Welcoming another standard prime – Panasonic Lumix 25mm f/1.7 Review

By

A permanent member in our collection of Micro Four Thirds lenses is the Panasonic 25mm Leica DG Summilux f/1.4. We spotted it second-hand at our local camera store in Italy and having very few lenses of our own at the time, immediately scooped it up. Over the years, it has proven a reliable companion for both work and casual photography thanks in no small part to its compactness and fast 1.4 aperture.

The calm after the storm – Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 Review

By

Following two very wild weeks of incessant storms and gale-force winds, the Welsh weather now seems to have reverted to its “ordinary” self, which basically means a healthy mix of sun, cloud and rain. A good thing too, as otherwise I probably wouldn’t have been able to finish my review of the Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 – the risk of being blown out to sea was too great! 🙂

Semi-wide in wild Welsh weather – Panasonic Leica 15mm f/1.7 Review

By

As a lover of landscape photography, I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for small wide-angle primes. This is why I was very excited when we had the chance to test out the premium Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7, a semi-wide angle lens for the Micro Four Thirds system.

Unfortunately, during the two weeks I had with the lens, the Welsh coast was hit with the remnants of not one, but two large storms off the Atlantic, causing gail-force winds, flooding, persistent heavy rain and what people have called “Foamageddon,” referring to the huge amounts of snow-like sea foam that engulfs the promenade on a daily basis. So, be forewarned: you may see quite a bit of wild weather in this review!
