Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 Lumix G Micro Four Thirds Lens Review

Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 Lumix G Handling and features

Being a pancake lens, this optic is very compact, and will make a pocketable combination with many Micro Four Thirds system compatible camera bodies. It weighs only 100grams, and compliments the Panasonic Lumix G3 used for testing very well.

The lens barrel is constructed from high quality plastics with a gun metal finish, and much of this space is filed with the rubberised focus ring, which has just the right amount of resistance for making fine manual focus adjustment easily.

As focusing is performed internally, the 46mm filter thread does not rotate and the lens does not extend, making it perfect for use with graduated and polarising filters. Autofocus speeds are good and focus is virtually silent.
