Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 ASPH LUMIX G review by rponiarski
Review Date: 11/5/2012 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Total Spent: $178.00| Rating: 9 

 
Pros: Tiny and fast, a no brainer of a landscape lens
Cons: No lens hood included.

This is a really nice lens for the micro 4/3 system. It is small, light and makes even my E-P2 nearly pocketable. Image quality is very good, focus is fast and at f2.5 it beats just about any wide angle zoom. Highly recommended.

Pros: Light, small, affordable, very good image quality
Cons: None

Now this is a nice optical surprise in a small package! Images are nice and sharp and the autofocus is fast and almost completely silent. Also it's very, very compact and light weight. Even if you only plan to use it now and then, it's absolutely no problem to carry with you everywhere. It fits in a small corner or pocket of your coat or bag. Highly recommended!

Pros: Tiny, wide, Large Aperture
Cons: none

This lens is great. I am having so much fun with this lens. I now use it on my GH2. Makes a great size and weight for a walk around. Camera and lens fits in a jacket pocket. Tiny focus ring but serviceable.


Did I say Tiny. I should. Stellar performer for it's size.


I plan on using this lens for video recording.

Pros: Size, weight, construction, image quality, AF speed, value for money
Cons: Need to stop it down for sharpness, slight distortion

I have bought this lens with GF2 kit.
It really exceeded my expectations.
I think this is one of the underrated lenses.
14 mm focal distance is very useful for my photography.
Pancake design makes a lot of sense for M4/3, zoom lenses are just too big for such small cameras.
Image quality is as good as it gets for pancake, very small and light (I did not see anything like it), construction is solid - excellent performance overall.
I still need to test it wide open if it is sharp enough for real life situations.
Great job, Panasonic - I look forward for more pancake lenses from both Olympus and Panasonic!
