I’ve wanted to get a simple, wide, bright, fixed length lens for my LUMIX GH5 and this one is great! Having a autofocus-manual focus switch is great, and having iris maual-auto controls takes me back to 35mm manual film cameras. The lens is so physically small it looks kinda’ funny but produces sharp corner to corner images. What does not get stated in the lens’ description is that there are two sets of lens cap configurations that come with the lens. One is a simple 46mm outer ring with standard snap on cap, the other is a nice lens hood with a rubber cap that covers the end of the lens hood. I’m using the latter and really like the look and feel! The lens is equal to a 28mm lens in 35mm film cameras focal length, which isn’t fisheye wide, but super useful! I was going to buy “off brand” but glad I didn’t with this lens as it is excellent!
Also comes with a little lens bag with drawstrings. At f1.7 wide open at night the stars look great in Timelapse. Happy with this lens!

My favorite MFT lens
Let's get a few things out of the way -First, the lens definitely feels great but you won't mistake it for an actual Leica M lens. Second, I believe it's the only lens that carries the Summilux name but is an f/1.7 rather than a f/1.4 so that's a bit... odd. Finally, with it being 15mm (a 30mm equivalent on a full frame camera) it's a bit too wide for portraiture or consistent shallow depth of field and this is before the mild barrel distortion comes into play.Having said that, this may be my favorite lens for my GH5 (or any micro four thirds camera). It's absolutely tiny that make me want to pick up a rangefinder Lumix just for a smaller package. The lens hood is metal and feels really sturdy. Then we get to the image quality - The sharpness and contrast is wonderful. The bokeh is creamy. And while I don't want to say it has the "Leica Look" there is just something that just feels right with the photos it takes.The photos I took are terribly boring but are taken wide open at f/1.7. If you go up half a stop the image becomes significantly sharper but I don't mind how it looks as is.

On an Olympus OM-1 body, this lens (Panasonic Lumix 15mm, f1.7) creates an overwhelming amount of chromatic aberration (CA) purple fringing in high contrast areas at f1.7 to f4.0. Fixing it in postprocessing is easy and mostly effective. However, the CA correction can affect colors in other areas of your image. The lens is sharp and has very fast auto focusing. This lens is likely best used on a Panasonic camera.
