Great review ! Just bought this lens ( I have a Lumix GX85 and I LOVE it !! this will be my fourth lens in my kit ) and I am now really excited to try it out ! Thank you for your honesty ( i.e. " I am NOT a pro ! ) , your fairness and your obvious skill set !
Cool review man. I really appreciated the speed review early :)
Watched the whole video but I loved the "executive summary" at the beginning. Nice work.
Great review. I really like your production/style.
Best quick review for this lens!!
I just bought this lens after your great review (and it seemed only fair to hit you up with a sub). Thanks for the vid, really helpful.
Great review. I’m getting my lens today.
Great review great video! I subbed!!
Wonderful and informative review. Subbed.
Great review!
I have a gh5 and a metabones.
I was between lumix 25mm and canon 50mm.
After lot of videos i found it at the end of your review.
Thanks a lot!
bought this lens about 2 months ago.........and i flipping love this lens. ive had some really nice shots from it and im gonna say it...........my go to now, everytime i go out
Great video thanks.
Thank you for the knowledge drop
Great Lens...I own one . It well made and nice hood too. The black model is nice.
Like all your gear, look after it .
Thanks for the review. I'm looking to buy GH5. It would be first non phone camera. I have no lenses at all. What lens should i go with, the kit lens or something different? I kinda want low light performance but as you said they're expensive. I don't know if i need zoom thought. I would prefer it to have OIS too to match with camera IS.
I thought your hat said virgin for a second
liked the video... I am buying the 25mm but for making videos outdoor which lens would you recommend in a tight bugdet...
Alright even though this lens doesn't have built-in image stabilization if I use this lens on a Lumix G7 along with a gimbal, will I get stabler footage? My main intention is cinematography only, I have a full-frame camera for photography purposes.
Nice. I like it. Thanks.
I am thinking of switching from the nikon d3500 to the Lumix GX80 and using this lens.
Now I'm using the Nikon 35mm. Do you think there is a big difference in the quality of the photo between these two cameras and lenses?
From photos I have seen on the internet I can not discern any difference. Also the plus is that GX80 have on body stabilization very usefull espesially for video.
great vidéo :)
It is a great lens and now Olympus as updated firmware for this lens even better With IBIS what more do you want. I like your review. A fun lens and I can't believe the sharpness!
Great vid. A question. What lens do you use for wedding videos?
Excellent review from a real use perspective! Seems like a no brainer to have this lens. Just wondering if you've encountered any issues with focus shift? This has been widely reported and people seem to find issues of focus accuracy within the F2.8 to 5.6 range (since the camera focuses at F1.7 and then switches to the desired aperture for the picture, and the focal planes don't marry up). The only workaround seems to be to use camera in manual mode and have constant preview switched on such that it forces the camera to focus at the set aperture (although in low light situations it switches to F1.7 for the purposes of accurate focus...quite ironic really!). I'd appreciate your thoughts and observations. Thanks.
thank you Sam. appreciate your kind words.
No i've used this lens for 3 years now, I haven't encountered anything out of the ordinary with the focusing. the focus issues i've encountered are related to the current camera (GH5) and not the lens itself. I've never been very pleased with auto focus in any camera and lens, so I try to use manual focus when I can, and use camera features like "focus peaking" etc.
It's real. I wish I have gone with the Olympus 25mm instead. I will say the Lumix 30mm, is sharp and focus is great -- the 25mm, not so much. You just never know from shot to shot. I would go 30mm in the Lumix line.
I'm using the kit 14-42 for business videos for our YT cahnnell. It's always on a Tripod, about 6'-8' from the person talking. I'm not crazy about the image. It's ok, but I would like a little background blur, and, for our space, the images are always too dark at f4.6 (the lowest setting). Thinking about testing this lens out. Do you think this would suit my situation?
focus by wire doesn't mean, that a wire is pulled, it means, that focus is controlled electronically with the autofocus motor - also this does not have to do anything with the lens extending/shortening while adjusting focus - that's a matter of using an internal vs external focus design, this is internal focusing, which means, that the lens elements inside the lens shift instead of extending the tube
Which lens is need to buy because I will be blogging and holding the camera with my hand because I was gonna buy that one

thank you
G100 with this lens or zv1 for low light video ?
is it good for wedding photography or should I go for 42.5 f/1.7. I have the G85 M4/3
if you know you have lots of room I would go with 42,5.
But if you know that you will be in tight spots, small rooms etc, then 25mm would be a safer bet.
Hi :) Im looking into the same version of the G7 as you have, the KS version right? Looks good with Silver lenses, but having a hard time finding it. What did you do and do you regret having it in silver instead of black (lense)?
No I like the silver. even though I now use the Gh5, ive still kept my silver g7. Because I enjoy using it. its very low weight, and has a mic input.
@@TSTechGear Sounds good:) Where did you get the 25mm 1.7 lense for your g7 in Silver though? I only find it in black, please help.
