Panasonic Lumix G 14mm f/2.5 Wide Angle Pancake Lens - Micro Four Thirds - Mint

Decent performance considering how tiny it is
I bought it to go with an Olympus Pen F and Panasonic Leica 25mm f1.4 to give me a travel light wide angle option. Its weightless, takes up zero space and doesn't disappoint all things considered. Good prices in the used market too.

Performs way better than it looks like it might!
The image quality on offer for such a tiny and light lens is extraordinary. Even though only f2.8 opening, out of focus is still smooth and undistracting. Resolution is good enough for detailed landscape work, but the form factor makes it ideal also as a walk around lens when travelling light. AF is quick. I'm giving 5 stars because any 'downsides' by way of no weathersealing and the modest maximum aperture are built into the price and you know that when you buy it.

A small gem from the past
Bought to accompany a recently acquired 50mm f1.2 to carry as a lightweight two lens outfit when I can't be bothered lugging around the big zooms. Its just what I was hoping it would be. These are not disposable like modern lenses, no electrics to go wrong and top notch build quality. it has a wonderful renditional clarity, probably due to only having 6 pure glass elements and avoiding such practices as plastic aspheric hybrids. It even acquitted itself well in low light in spite of being only f3.5 maximum opening. Manual focusing is easy and there is no bothersome distortions. I think it is good value if you don't want to spend 2.5x the money on the F2.8 version.
