i use it to take some photos of my friends

Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight

Slow Focus

We compare the two Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 lenses to see if there are any additional benefits with the new version II lens.

Same excellent image quality as the original; Improved build with metal construction; Slightly improved resistance to flare; Improved design

Same focus system as old lens; Increased price

"Anyone who shoots micro four thirds needs this lens. In fact, anyone who wants a small, amazing quality, versatile prime lens which has a fast aperture and amazing lens qualities needs this lens.

Just purchased this for my OMD E-M5. Pictures look great! It focuses a little slow on this camera but that's to be expected since it's not a Panasonic. I purchased this instead of the Oly. equivalent because this one is sharper.

Compact; Inexpensive

This LUMIX G 20mm F1.7II lens is an update to the original LUMIX 20mm F1.7 pancake lens made popular by Micro Four Thirds system photo enthusiasts because of its razor sharpness and compact size.

I've been using this glass for about a month now. Very sharp (quite noisy while focusing as you will know if you read or watched a single review of it), nicely build and great for traveling due to compact size. I like how f/1.7 separates subject from the background (almost a 3d feeling).
