Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 9mm f/1.7 ASPH Pros: Lightness and considerable angle of view (provided you know how to handle it with skill) Cons: Flare and ghost galore Opinion: I took it out of desire to add a wide lens to my lens park of an OM1markii and experiment with a wide angle of view that is unusual for me. I took him on various panoramic excursions (lake, mountain, sea, architecture of interior churches, above all). So I write after intensive use in the field in various situations during the day and in the evening. There are certainly merits such as lightness while being plasticky to the touch, the typical brightness of the optics, the 1.7 aperture is excellent especially for indoors. Very responsive and performing autofocus on my camera, the price is certainly another advantage for such bright optics. However..... guys... but.... Resign yourself to losing a lot of shots. This lens returns flare galore on every occasion and circumstance, often you have to give up the subject because there is a way to shoot it without flare and ghost. It becomes a lottery and often like raffles you only get lost. In the end I rejected it and got rid of it. And honestly, don't tell me that it's normal for such a wide lens because it's not true at all to such an exaggerated extent. In love with the width I even went down as a focal length by switching to a zuiko 7/14 pro and honestly it is another category of lens that is now used and taken home at very low costs. With the 7/14 flare and ghost very little and the inevitable minimum, I never missed a single photo output. In the end I personally do not recommend this panasonic. sent on 30 Gennaio 2026 |

Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8 Pros: Cost, compactness, f1.8 aperture, tropicalization, construction solidity, color rendering, soft bokeh, low weight. Cons: At the moment nothing. Opinion: Classic kit lens, but... with a final surprise. It may seem like the typical lens that they put in the kit to make you take some photos with the camera as soon as you leave the store, a lens to change as soon as you make some money after the purchase of the camera... But no! This is a really surprising lens if you like the focal length, a lens that you will not easily give up wondering how you can have such a lens in your hands at such a competitive price. Solid, generous aperture at 1.8 which already at maximum aperture is a blade on portraits, vignette very little, sharp from edge to edge, faithful colors, soft and progressive blur, tropicalized, reactive. I use it in combination with the S5 and as an autofocus it is highly performing, a perfect match. Great for portraits, still life, urban views, street, close up. It will become your companion for targeted and selected photographic outings avoiding carrying around a plethora of lenses to change. There is no entry level 50ino from other brands that can compete with this. We are on a quality/price ratio that is to the advantage of the user. Highly recommended. sent on 20 Gennaio 2026 |
