    Portrait Lens Bokeh!

    Long length for portrait use. Great for NOT making people uncomfortable when taking pictures since you dont need to be close to them. And because the lens and camera system is small, that minimizes intimidation as well. The autofocus is FAST and silent. Great for stills and video. This lens is NOT appropriate for people wanting to shoot in tight spaces, you need room with this bad boy. Dont even try to capture children moving close up, they wont comply. Get something wider like a 17.5mm (35mm full frame equivalent) for kids and tight spaces. Also, the Bokeh (depth of field) is so shallow (professional) you can blur out undesired backgrounds at will, but be careful, taking group photos will require subjects to be in the same plane or close to it. But that is not unique to this lens alone, but rather the aperture and range of all lenses like this. I would recommend the 25mm 1.7 as a second lens and THEN this lens as the third. The 25mm will be used more often. GREAT at low light!

    Affordable 1.7 with fantastic quality.

    Amazing lens for the price. The 1.7 aperture is quick, very quick. And small enough to fit very well with a couple of other lenses for my gh4. Great and quick prime lens that won't break your wallet.

    Great little lens

    This lens is fast, sharp and does a great job in low light. Then there is the bokeh - just AMAZING! It is a small lightweight lens but the quality is fantastic.

    Recommended piece of kit

    Chances are you're comparing this to the Oly 45 1.8. I borrowed my friend's Oly 45 1.8 for comparison, and they are practically identical for manual focus video use. Auto focus is fast and fairly accurate for stills, but that says more about the camera body than the lens. If you need a fast, portrait lens native to M4/3, this is the one to get if you have a Panasonic body. If you have an Olympus body, get the Olympus.

    Must Have M43

    If you have had a micro 4 thirds system, you'll most definitely hear of this lens. This is a must have for any mirorless camera bag.

However, the LUMIX POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) compensates quickly for super clear shots even when shooting in low-lit situations. Fast Auto Focusing - 240 fps Drive Capability The lens and camera communicate at up to 240 fps to take maximum advantage of the cameras high-speed AF system. Its inner focus drive system and stepping motor is smooth and silent during both photo and video recording.

Bundle - Panasonic - PANASONIC*15/1.7 LEICA LENS F/M4/3,BL K

Panasonic H-x015 LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm / F1.7 ASPH. (35 mm camera equivalent: 30 mm) for the LUMIX G range, based on the Micro Four Thirds standard, which is both compact and lightweight. The new LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm / F1.7 ASPH. allows photographers to capture supreme daily life pictures with beautiful bokeh.

The lens incorporates a superior inner focus system, which enables excellent resolution and contrast from close-up to infinity. The inclusion of a newly developed stepping motor makes the focusing action smooth, silent and quicker for use in both photo and video recording. Notably the performance of AF is by far superior to the phase-difference AF when fast lenses with a smaller F value are used. It is also compatible with the sensor drive at max.240 fps to take maximum advantage of the high-speed AF of LUMIX G cameras. The LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm / F1.7 ASPH. comes equipped with aperture ring and AF/MF switch for direct, intuitive operation.
