Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this lens work on the Olympus Penn F ?YAT-LONG P : Yes, it will work. Both the lens and camera use the micro four thirds mount. EnterANDREW R : Should fit most cameras equipped with the Micro 4/3 lens mount.
Shopper : Is the included Corel Software package the full version, or the "LE" version?ANDREW R : As indicated in the "What's in the box" listing: "Professional Software Package (Includes Corel PaintShop Pro X7 & Corel AfterShot Pro 2 & Nuance OmniPage 18 & FileCenter Standard 7)"
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?VINCENT M : This pancake 20mm 1.7 is an incredible all around lens. It is 40mm equivalent to 355mm format. Small footprint on camera and light weight.MAURI K : indoor photographyTOMAS B : I chose this lens because of its very small footprint and versatility for street photography and carrying around in my side bag.JOSEPH P : I needed an economical 20mm prime for general use with my Lumix camera.FRANCES D : Good reviewsSTEPHEN L : I needed a lens that would work well in low light conditions.Henri C : Needed a good compact lens, and that bundle just pushed me over the edge.Adam H : I'm looking for a lens that can capture low light scenes. Hoping this will do just that!ANNE M : Sought compact "normal" lens for my new Panasonic Lumix GX9 to make small and light "go everywhere" camera with better image quality than the 1" sensor enthusiast compacts. Love the 40mm (35 equivalent) focal length and fast f1.7 aperture for general use, but plan to keep the kit 12-60mm as backup in bag when needed for wide angle, closeup, or moderate telephoto (i.e. portrait).Dave N : good value

Fast, compact prime lens but not good for continuous auto-focus.

Everything good except the slow and noisy focus motors. Fine for still photos and any static video scene where you can lock off on a tripod with a fixed focal distance.

Nice Lens to include with your arsenal

Bought this lens for its weight, macro capability, large aperture size and storage for hiking. In a pinch I can stick it in my pocket so I can shoot with other lenes. As a test to the max, I shot some astro pics with it of the Milky Way and I was impressed as it was my first attempt with this type of photography. The camera that I use is a G85. BTW the kit of accessories it comes with is awesome since I have used most of them.

Pretty good all around lens for every day shooting.

This lens is good for low light photography ,and for landscape photography. It's a bit slow sometimes to focus. All that being said, it's a good all around lens.

Works with GH5s and Ronin S

I needed a Lumix lens to take advantage of the focus control on the Ronin S. This works great and it's light for gimbal work. Performs well for an inexpensive lens.

Great focal, pancake size

So small, so sharp, and a very useful focal length. Perfect for people: you don't need too much space, and the perspective is still ok for portraits. Very sharp in the middle already at full aperture, but to reduce vignetting and sharpen the corner, close to f/2.8. Lightly built, but no complain for the price.

Excellent lens exhibiting wonderful image quality. I especially like the very low profile of this lens. Undoubtedly this is the lens that will remain on my Panasonic G85 most of the time. You cannot go wrong having this lens in your lens repertoire.

Great lens

I bought this lens to use with my Panasonic GM-1 after having some issues with the kit lens in cold weather. I went with a prime since I wanted a low f stop for nigh time photography. I have not had it out at night yet but have been impressed by how much clearer than my other lenses, the kit 12-32 and another panasonic 35-100, this one is. Those ones seemed good until I compared them to this one. I am looking forward to getting this one out at night and seeing how it does in that setting as well.

Excellent compact lens

Like this lens a lot - the focal length (slightly on the wide side of "normal") is great for so many shooting situations. Bought it primarily because I wanted a fast, compact lens to use when I want to travel light and this lens fits the bill nicely. With this lens in place my G7 can even slip comfortably in a jacket pocket. My only issue with the lens is that it focuses a bit on the slow side - not really an issue for the shooting I do - as well as the fact that I often focus manually anyway.

Cheap Shallow Prime for M3/4

This lens is pretty great overall. It's a great portrait lens with a solid minimum focus distance and nice depth of field. It's main drawback is it's focus speed and accuracy. I use this with a GH5 and it does seem to wander around sometimes when autofocusing in reasonable lighting. With that said I would still recommend it. Just be prepared to flip into manual focus once in a while.

A great "walk around" lens.

I have both the Olly 17/1.8 and Panny 25/1.4, but wanted the compactness and range of this lens as my default on an Olympus Pen F. I don't see any difference in quality with these lenses. They're all sharp and contrasty, and focus quickly. The 40mm equivalent is really close to a true "normal" focal length, and while I've only had the lens a few weeks, it's become my go to for street and general purpose. The portrait is about a 50% crop. If you're getting only one prime lens, this would be a good choice.

One of the must-have Micro 4/3 lenses

It's small, relatively light, very sharp, with rich color and contrast. The focal length is also a great match for me. Its main limitation is a slow focusing mechanism; not a problem for me, since I mostly shoot landscapes/architecture/museums and anything with faster action I'll want a longer focal length for anyway.

A must own

By AlexM

The 20mm Panasonic Lumix f/1.7 is one of the few must owns for the micro 4/3 system. I use it on my Olympus EP-2 with great results. It is sharp, fast, focuses accurately, is built well, and looks great mounted on the camera. The bokeh is great. This is a gem of a lens, and a steal for the price. Great optics!

Fantastic lens: colors are wonderful

By Christian H.

Excellent lens. To me, better than the Canon 28mm 1.8 that I used to mount on my Rebel Xti to get a somewhat fast 50mm lens. With the GF1, I get 40mm, but it works great with interior (low light) shots. The colors are simply beautiful. Consistent output.

The LUMIX G 20mm/F1.7 II ASPH, is a compact and lightweight "pancake" lens with outstanding brightness. Featuring a new metallic profile in the Micro Four Thirds standard. It boasts dramatic compactness and light weight despite its F1.7 aperture that enables beautiful soft focus in the background, allowing the subject to stand out impressively.

Comprised of seven lenses in five groups, the new system uses two aspherical lenses to minimize both distortion and chromatic aberration, achieving incredibly high resolution corner to corner. The versatile 20mm focal distance (equivalent to 40mm on a 35 mm film camera) is suitable for wide variety of photography including scenery such as sunsets and dimly lit indoor shots taking advantage of its beautiful soft focus. It supports the Contrast AF system for high precision auto focusing.

Seven blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in unsharp areas when shooting at large aperture settings. The new LUMIX G 20mm / F1.7 II ASPH. lens also features a highly reliable metal mount, and uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize ghosts and flare to further enhance its optical performance.

Panasonic 20mm F/1.7 Features

  • Extremely bright F1.7 optical performance
  • Ultra compact durable metal body
  • Durable Micro Four Thirds metal mount
