Pros: Excellent from all points of view.

Cons: Zoom ring too hard.

Opinion: This perspective really amazed me. Super sharpness at all focal lengths and apertures. I wouldn't have expected that from a kit optic. Well built and balanced, it is not affected too much by flare and other aberrations. The focal range is also of maximum use for all-rounder use. Coupled with a 70-300 this lens forms a truly complete whole, able to satisfy most photographic needs. The brightness, of course, does not allow scary blurs but the ones it does are pleasant. Still in relation to brightness, taking advantage of Lumix's excellent performance for ISO tightness, this is not insufficient even in low light situations. Even the smallest maf distance is able to provide excellent satisfaction. For specialized tasks, however, it is possible to turn to something else. With a well-set camera, vignetting and distortions are corrected in an excellent way, obviously through software as always happens with lenses of this type. In my opinion, its software of choice are Capture One and DXO Photolab which in both cases are able to squeeze the most out of this lens and Lumix files in general. Mechanically it is well made but the zoom ring is too resistant and not very frictioned. I hope it gets better with use. You also feel the lack of a function key. Finally, the price that for so much quality, if taken in kit, is really ridiculous. To those who wish, I am available to provide sample raw images. Highly recommended. I agree with those who awarded a 10 out of 10.

Pros: Sharp and compact

Cons: Very bad vignetting and distortion

Opinion: For me the vote is negative for a simple fact: used on S5 II at 20mm it produces very accentuated and particularly ugly vignetting and distortion that to correct them the camera or ACR have to crop the image a lot which at that point is no longer a 20mm but is closer to 22-23mm. Without correction the photo is unusable especially if it is a landscape due to the very strong vignetting at the corners difficult to correct. A 24-70 is worth it. Reason why rejected. Otherwise it is sharp with neutral colors tending to cold and AC under control

Pros: Sharp at all focal lengths and apertures, very versatile focal range, light and compact, tropicalized, cheap if purchased in kit.

Cons: for what it was designed for absolutely nothing

Opinion: It is a lens that amazed me. I bought it together with an s5 kit for less than 1300 € so for a small change. At that price I don't know what more you could want. My sample is almost perfect both in the center and at the edges already at 20 mm and wide open. Closing with landscape apertures it becomes perfect. The software corrections are there but they are much less evident than on more famous lenses. The micro contrast is excellent and even the Croatian aberrations are almost completely absent. It also has a nice blur considering the not-quite-portrait lens aperture. It is a very versatile all-purpose lens. Excellent for travel, landscapes and for mountain trips and everyday outings. I used it for indoor commercial photos with excellent results. Those who expect to have a yield of 24 f/1.4 at these costs and at these dimensions and weights should consult internationally renowned specialists! For me considered the type of lens, 10/10

Pros: Good sharpness even on the sides, Lightweight and compact, fast autofocus, Sold in the basic kit!

Cons: Not very bright, zoom ring slightly too frictioned.

Opinion: A surprise, I thought I had in my hands the classic kit lens made of plastic and instead it turned out to be a surprise. It remains a little dark, so in situations of low light it suffers a little, but with the sun it does not do badly at all. Excellent sharpness even on the sides, where I thought it struggled a bit, instead both at 20mm and 60mm it does very well. For what it costs and for what it offers, passed with flying colors, neglecting even the small flaws found.

Pros: Compact, lightweight, excellent optical qualities, 20mm wide angle, tropicalized, 0.4x semi-macro

Cons: Not very bright.

Opinion: A nice surprise this goal, taken in kit with the S5. It has an excellent sharpness (obviously not miraculous) constant from edge to edge and roughly at all focal lengths and all apertures. Excellent as a walking and landscaping optics thanks to the wide breath given by the 20mm, obviously it goes into crisis with little light, due to the low light. At 20mm it focuses practically attached to the subject, opening interesting "semi-macro" perspectives
