Once you go ultrawide, each mm translates to a huge difference in field of view.
Haha.. the Panny 20mm f/1.7 isn't that expensive, and it's very sharp. I use it for probably 80% of my GF3 shots.
Some how,20mm with F1.7 I'll go for it.
After researching, I find having these lens with wide aperature can walk the world already.
range are
a super wide(7-14+-mm),for dramatic effect
a standard 20-40+-mm, indoor or potraits
and a 50-80+-mm, boken? or some kiddy activites or marco....
Combine cost for these babes... No to mentioned little here and there....
Maybe I shld start a poll on, "Do Shooter fully declare the full cost to their spouse". hahahahaha(joking only)
Hi Kit,
Aside from the F, F 2-2.5 shld be fast anyway compare to the F3.5 etc.
What you mean by the perspective different though the len difference is 2mm.All the while,i see the diff of 3-5mm the picture looks the same
Can trouble you,
you can any photo to share resemble what you mentioned. easier to understand,for me.....tks
I am a user of the voigtlander 25f0.95 great lens IMHO, i would probably get the to be released 17.5mmf0.95 to go as a package
mNg17.5mm F0.95
mNg17.5mm F0.95
I just checked on this thread on the User's Review after a long time ago. I think it will benefit from some updating, lol

Not the best examples but these are the only ones I have in the office at the moment. 1st photo was shot with the 14mm and 2nd photo with thw 12mm. Both cranes although different but are similar in size (width wise).
In both instances, distance I was from the crane is almost the same. The most obvious difference would be the foredround i.e. driver's cabin of the cranes. The photo taken with the 14mm has a more compressed view. On the contrary, photo taken with the 12mm is more "stretched" and the crane cabin looks "wider". That's the difference I was talking about and its known commonly as perspective distortion.
Vice versa, objects in the background will appear smaller on the wider lenses. You can't really see this on my photos because the distance between the flats and where I was standing is different in these instances.
When used well, wider lenses give you dynamic compositions which is useful in some genre of photography.

Haha OF COURSE we declare the full cost!
The panny 20mm is a good choice. This is equivalent to 40mm which is a standard focal length. Of course if you don't mind springing more $$$ there's the Pana-Leica 25mm.
Wow Kit.:thumbsup:
Thanks for it.
Truly,picture say a thousand words... Got it... wow.... :thumbsup:

Luckily this topic was not closed as sugguested by the "founder".:bsmilie::dunno:
I uses
20mmf1.7
45mm f1.8
Would denifinately go for 20mm or 25mm. One of the best in m4/3.
In the near future would add a 14mm or the 12mm. Hope 3rd party brands will come out this range too.

Hahahaha you didn't think I was serious did you. XD
You have the exact same primes as I do.. excellent choices! I think you should go for the 12mm.. the 14mm isn't really very wide angle. Just 28mm equiv.
If you're looking for a zoom the 14-42 PZ X is excellent. When switched off it's almost the same size as the 20mm!! Excellent IQ too.
Ok, how much?? Is it some math here?sound ex..
Hi bro, i am a rangefinder shooter so 35mm and 50mm prime are my goto lenses(m4/3 format 17.5mm / 25mm). For 14mm is too wide for my type of shooting. I a "Bokeh" kind of guy so would prefer fast aperture lenses. I have a olympus m.zuiko 9-18mm to cover the wide angle side and a nikkor 105mm to cover tele side.
