Quality
Its build quality is excellent a bit heavy but well balanced
So i have only used the lens for video and from what i have seen the quality looks great with no distortion
The construction quality of the lens feels solid and metallic
The first test i always make with a new lens for this camera is with the builtin flash upper left side location because it’s re... Read More

Nice heavy duty manual lens focus peaking and histagram work on the panasonic g7 with this lens was worried it wasnt since its all manuel there no arpeture readout on the screen though and you have to activite work without lens in the options menu not sure why it says apsc on the box when it is a micro 43 lense that part is confusing

Got this in 2018 been using it since then and its a great lens very solid in hand looks great on my camera lumix dcg9 and takes great photos especially landscapes and does well indoors the aperture ring is a nice smooth ring and paired with focus peaking makes it a joy to use one thing that sets it apart from other lenses is the ability to lock the lens hood to the front of the camera i have lost a few of those to the watery depths i cant say the same about the lens cap it came off my camera on my first woodland excursion forcing me to backtrack quite a ways to find it a minor issue though its one of my three main lenses and comes with me on every outing also does well with video work and no noticeable distortion unless you get very close to it and it can exaggerate some features particularly on a persons face but at longer distances 6 or so you wont notice it at all overall if you have a micro 43 camera this should be in your camera bag especially at this price point you wont be disappointed by it

The first test i always make with a new lens for this camera is with the builtin flash upper left side location because it’s really a snapshotish camera at heart

Of course because it’s a superwide there is stretch distortion towards the frame edges and sharpness dropoff towards the edges as you open the aperture but neither is extreme or unacceptable for a lens at this pricepoint

The only downsides are the size and weight which tbh are impossible to get around due to the necessary engineering requirements and the price which i wish was maybe 30 cheaper but to do that they’d have to build it as an f3
