Micro four thirds marches on
Panasonic Revises LUMIX G 20mm / F1.7 Lens
Panasonic has just released a revised lens today for their G-series
of Micro Four Thirds digital cameras. The LUMIX G 20mm / F1.7 II ASPH
(model H-H020A) is more compact and lighter than the previous
incarnation. It supports Panasonic's Contrast AF for "high precision
auto focusing," features a durable metal mount, and uses multi-coated
lens elements that "minimize ghosts and flare to further enhance its
optical performance."
The
20mm lens (equivalent to 40mm on a 35mm film camera or full-frame DSLR)
uses two aspherical lenses to "minimize both distortion and chromatic
aberration." The only real catch is that, when recording video, if you
leave Continuous AF on, you will hear some noise. Panasonic recommends
leaving AF off for video.
The LUMIX G 20mm / F1.7 II ASPH will be available mid-July (2013) for around $399.
