Really happy with this lens. That I paid so little for it compared to my other lenses only underscores what a great value it is. It doesn't have weather-sealing or nano-coating or stabilization... but it takes great pictures and focuses quickly, which means it scores points where it counts.

I am really enjoying this lens! It’s my first LUMIX prime, and for the money you can’t beat it. I also have the 12-60 3.5-5.6, but wanted a good fixed length lens. This is the angle of view of the human eye, and when shooting macro, this will be closest to 1:1 ratio. I have now had this lens on my camera for a week straight. That’s amazing for me with a non zoom lens! I highly recommend!

I was looking for a prime lens for my MFT camera, which was a Nifty 50 equivalent. This lens is giving me fantastic images. Setting the f-stop at 1.7, I can get some great depth of field blur. The lens feels solid but is light.

For the price and weight and performance, this is a great lens. It's maybe a little soft wide open, but I'm doing mostly portraits at that aperture with this lens, and don't want things too sharp anyway. For my tastes, it softens the somewhat harsh look of my Panasonic Lumix G7 just enough so that I don't have to change the camera sharpness settings (which I might want sharper for, say, architecture). Another great this is the autofocus is very quiet, compared to some of the cheap 50mm DSLR lenses I've used. It weighs next to nothing, and looks kinda cool with the gray text on it. So I'm happy I bought it.

Great quality for the price. I've had the more expensive F1.4 version, in the past, and this is pretty close to that quality for a fraction of the price. The only thing I dislike about this model is the focus by wire feature, when you turn the focus ring. It's a minor gripe, but definitely not a deal breaker. I would recommend this lens to anyone who'd rather not spend 3x for the F1.4 model.
