Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 Lens Review: The BEST Value MFT Lens

Рет қаралды 51,124

Күн бұрын

Around a year ago I purchased my Lumix G7 without the kit lens to save a little cash in order to buy this lens - the 25mm f/1.7 lens from Panasonic. And after a year of general use in videography and photography, I have come to the conclusion that this lens is the BEST VALUE lens for the M43 system

Bro I have the same camera and looking at getting this lens. Your video is nice and clear...Do you mind sharing your settings?

I bought this lens like new open box for $70. Not sure how I feel about it though. The AF is slow and kinda loud where a shotgun mic can pick up the focus motor working. It’s not very sharp either, but the bokeh is decent.

Is this a 50mm replacement for the micro 4/3? thank you

Use this lens on a GH4 and GH5, Nice Bokeh and good in low light but autofocus is thrash. Very slow and not accurate. Most times I'll frame a person in the middle and it'll focus on someone far behind the subject. Got frustrated most time and just use on manual focus which makes it a bit odd to use on a gimbal. But for interviews, it's quite good. Well, no more Lumix camera. Man's going to Fujifilm

I do photography with the 25mm with autofocus on a lumix and i think it works fine. I don’t need the focus ring at all

The video says that it is a prime lens, which means that there is no zoom capabilities, and I am wondering how well it works for you without any zoom? I have a MFT Panasonic bridge camera with a 25-600mm lens equivalent so I'm wondering if not having any zoom function will be a problem. Honestly, that is the only thing that is preventing me from purchasing this right now, so I am curious to see how others feel about the no zoom.

@@ian_lewonoi think it just depends on what kind of photos you take, 25-600mm is a huge range. when people buy prime lenses, they're usually for a specific job/role to fit

It's a good lens, but the $99 Olly zoom, with its near perfect midrange, is the best value in our kit :)

@billb8262 3 жыл бұрын

Is it just me? I often hear people say the 50mm in 35mm equivalent is what the human eye sees, but I feel like when I shoot full frame, a 35mm FOV is more what my eye sees and a 50mm is more zoomed in than what my eyes see. Curious how others feel.

@tehMaloWalo 2 жыл бұрын

it may seem zoomed in but you have to consider your eyes have a much wider field of view than the camera does. if you were to expand the field of view to the same as your eyes, the 50mm would match up very well with your eyes.

@billb8262 2 жыл бұрын

@@tehMaloWalo right, but FOV is the difference between zoomed in or not zoomed in. 35mm is a larger FOV than 50mm, so it makes sense that 35mm sees more. Sort of a circular statement, but that's what my point was about a 50mm seeming zoomed in. My eye has a wider FOV than a 50mm lens.

Hang on a minute, you said something very untrue and you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about lens design. You said 'most lenses have a mechanical connection for focusing as opposed to an electronic fly by wire system'. Sorry, only manual focus only lenses use a mechanical connection, and manual lenses are only a tiny fraction of the lens market. Any lens that does autofocus can only do this via electronic command to the camera, which then instructs the focus motor to move. While theoretically possible to put the instruction chip into the lenses this is impractical because the lens would have to be much larger, and would probably require batteries to operate. Many of these AF lenses also have a manual focus function, but it only means that it is you sending the instruction to the focus motor, and goes via the same electronic fly by wire circuitry as the autofocus uses. Olympus has been very clever at developing a manual focus clutch mechanism which introduces a mechanical aspect to the way the focus ring turns, but ultimately it is still the focus motor which is moving lens elements. And Canon does a particularly good manual focus override system, but ultimately the manual components only relate to turning the focus ring. Once you introduce autofocus, all lenses will then be operating electronicaly and using the focus motor. That is why they have to have electrical connections that mate to the similar connections in the camera.
