Pros: Lightweight, robust and with excellent performance

Cons: None really relevant

Opinion: I use this lens with great satisfaction, so much so that I hardly disassemble it from my 4:3. I really like the performance and the large aperture allows me to shoot even indoors in low light conditions. I'm among those who lost the lens hood on one of the first outings so I would say that yes, this is a defect!! To the touch, it gives a comforting impression of solidity. It does not have tropicalization but honestly for a "common" use I do not find it a real limit: not even the car is tropicalized, so in any case I would avoid using it in extreme environments. Highly recommended, for those who have "in the ropes" the focal length equivalent to 30mm can be a more than successful choice!

Pros: Yield, brightness, light and compact, build quality, diaphragm ring, hood.

Cons: Cormatic aberration in situations of strong contrast, not tropicalized.

Opinion: Often compared to Olympus' 17mm, this lens is actually closer to a 28mm equivalent than a 35mm. This focal length, in my opinion, is very versatile and allows you to do almost anything. Lightweight and very compact, even with a hood mounted, it is not a problem to always carry it with you. Coupled with the smaller micro 4/3 bodies (I use it on Panasonic GX9) it is discreet and allows you to go almost unnoticed. The maximum aperture of the diaphragm allows you to use it as a "night lens", also because the yield is excellent already at full aperture. The diaphragm ring on Panasonic bodies adds that extra touch to the user experience. The only defect in the yield, a certain tendency to chromatic aberration in situations of strong contrast. I also find it strange that a lens devoted to travel, precisely because of its compactness, is not tropicalized. Given the cost on the new, I think it's a feature they could have added. Almost perfect, rating: 9

Pros: Small, light, sharp, bright, comfortable aperture ring on Pana bodies

Cons: I can't find any

Opinion: Having never used similar focal lengths, and having taken it to start doing street + some close-ups, I can't say much more than what others more experienced than me have said; I add only 3 things that seem important to me: first, the minimum MAF is well below what is stated, I would say around 10 cm which helps in close-ups; second, the hood is included in the box, not sold separately; However, the springs that lock it in place are very weak, which is why I replaced the one supplied with a screw hood; third, the aperture ring is not recognized by the Olympus EM-1, while it is regularly seen by the Panasonic GF-1 and is really comfortable

Pros: Size, yield, brightness

Cons: Hood that can detach, the diaphragm ring does not work on Olympus bodies

Opinion: Small big all-rounder lens. It is bright but fits in the palm of a hand, its metal frame conveys a feeling of solidity that does not clash in an environment, like that of the Micro 4/3, where everything is often plastic. It resembles in weight and size the old screw-pitch lenses of the rangefinder machines of the good times. Being a lover of the 35 mm focal length on the full frame I find this lens a valid collaborator when it comes to reporting. It never disappoints, the yield is excellent and holds up well to the backlight. In black and white he returns old-fashioned images that at least partially compensate for the nostalgia for the times of the film, when the Neopans were pulled to the throes chasing the dream of freehand nights. Between us, Leica and Panasonic have come up with a little object capable of teasing the fetishism for equipment that dwells in many of us. Recommended more than any zoom. Mounted on the Pen-F or Epl-7 it is really in place.

Pros: Sharpness, low weight, aperture ring, very low distortion

Cons: Chromatic aberration

Opinion: Very light and discreet lens in appearance, a perfect match for small bodies such as the GX series. The sharpness is very good at full aperture, excellent from f2. The distortion is really contained. As far as I am concerned, the presence of the diaphragms ring is a pleasure. Pleasant the blurry obtainable even on 4/3. A little chromatic aberration solvable in post production, I would have preferred a key for the transition from Af to Mf a little harder in the drive. Overall a great glass, to have if possible.
