On Panasonic's website this lens is listed at £1,375. Fortunately, it can be obtained for close to £900, which is still a lot - but a lot less than £1,375.

Ultra-wide angle of view

Very expensive

At the 7mm end of the zoom range, the lens has a diagonal angle of view of 114°, equivalent to that of a 14mm lens in a 35mm system.

The Best 4/3rds Lens. This is the lens that made m4/3rds a necessity. On a video or CSC camera it does not breath when focusing. Constant aperture is a bonus. Very well made and small for what it does. And did I say sharp. I should.

I am an amateur with a Panasonic GF1 camera with 2 lenses (14-45 and 45-200). I wanted to have a super wide lens to be able to catch some more artistic images. I believe it will be a replacement for the 14-45 lens for me as in X2 it supplies flat enough (no distortions) photos with very nice...

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Costly - not for everyone

I saved a good 35% on the nearest price for this product, and arrived earlier than stated. Thanks for bringing the company to my attention, I would not have found them myself.

Nicely built lens that is sharp as pins. Great range from ultra-wide 7mm (14mm equivalent) to wide 14mm (28mm equivalent). Not an inexpensive lens but build and image quality superb.

good focal length range

no filter thread

expensive, but if you love wide angle lens, this is the one to buy. One of the sharpest lens in M4/3 lens line up. Built quality is rigid and excellent compared to its rival, olympus 9-18mm. Is compact and internal zoom. Very versatile lens, photo and video due to fixed F4.

I bought one of these n 2009 for my G1 and use it constantly. An ultrawide lens like this on a DSLR is a rarity, and not to be missed. Truly a fantastic product.

Inexpensive; Exceeded expectations

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm F4 is a remarkable lens - it may not be the widest angle zoom currently made (an honor held jointly by Sigma's 12-24mm for full frame and 8-16mm for APS-C), but its combination of ultra-wide view and compact size is unique.

Extraordinarily small for such a wide lens; Very good image quality; Extremely fast; practically silent autofocus with minimal 'breathing; Impressively resistant to flare

Does not accept filters; Fairly strong lateral chromatic aberration at the widest settings when used on Olympus bodies; High price (much more expensive than Olympus 9-18mm F4-5.6
