Pros: size and weight, image quality, versatility, price.
Cons: in the beginning you have to get used to the 'opening procedure' before you want to shoot a picture
Opinion: This lens is absolutely versatile in use. It can produce sharp immages of unexpected quality in almost every discipline, whitout having to carry a heavy load on your neck. I dumped most of the dslr-stuff I once had after a serious neckproblem. My Lumix GX9 makes a great combination with this lens. Together with its somewhat bigger brother (the 35-100mm) it can be carried in a small camerabag, with a total weight of only 612 grams!! Great choice for travellers and streetphotographers indeed. With some exercising it can even produce some bokeh allthough not being the fastest lens outthere. Take a look at the samples in one of my galleries called 'Lumix G Vario 12-32mm'. Enjoy!
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Cons:Lack focus ring if I really have to find any.
Opinion:I took a gx80 in combination with this lens to test the format. I must say that this lens I had always heard good things about it but seeing it in person really amazed me for its quality despite being a basic optics. I tested it on my trip to Corsica and it didn't make me feel the need for superior lenses in the slightest, although I was still used to Nikon z6 and 24-70 f4 Z. Much appreciated then the compactness that makes the body really pocketable. If only all kit optics were like that. I must say that Panasonic has fully centered the value for money with this lens that I recommend to all those who need portability without "very high demands".
Cons:lack of Af ring, a lot of distortion at full opening
Opinion:taken to have a light lens for excursions nice because small but at that price better but much better the 14-42 ez Olympustutta another construction and qualità.il my 14-42 I had sold it in kit with om d10 miii taken the Panasonic for the Epl7 and em5 I have already bought the Olympus just for the distortion it has at 12 mm
Opinion:You can not find flaws in this small lens, except that unlocking before shooting. But there was also in Nikon's much more expensive Z 24-70mm f4. For the rest it is light, small, excellent price also new, considering that I took it paired with the GX80. In recent months I have used it for all my views and some street and it has always behaved well. Even at night it gives excellent results; When it is pitch dark it has difficulty focusing, but it has happened very rarely. Some images were kneaded, but that I think is a problem of the Panasonic GX80 sensor. Rating: 9
Pros:Compact, lightweight, optically sound, no halo in infrared photos
Cons:Price from new, lack of maf ring, brightness, flare against the light
Opinion:I bought it for infrared photos with an Olympus E-M10, it is a good lens very compact and lightweight. Optically good, very sharp in the center, a little less on the edges, backlight without hood has a very evident flare, perlomento in infrared photos, however it is suitable for the purpose by being a little careful.
