Nice little lens but CA is an issue. In fairness, I think Lumix cameras can correct for this but I shoot Olympus. The lens is sharp and very compact. Focus is silent. Good enough for the money.

This is a really nice / tiny lens, I find 28mm equivalent to be a little, I prefer a 35mm lens. This is still really usable, it works really well as a travel lens or for holiday photography
It's a prime lens, and I love my Panasonic 20mm f 1.7, but this is nothing similar. Focusing is somehow worse (although it's fast and quiet it's shockingly inaccurate) but even worse this lens is incredibly soft. Don't bother.
Panasonic's Lumix G 14mm f/2.5II ASPH lens has a lot in its favour, even though the sample we tested was a bit below par, resolution-wise. Small enough to slip into a shirt pocket and fast enough for shooting in dim lighting, it is also inconspicuous and, therefore, ideal for street photography.
I bought this to be the main lens attached to my GX7 all the time, in lieu of a front camera cap. I figured it would also serve well as the "just grab it and shoot" kind of lens, where I see a shot and need a camera (with a lens already attached) quickly as possible.
It's a tiny and incredibly lightweight lens but performance is really excellent when it comes to image quality.

Bought this to use with Black Magic POCKET Cinema Camera as a stealth/guerilla/walk around lens. No one even looks twice at me with this, everyone thinks I'm just taking photos.
a perfect pair with 20/1,7 especially if you prefer primes instead of zoom lenses
sharp center; smallest serious m4/3 lens; cheap
corner sharpness not that great; but if you stop down a little improves considerably
This is a really nice lens for the micro 4/3 system. It is small, light and makes even my E-P2 nearly pocketable. Image quality is very good, focus is fast and at f2.5 it beats just about any wide angle zoom. Highly recommended.
Tiny and fast; a no brainer of a landscape lens
No lens hood included
