The Panasonic 25mm f1.7 lens is a prime lens with an amazing performance-to-price ratio. This is great for shooting videos as well as photographers. In this video, I give you the pros and cons of this lens and show you how well it works for photography and video. All outdoor photo and video was shot with a Panasonic G85, and the indoor clips were shot on the Panasonic GH5. This lens is also known as the H-H025.

Greetings mate and thx for the excellent reviews on this lens. Your video is the only one in hundreds i have watched that actually talk about the distance between you and the camera which is all i wanted to know. My videos are pretty much recorded in a room like you are in this video and i wanted a bokeh effect that the 12-60 f3 isn’t giving me. I have a few of the cheaper manual focus super wide lens with f1.8 but im almost always missing the focus 😂 doing all the focusing of me on my own is so tricky… so thx for the info here.

The 35mm equivalent 50mm lens is something you aspire to. It takes some photographic experience to understand just what it is you’re working with. Most Street Photographers start out with a wide angle lens. 28mm is very popular the same as 35mm which is probably the most popular Street Photography lens and goes a long way to explaining just why the Fujifilm X100 series of cameras are so popular. But for superb artistry, the 50mm is unparalleled. Although you do need to understand just what you can and can’t do with it. To get you started with any 50mm lens, you could do with an understanding of how the art of composition really works. If The Art of Composition is a subject you feel you could do with some help with there are plenty of books on Amazon and KZfaq vids to get you started. Once you have a firm grasp of the basics of The Art of Composition and a basic feel for how the geometry of a picture works, your photography will quickly move up to the next level. It’s not hard and it’s not rocket science. In fact it’s easy and you will be delighted with the results.

Hey, I just bought this lens for my G7. You know that huge knob that turn on the lens, what's it's main function? I mean, whether I turn the know to the left or to the right, nothing changes. The knob does not zoom nor focus. The knob just turns infinitely to either side. I'm lost. I mean, I guess there's a function for the knob but I have not clue whatsoever.
@dvdordie
@dvdordie 5 жыл бұрын
Knob = Focus Ring. Didn't know name when I posted the question. If this is a focus ring, what should my G7 be set to so that I could see the difference when turning the focus ring? I mean, when I press the shutter half way, it auto focuses. Also, if I move the focus point to an item, even without half pressing the shutter, the lens seems to auto focus over time (1~2 seconds). Did I get a lemon or am I using the focus ring wrong?

The 25mm will give you the shallow depth of field but it will look a lot closer to your subject than 14mm will. Set up your 14-140mm to around 25mm and see if you like the field of view. I love the 25mm 1.7 lenses it works great for my needs. If you find it too close, try the 15mm f1.7

I haven't used the 1.4 myself but I did see a lot of people say the difference is minimal wide open. I think the 25 1.4 also has less focus breathing. Again, I haven't tested it myself it's just what I have seen online.

@@GeekyNerdyTechy I watched a comparison video in which they showed wide open images side by side. There was a small difference, but not much, however, I did find my eye gravitating to the 1.4 image constantly. I suspect that mythical "the look" was more present in the Leica than in the 1.7 The video demonstrated that the 1.7 has less chromatic aberration and quite similar bokeh so technically a slightly "better" lens but the fact that my eyes wanted to look at the 1.4 suggests to me that it does have "something" about its rendering that people seem to like. I think I am going to part with the extra cash and get the 1.4 despite logic telling me the 1.7 is more sensible to get.
