Characterised by its slender profile, the Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH. black is a compact prime lens, slightly wide-angle equivalent to 40mm for Micro 4/3 mirrorless cameras. Its bright maximum aperture of f/1.7 offers notable focus control for working with shallow depth of field techniques and also presents advantages in challenging lighting conditions. The optical design incorporates a pair of aspherical elements to suppress spherical aberrations and distortion, ensuring high sharpness and precise rendering. Individual elements have also received multi-coating treatment to control surface reflections and flare, thereby improving contrast in bright lighting conditions.



- Prime lens slightly wider than normal, designed for Micro 4/3 mirrorless cameras and offering an equivalent focal length of 40mm.

- The bright maximum aperture of f/1.7 is advantageous for working in low-light conditions and also allows better depth of field control for working with selective focus techniques.

- Two aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion to achieve greater sharpness and resolution.

- Individual elements have received multi-coating treatment to effectively reduce reflections and ghosting, thereby improving contrast when working in bright lighting conditions.

- The autofocus motor supports the camera's contrast detection for precise focusing performance. AF can also be controlled manually for finer adjustment.

- The pancake format measures only 2.54cm thick, making it ideal for daily use and travel.

- The seven-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to pleasant bokeh quality.
