First reviews of the Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 standard prime lens now available online with plenty of sample images.

Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 ASPH ($249 – Amazon | B&H | Adorama) lens for mirrorless cameras with Micro Four Thirds image sensors has an iris diaphragm with 7 rounded blades for a pleasing rendering of the out-of-focus areas. An inner focus drive system and stepping motor designed for smooth, silent operation work with the camera’s high-speed, high-precision contrast-detect AF system for both photo and video recording.

From PhotographyBlog conclusion :

As you’d perhaps expect given the budget price tag, build quality is merely acceptable rather than great, and the need to remove a plastic ring from the front of the lens in order to fit the lens hood is annoying. It is very fast to focus on the DMC-GX7 camera that we tested it with, though, and almost virtually silent too, making it well-suited to both stills and video. This lens is also very small and lightweight considering the f/1.7 maximum aperture.

Weighing in at 125 grams, the new 50mm equivalent Micro Four Thirds lens features 8 elements in 7 groups, including 2 aspherical elements and 1 ultra-high-refractive-index element.
