Showcase Panasonic 20mm f/1.7

[cedge]

This is a great walkabout lens on my Pen-F. It was a bracketed shot with a selection of mono and colour profiles but ultimately ended up with a monochrome conversion using DXO's Filmpack that I'm currently trialling (plus a few minor lightroom tweaks). Its so easy and quick to get a look that you like (and this is coming from a Silver EfEx Pro 2 fan).

Could onyone tell me what any nuance between lens' generation I & II? Or Is there any improvement of gen II compared to gen I?
I want to buy one as the price (~ $100) of a used one is irresistible.

Thanks in advance.

I have both of them and can't tell any difference between the pictures taken with them. It appears that the changes were only in the looks.

I used them both years ago and couldn't notice a difference either. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, I think some folks felt the mk1 was preferred.

I just picked up the original for $110. I was a bit surprised to see a $50 or so difference in price vs the II.

There are some articles about some diff... See this post, https://tysonrobichaudphotography.blog/2013/12/19/panasonic-lumix-2020-vision-v-1-vs-v-2/

Don't know how true it is, I have owned both and can't say I've noticed much of this

Keep in mind that there's sample-to-sample variation (manufacturing tolerances) that's not negligible that you'll find for all lenses, which could readily explain all the sharpness differences and some other things. So one v1 vs. one v2 may be highlighting more of that than anything else.

As for legit differences besides the look, I think there's supposed to be differences in lens coatings that do explain different behavior with flare for v2 (slightly improved).

Just picked this lens up myself, not sure why I waited so long. It’s exactly how people have described it… sharp but slow to focus (but not so slow it’s unusable).
