My take on these lenses, comparing image quality and what I use them for. A slideshow with images from each is included. And, a surprise visitor after the end screen.

Some very good points about the 20mm unit focusing, which no one has talked about before. I didn’t know that! I have both and I love the 20mm so I’m selling the 25mm. Although I also love the FoV and fast AF of the 25mm, I can’t seem to justify keeping both as they are too close in focal length. Also a great point about the 14mm focusing faster.

Thank you. Sorry for the late reply. Your comment got automatically held for review for some reason only KZfaq knows and I didn't see it until now.

If I recall correctly I think the 20mm might have been the first MFT lens. For low light I used to like the manual Samyang 12mm f2

I am in the Chicago area and just picked up a gx9 I bought the 14mm, 20mm, 25mm and the 12-32mm. I would love to meet over coffee and talk GXs It seems I might be able to do without the 20mm and use the 14mm for wide angle shooting. What do you think of the 12-32mm ?

Hi Brad, I'm really sorry, this comment got held for review for reasons only YT knows and I just saw it. I think the 12-32 is a really great little lens. As for the 14 vs the 20, I feel if you have the 12-32, the 20mm makes more sense. I had the 14mm but sold it. I have relatively big hands and I found it just too small and was worried I'd drop it.

G'day, mate. Wow. Great explanation regarding the 20mm. Very interesting. Maybe I will have to buy myself a Panasonic. Thanks.

Is it just me or do the 25mm sample shots in this video look much sharper than the 20mm

@ToddBannor 3 ай бұрын

Most people think the 20mm is sharper. Bear in mind trying to judge sharpness on a 1080P video with KZfaq compression probably isn’t the best way to tell. Both of them are sharp enough to get through Alamy QC, where they look at images at 100%
