Pros: Construction, dimensions, complete sharpness from angle to angle already at full aperture, hood supplied, double stabilization on Panasonic bodies

Cons: the price relegates it to being little purchased and consequently not widespread in the m43 world compared to its cousin Olympus, despite being, compared to the latter superior in everything

Pros: Color rendering, focal, iris aperture, sharpness, size, stabilization

Cons: price, compared to his cousin Olympus, minimum focus distance

Opinion: Let me say that I love this focal point, because it makes you see street photography differently than the classic 35 or 50mm. Despite being a portrait lens, I didn't test it for a portrait, but I mainly use it for the street or close-ups to my dogs, what to say, the yield is great, the colors are great, the bokeh is as soft as you would expect from an f/1.7 lens. It also has great sharpness all over the frame, you don't miss much on the edges. It is also stabilized, which his Cousin of Olympus cannot boast (although olympus has a better price to his advantage). If it had also had a lower focus distance than 31cm, it would have been a best buy, but even so it is a great purchase if you have a Panasonic camera (lens stabilization works together with sensor stabilization on Panasonic, while on Olympus you don't). If you have an Olympus, I recommend you take the Olympus counterpart, save yourself a little and you have a very similar focal point.

Pros: Very bright and light lens, excellent incisiveness, without having the hardness of cousin 45mm Oly, very good color rendering and good three-dimensionality.

Cons: It's not the nocticron PL, but it costs 4 or 5 times less.

Opinion: I bought the 42.5 after having the 45 Oly, because I prefer its incisive but not extreme yield. For me, not always using a lens that is a blade, is a positive factor. I love its colors never fired, despite being bright and adhering to reality. Skin yield, absolutely natural. I have composed a trio, for light outputs, of which I am extremely satisfied: OM1mk2 .PL 15 f1, 7th 42.5 f 1.7 try to believe!
