Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II Asph. review | Amateur Photographer

amateurphotographer.com

The Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH lens punches above its weight in performance, offering excellent sharpness and a bright f/1.7 aperture in a compact, affordable package. With its lightweight build, it's a versatile companion for Micro Four Thirds cameras, perfect for low-light and general photography. However, it stumbles with slow autofocus, making it less ideal for video work. Chromatic aberration also poses an issue on Olympus cameras, though it's fixable in post-production. If you're willing to overlook these quirks, this lens delivers charming, pocketable performance, making it a must-have for photographers seeking a portable, high-quality lens.

Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH Review - OpticalLimits

opticallimits.com

The Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH lens is a compact powerhouse for those into street photography. Its standout feature is the superb center image quality, even at wide apertures. However, it falters at the edges and suffers from significant vignetting at f/1.7, requiring a few stops down to improve. Distortion and chromatic aberrations are well-managed post-correction, but the bokeh can be slightly harsh. Its build quality is excellent, and while the focus-by-wire system may take some getting used to, the autofocus is quick and reliable. Ultimately, it's a solid choice for micro four-thirds users seeking a blend of quality and affordability, albeit with some optical compromises.

Review: Panasonic 20mm f1.7 II (Micro Four Thirds)

thephoblographer.com

While Panasonic’s Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH. Lens boasts a sleek, compact design and impressive autofocus speed, particularly on the GH4, it struggles with sharpness when wide open. Street photographers will enjoy its low distortion and film-like color rendition, but the lens falls short of its predecessor in some aspects. The upgrade brings better build quality and faster focus, but sharpness and saturation leave room for improvement. It’s a solid choice for those prioritizing portability and autofocus speed over ultimate image sharpness.
