday lens. Very light and small, and you can get very nice shallow depth of field at f 1.7

Small, light, great IQ
I use this as a normal lens, I never used a 50mm when I shot film, I used a 35mm and this one is really perfect for me. The lens is small and light, I wish there were Aperture settings on the lens and that I would not have to do this in camera.

Must have lens
This is a great lens for indoor shooting. Perfect for candid shots of friends and family in or out of doors. Fast enough for action shots and very, very clear. Another great thing is that it is so small and light. Perfect and a must have.

Great little lens!
Perfect lens for everyday use and street photography. Very light weight and looks great on my LUMIX G7. The low light capabilities are a little slow in auto focus but when using Manuel focus the lens produce high quality night shots.

Must have prime lens
Its a very sharp and light weight lens. I am reinventing my photography skills with this lens, like we used to do prior to the invasion of zoom lenses. The lens gives crisp and extra sharp images under diffficult lighting conditions.

Exxcellent
Excellent value, this will be a lens that follows me everywhere due to to it's versatility and low profile. Great for street photography, indoor shots/low light, portraits & lifestyle/detail shots. Beautiful bokeh & transitions.

Great beginner/budget prime lens
I got this to use with my Lumix G7 and haven't used the kit lens since I got it. This lens is wide enough with a low enough f to reduce shake and perform well in low light. Great beginner/intermediate prime lens for the price.

Nice!
Compact lens with smooth manual focus, and surprisingly fast AF with the E-M5! Olympus lens is a tiny bit faster, but this Panasonic is sharp! This lens is quite descent wide open, but great from f4-f8, and 8 is at its best.

Sharp with good ability to blur background
Purchased principally for close-up food photography in the field rather than the studio. Speed of lens makes working in low light far easier, and the background blur is pleasing, if not quite the fine bokeh of my old Leicas.

Excellent M43 Fast Prime
Picked this up at a steep discount when I bought by Lumix GX7 and am really glad I did. The lens seems very sharp with very little distortion. I'm super-please with it, and now understand why so many rave about this lens.

One of my favorites
This is a great lens, very light and compact. Excellent for general use when size is important. Sharp wide open. Downside is that AF is a little bit slow and misses sometimes. MF ring is very smooth.

Sharp bright little lens
I haven't had this lens for long, but so far it's been working great on my E-P3. The camera/lens combo thing is a tidy little package that has done great in poor to marginal to excellent lighting.

Compact lens
I bought this to be my main lens. The whole idea of having a smaller mirrorless camera is portability.I use my camera for hiking up a 1200 foot mountain in the morning to film the sunrise.

Incredibly small and light
I haven't had an opportunity to shoot with it yet, but I read many positive reviews about the last version of this lens and decided to purchase one. It is incredibly small and light.

Great lens
Awesome lens for the new Lumix GX7 that I bought as a gift for my wife. This is the lens that you should buy for this camera. Good quality pictures. No complaints. Highly recommend.

Always Surprises Me
I go through phases when other lenses are on my GH4 camera, but every time I put the 20mm back on, it amazes me with it's sharpness and versatility. Love it's size and performance.
