The Panasonic 20mm F 1.7 lens Image Thread

I think I already posted it somewhere, but still - this is one of my favorite photos made with my Panny 20/1.7.

I have had my Panasonic with the 20mm F/1.7 for almost a year now and it has proven to be a very capable combination. I suspect about half of all my images this year have been taken with this lens which makes it my most used lens I have as the other images are spread around 10 other lenses.

I wish I had images to show but I see flaws in every image I make so I am never completely satisfied. Before you jump to conclusions it s not the tool that is causing the flaws but the maker of the images

My most favoured image is always my next image so pretty hard to show that. For those that know my work they will know that I do put the 20mm F/1.7 to hard use and it does do well, very well indeed!

Stratokaster, I really like this portrait (as you know) very much. Love the blues and the realism - I can feel that cold, damp weather, and, yet, I think it has only brought out the beauty of your wife even more.

Grant, I am glad we can see your photos on Flickr. To err is human.

BB I am very human if that is the case.

I should point out that I am not dissatisfied with what I do, in fact I think I know the value of it, it is just that I am very critical and always question my work. Without room for improvement life would be a huge bore!

Here are a few more. I'm surprised that there are not loads of images being put us as i would assume that just about everyone with either a GF-1 and Pen would have this lens!

1: Doggy

2: Brighton Pier

3: The 3 Amigos

I think there are about a zillion (that's a technical term) on the m43 site, where just about everyone has an m43 camera and, hence, the lenses. Here, its more of a sideline than the main attraction...

Yeah, great lens! Not my favorite focal length, but I end up using it a lot in low light and occasionally in pretty good light.
