Showcase Panasonic 20mm f/1.7

[andyw]

Here is a quick pic of some flowers from my garden taken with the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 on my Olympus E-P1. I am amazed how good it is, even better than when it was on the Gf1 i think...just!

Wide open Jpg!

Very first GF1 image

Here's the very first image from my long-awaited GF1 .. I quickly set-up the camera the same way I have set-up my Leica D-Lux 4 (raw+jpg; dynamic b&w; single point af; center-weighted metering). Processed using Silkypix DS Pro v4.1.34.0 + Topaz Denoise 4

Buddy (one of our 3 rescued dogs) has a "Phantom of the Opera" face and always endures my dynamic range test shots. I am well pleased with this first image.:smile:

20mm

My new 20mm arrived late yesterday, so this morning I went for my first little outing with it. I only had a few free minutes to play with it while shopping downtown, but I managed to get one decent keeper:

GH1, 20mm, 1/20 sec, f/11, ISO 400:

It seems to focus slower than my other m4/3 lenses, but aside from that my first impressions are very positive. Brilliant little lens.

Gordon,
Make sure your camera and the new lens has the newer firmware....

Stephen - she's a beauty and you've photographed her in that moment wonderfully.

 

[Stephen Geis]

Thanks - she's my wife's cousin's daughter (not sure of my technical relation to her). I had the camera by my side and was leaning over to talk with her when I took the photo - which explains why she was looking up and not at the camera

It's just such a versatile lens. A couple from a walk near Falkland in Fife:

If I had to have one lens, I guess this would be it.
