Panasonic Lumix 25mm F1.7 | H-H025E-K Prime Lens, Black - Micro 4/3 Mount Compatible Panasonic & Olympus

Product Information

is very fast to focus: it takes well less than one second to slew through the entire range of focus. The lens provides a 50mm focal distance (35mm camera equivalent) similar to that of the human eye when mounted on a Micro Four Thirds camera and takes advantage of Panasonic's 240fps contrast detection AF system.

Interesting that on forums like this, we have a tendency to argue on the details and ignore the message. We could fix this whole equivalence debate by either getting rid of f/numbers and just using aperture diameters or by getting rid of exposure-based ISO and just using a more absolute measure of sensitivity. But if asked what is the best lens bargain to be had this is always the first lens that comes to mind.

The only problem is that on long exposures, really bright stars suffer from serious purple fringing, at least on Olympus body.

HD Digital Frame is a great way to put your portfolio on display and a great way to surface forgotten memories. This is a very good level of performance overall, and images should be bright, sharp and attractive throughout the range.

I take images for me and appreciate the affordable options the manufacturers make for the hobbiests like me. The lens features 8 elements in 7 groups, including 1 UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) and 2 aspherical elements. This means straight lines will look, well, straight (see the images above the flowers for an example). After all, they say you become a better photographer, faster, 'zooming' with your feet rather than zooming with your lens. I'm sure Mr Bresson could do just as well or maybe take even more interesting photos with a 35mm with the same speed, .
