Panasonic LUMIX G Lens, 14mm, F2.5 II ASPH., Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds, H-H014AK (USA BLACK)

First off I watched quite a few video reviews online as well as various pro blog reviews before making this purchase. I am very happy that I did make this a part of my lens collection at a fixed aperature of f 2.5 this is fast enough for a non Pro lens the 14mm wide (28mm full frame) angle view makes it great for narrow spaces. As far as image quality its sharper than a kit lens, when stopped down to a lower aperature images are crisp. This is a good lens for a casual or hobbyist photography looking for a minimalist design lens at a very low cost. I would also suggest reading this lens reviews by prophotographers in determining what lens suits you best.

I'm using this lens with a Panasonic Lumix GX8. The low profile of the lens allows for easy carry of the camera, and minimal weight. It works great for general use, and I have no issues with the imaging quality. For wide angle, this lens works fine. As always, I recommend buying the B+W multicoated UV filter to protect the front of the lens. For the price, this lens is a bargain!If I were considering buying this lens, I'd personally probably go with the Panasonic H-X015K G LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm/F1.7 ASPH instead. It's larger physically and twice the price, but higher quality and has better low light capability.Note that neither of these lenses has image stabilization built-in, which I consider a drawback *for my use*. I have Parkinson's, which makes my hands shake. Image stabilization, along with faster lenses (hence faster shutter speed) help reduce the effects of camera shake. When I need to shoot in low light, I use the 12-35mm f/2.8 zoom, which is not as compact but does have image stabilization and water/dust resistance. Life is full of trade-offs, and lens choice is a fine example.My Micro 4/3 camera kit consists of:Panasonic Lumix GX8 Camera BodyPrime lenses:Panasonic LUMIX G 14mm f/2.5 II ASPHPanasonic H-X025 Lumix G Micro 4/3 LEICA DG SUMMILUX 25mm f/1.4 Leica Aspherical LensPanasonic H-NS043 Lumix G Leica DG NOCTICRON 42.5mm/F1.2 LensZoom Lens:Panasonic X Series H-HS12035 Lumix G 12-35mm F2.8 ASPH LensFlash:Panasonic DMW-FL360L Flash (Black)And various other accessories.

I bought this lens with the intent to use my GH5 in the gym on a Joby tripod. Its lightweight and keeps the camera/lens weight lite enough to use the small adjustable tripod.

I do a lot of travel and landscape photography. This lens is exactly what I was looking for, for my Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IIIs. I love the compact size and short profile with a relatively fast F2.5 and a 35mm equivalent of 28mm wide angle.

I have used it as a video lens on old Lumix G6 and gimbal Crane M2. It works very good. Small camera and lens without stabilization. The gimbal saved the video. The lens is good.

Awesome for an easy to carry lens. Very impressed by the image quality.

This is my go-to lens for lazy street photography.It focuses fast, is sharp, and compact.Well worth the money if you are using a m43 camera.(EDIT NOVEMBER 2022)So this is my main lens for street and architectural photography. Still a solid performer a year later.

I bought this lens for my Lumix g85 and gh4. If you own a micro 4/3 camera then you should definitely buy this Pancake lens. Really small and easy to carry. This lens is sharp even at f2.5 aperture. Perfect for my YouTube channel. I mainly use this lens for shooting videos. I highly recommend this lens. Stop by my YouTube channel and ask me anything you want. Thanks
