After extensive innovation and design, the Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II Aspherical Lens for Micro Four Thirds emerges as a high-quality, reliable, and versatile photography tool. This compact and lightweight "pancake" lens, finished in a sleek black metallic profile, is a testament to Lumix's commitment to superior craftsmanship and performance.
The lens's f/1.7 maximum aperture is a standout feature, enabling photographers to capture stunning soft-focus backgrounds that make the subject pop impressively. This high aperture also facilitates shooting in low-light conditions and allows for faster shutter speeds, perfect for freezing action or reducing camera shake.
Constructed with seven lenses in five groups, this innovative lens employs two aspherical lenses. This aspherical lens technology minimizes both distortion and chromatic aberration, delivering high-resolution images from corner to corner. The lens's 20mm focal distance, equivalent to 40mm on a 35mm film camera, is versatile enough for a wide variety of photography genres, from breathtaking sunsets to dimly lit indoor shots.
The Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II Aspherical Lens supports the Contrast AF system, ensuring high-precision auto focusing. Its seven-blade aperture produces a rounded shape, creating an attractively smooth effect in unsharp areas when shooting at large aperture settings.
This lens is not just about performance; it's also built to last. The durable metal mount and multi-coated lens elements minimize ghosts and flare, further enhancing its optical performance. It's compatible with a range of Lumix models, including DC-GH5, DC-GX 850, DC-G85, DC-G85K, DC-GX85, DC-GX8, DC-G7, DC-GF7K, DC-GM5K, and DC-GH4.
In summary, the Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II Aspherical Lens for Micro Four Thirds is a testament to Lumix's commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality, and versatile lenses that meet the needs of today's photographers.
