Very bright; good performace all over

no lens hood; odd focal length (for me

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

Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight

Slow Focus

Compact; Inexpensive

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).
