Panasonic 20mm f1.7 review at Photozone

Panasonic's critically acclaimed 20mm f1.7 pancake lens is facing the evaluation squad at Photo Zone. What did they find out? Singing the praises or throwing icy cold water on the fire? Or somewhere in-between? Read on through to find out what they found out :) The "base" camera for the test including the full-size samples on the last page of the review is the Panasonic GF1.

Panasonic 20mm f1.7 review by Steve Huff

It is pancake-season at Steve Huff Photo, where they have published a review of the critically-acclaimed Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens. In a case showing the "systemness" of Micro Four Thirds, Steve reviewed the lens on the Olympus E-P2 :)

Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake review at PhotoZone

It's pancake day at PhotoZone as they have just posted their review of the Panasonic 20mm f1.7. This is their standard three-page review format, with full-size samples and conclusions on the last page. We won't reveal them here as usual. The "carrier" for the test was the Panasonic GF1.

SLRGear reviews the Panasonic 20mm f1.7

dpreview did not hold the syrup when they were reviewing the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake, so now, the question is, what did SLR Gear think of the lens?

The answer can be found in their brand new review that was posted earlier today! No spoilers here, so be sure to check it out.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but can Panasonic handle another success? ;-)

Lumix 20mm f1.7 tested by dpreview.com

Let them have pancakes! Both the E-P1 and the GF1 serve as "hosts" in the just posted Panasonic GF1 review at dpreview.com. This is a lens that will likely appeal to every M43rds user, since one of the main promises and premises of M43rds is compact-size and there is nothing more compact in terms of lenses than a pancake lens (other than a Coke-bottle-bottom).

So if you are interested in the GF1, be sure to check the gallery with pictures taken with it and the pancake - you can find them on the last page of the review!

First Panasonic 20mm f1.7 review is out

It's party time with pancakes! Photo Review, which also just reviewed the GF1 camera, has also completed their review of the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens. Yes, that is the pancake lens! As usual, we won't spoil their findings here, check it out to find out :-)

The lens is currently available for pre-order at Amazon for the list price of $400.
