This Lumix G ‘pancake' lens is normally sold with the new Panasonic GF1 camera, but it's also available separately if you've bought the GF1 with the alternative 14-42mm kit lens, or if you already own a Panasonic G1 or GH1 camera. But who would want to swap a zoom for a fixed focal length lens?

Very useful lens to own. Indoor no flash photos are beautiful even inside a dark mission chapel.

This lens has compact format, good sharpness and very good low light performance. The reviews are usually good. This lens was recommended by friends too. I am very happy i bought it.

Buy a used but like -new . From Panasonic retail box with lens cap, manual was all perfect . Met after this lens , the zoom lens does not use my .

Love the compact pancake size of the lens, and the field of view is pretty versatile. The lens is noticeably slower to focus than other micro four thirds primes (Olympus and Panasonic 25mm lenses for example), even in good light, but it is still very usable.

**Not a professional photographer alert** Fantastic little lens. Compared to the 14-42mm stock on my GX1 this is a world apart. As small as you can get, very bright, and decent auto focus. So far I've not noticed the loss of image stabilisation in my other lenses.

Fantastic prime for the M4/3 system. Plenty sharp and relatively quick AF in a small package.

i use it to take some photos of my friends

"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.
