I've been using a Laowa 17/1.8 manual focus for the past few months but when I went out today, I mistakenly had the 15/1.7 mounted instead. I shoot using zone focusing and the Laowa has been great for that. Having to use the 15 today, it became apparent to me that Panasonic's "Lens Position Resume" feature isn't exactly accurate. This shot's not too bad but there were many where the resumed focus distance was definitely not the actual last-used distance.
Oh, another thing that happened today is that I dropped my GX9 + 15/1.7 from chest height right onto the concrete sidewalk. Ugh. Amazingly, the camera has absolutely no marks on it and it seems to function just fine. It landed on the corner of the JJC grip which has some tiny dents on some of its edges, along with a small dent on the 46mm-37mm filter reducer that I use as a shorty lens hood. Both those items saved the GX9 from any damage.