@@luddekjetil here you go bro: amzn.to/2OkbeQt
@@TSTechGear Thanks :) I were looking at that, even asked amazon if it would fit a G7, but they said no:/ But I guess they seemed clueless about the subject, really polite though:) But you can confirm that this fits a Lumix G7(KS)? :D
@@luddekjetilif its micro four thirds lens.
it will fit any micro four thirds camera (like G7). There is even a comment of someone who used it for his G7.
what would you recommend for getting into music videos?? G7, G85 , or a Canon??? is 4k necessary? Do I need good AF to shoot music videos???
G7 and g85 are good cameras. Canon is known for good skintone colors. But the panasonic cameras are better at 4K and usually have more features. To make good music videos, you need film making skills, if you have that, it doesnt really matter what kind of camera you shoot with. So I suggest, to not worry so much about which camera you get, but to learn to develop the skills you need to make good music videos. Seriously. A skilled film maker will make better music videos than a amateur with the most expensive camera. You see what I mean?
@@TSTechGear I follow you brother...one more question.. is a video monitor necessary if your a serious shooter ??
A pro would say yes.. problem is that no matter how color correct monitor you use, the end users watch on all sorts of screens that don't show the correct colors anyway.
Fire bro
What mount this lens is?
Hi can help me, does this auto focus on olympus EM5?
It auto focuses on all olympus and panasonic micro four thirds cameras.
I am going to try it, in low light. Fits great on a GX7. Good for street's & dead sharp. Got mine for 98 pounds new.
Match this lens with a Panasonic gx camera's are your away.
SO how are the results?
Great Vid #vingin do some more videos, M43 is not dead.
will do. did you see my 14-42 mm review
so whats the non focus by wire autofocus alternative?
Not sure how to call it correctly. But basically mechanical, when you turn the ring it turns zoom or focus even when camera is off.
I got a G80/G85 with no lens and am learing on this lens, I found manual focusing is best but the image quality on this lens is amazing.
I subscribed, where's my gelato?
First few minutes I had my thoughts......... an avalanche of 'rap-like' info....
Then I started to like your style.
You can't really compare an adapted full frame lens to a native 25 lol. The 25 with crop factor gives you around a 50mm view, while an adapted 50mm, in the absence of speedboosters, will give you around a 75mm view, closer to the 85 that is standard for portraiture. In addition, you'll be using only the central part of the lens, meaning you'll be avoiding the corner softness and vignetting you would get on the nifty fifty.
You sold me!
Nice review! I just bought one of these on eBay for $91...looking forward to using it! BTW, what did you use to shoot this video?
Panasonic g7 :)
I purchased one like new open box for $70 😁
@@DennisMeetsWorld where did you buy from?
insane price, where?
Also, throw a few macro tubes on, and you get a great cheap macro lens that's fairly sharp. :)
oh cool tip thanks
So does it work with autofocus on gx7?
works on all micro four third cameras. and yes the autofocus works also.
@@TSTechGear Ok thank you for a very quick reply I've got a Canon 760d with a healthy amount of lesnes but got a Gx7 for my girlfriend a few years ago to play with and have no idea when it comes to micro four thirds to be honest.
Does it focus on olympus omd em 10
Havent tested, but I understand that it does
Yes it does. I use this exact combination of body+lens.
On what lens you record this review?
I think i used the kit lens 14-42..
dont remember. Doesnt look like my current fav, leica 15mm.
@@TSTechGear thank you! 😊
This lens is cheap, but compared to Olympus it has huge focus breathing from f2.8 to f4.0 and, removed form a Panasonic body which removes CA on software, it has important purple fringing and is not much resistant to flaring (Same problem of the PanaLeica F1.4). The Zuiko f1.8 is more expensive, but has none of these problems. It also comes with a lenshood, which is unheard frmm Olympus. It is up to you if the difference in price is worth getting this Panasonic or the Olympus brethren.
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 UA-cam 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. If fact it’s easy and you will be delighted with
the results.
Thanks Chris! :)
So far the best review ive seen for this lens mate. I ordered one for myself...hopefully it gets here by friday as i do nightclub shoots for techno djs ... discover two eleven is my channel if you wanna check it out and maybe recommend some more gear that would be suitable for my needs. I have a gh5 ii
micro third third LOL
love the review and humor
but iam still in the fence between this plasticsonic 25f1.7 vs Olympus 17f1.8
Thank you. :)
I like your cat :-)
get on with it !!.
I find/found the lumix 20mm a better all round lens,sharper ,smaller (pancake),lighter
I have that one too. Comparing the two, the 20mm has a slower auto focus, but I agree with the size. its very nice with gx800 for instance.
@@TSTechGear Which one's autofocus is faster during video?
I really enjoy your video,,,but why "BOOM"
I wonder that myself sometimes... 🤓
Ok, you got my like. It wouldn’t be necessary to ask that often for it... my hint for your next videos would be to get faster to the subject. Yes, I know, nowadays it seems everybody needs to disclaim whatever before starting. But 2 minutes are a bit over. Think about it, make something different there and stick out of the mass. Cheers mate!
👍
