    This review is about the colour: Silver

    Excellent lens, a diamond. I got it for use on my OM-D EM10ii and to replace the 14-42 EZ with something of similar size but better quality in terms of results. Sharp across the entire frame, small and convenient for everyday use, you may lose some practicality due to the fixed lens, but you don't feel like you're losing (the opposite) in terms of photo quality.
    Negatives:
    - It is slow to focus compared to other lenses (at least on my camera)
    - It makes noise when focusing on something that is being recorded in video

    An incredible lens in terms of design, visually it seems impossible for this slim lens to be a prime with f/1.7, but it is sharp and optically good, with good build quality, obviously due to its small size it fits everywhere. Its focal length is a bit strange, as if it were slightly wider it would have more usability options, not that this makes the lens incapable of being used for great photos.

    The only complaints are that in low light conditions, it struggles a lot to focus and that with the Olympus E-PL5 again in low light conditions it may occasionally show stripes on the top half of the image. It also cannot do continuous AF, like in a video.

    This review is about the colour: Silver

    Very good lens, I use it on the GH5 for videography and the image quality it provides in combination with the camera is excellent. Very small, lightweight, and quite bright lens.
    The focus ring has a very nice feel, but the focus throw is very long, which makes manual focusing difficult, especially if you have to focus from something very close to infinity. Unfortunately, the lens is not compatible with the GH5's focus transition.
    Overall, it's worth its money. The 20mm becomes approximately 40mm, so it's a normal lens without distortions (automatically corrected within the camera) for many uses.

    This review is about the colour: Silver

    I wanted this lens for a long time. I have the Panasonic Lumix GX80 with the 12-32mm kit lens.

    The lens is simply excellent. Its 35mm equivalent is 40mm. The autofocus is fast and accurate. Its sharpness is the best you can get for this price range, and anyone who wants clear photos throughout the frame should buy this lens.
    It's a compact lens, very lightweight, ideal for almost all types of photography. An excellent lens for street photography and everyday moments. For portraits, there are definitely better options in terms of bokeh, but shooting wide open also produces a beautiful blur!

    My next goal is the Panasonic 42.5mm lens to complete my collection.

    ****Update 29/06/2019
    I want to mention something that is not mentioned anywhere because it might interest many. With this lens, the AFC (continuous focus) does not work. This is an issue for some who want to capture fast-moving subjects such as sports
