Some time ago the weather was so nice I decided to go on a short walk after finishing work.

So enriched and lustre colors this lens can render!

Just picked up my third copy of this lens !! I let the first go because I had bought the Oly 17mm f1.8. I let the second go because a friend was getting into m43 and I made a generous offer! I saw this one on eBay, "used", but never used so to speak. At £125 it was a bargain. Fantastic little piece of gear - small, light, crazy sharp. I think it'll be third time lucky!

While I am waiting for my new to me Lumix 20mm II to arrive, here are some older pics from my previous 1st gen 20mm F1.7 combined with the GF1.

Do you think the mark II will add anything much over the original?

I “think” I prefer the p20 to the O17 although I’ve not tested them back to back

Usual pros and cons to both

Small, sharp, cheap and a bit of character...what's not to love? Wonderful little lens.

A walk at our local woods yesterday - the photo of the ugly geezer was taken by my youngest daughter (aged 10).

Terrific night shots. I was curious what the latest version of the software denoiser I use (with new low-light mode) could do with the sky. Seems not too bad?

looks like that cleans up well

Terrific night shots.

Thanks. Going out with the 20mm is a lot of fun. (Although I had to hurry in the end. You can see that it was 8:30pm, and I had to be home at 9:00pm, because of the curfew in the Netherlands...)

Definitely! I hadn't applied any noise reduction. I'm OK with a bit of noise, especially in black-and-white night scenes like this.

We're very fortunate in Lincolnshire to be surrounded by a vast amount of aviation history, most of it from WW2. These images are from the old RAF Wellingore site - it closed in August 1945, but some bits remain. A few defensive pill boxes and the old Battle HQ for example. It also runs alongside the old Ermine Street Roman road.

John Magee - the Canadian pilot who wrote 'High Flight' was stationed at Wellingore during WW2, and is buried in a CWG at Scopwick, a couple of miles away to the East. He was killed in a mid-air collision, his aircraft hitting the ground not far from our own village. Guy Gibson spent a short time here too, in fact shooting down his first enemy aircraft over Skegness having taken off from Wellingore in a Beaufighter in March 1941.

Pill box, with the battle HQ in the distance:
