If you had to choose one panasonic prime lens for your mft camera - would you get this one (25mm) or the 20mm f1.7? main use: portrait, night, street

The 20mm focus speed is not terrible. It is a bit loud and not suitable for video. I have both and like both. I find I use the 20mm more often. The Normal Lenses, I never really liked all that much. Just because it is the normal view for an eye doesn't mean it is all that useful. I like 42.5mm for portrait, and one of my most used lenses is the 7-14mm. Back to the 20 mm. You can use it for portrait but it's not as good as the longer lens. My recommendation. Get the 20mm and add another lens later.

Is this compatible with the DMC-G6KK

Yes, it and all other lenses made for "micro four-thirds" ("MFT", "micro 4/3", etc.) are compatible with all MFT bodies in terms of the bayonette mount, although Panasonic and Olympus have different approaches about what functions to put in their lenses vs. in their bodies instead - so, in general, many Olympus lenses work better on Olympus bodies, and many Panasonic lenses work better on Panasonic bodies (even though they share the same mount and electrical contacts).

Will it work with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5?

Yes, I actually used it on my GF5... it does look very disproportionate, but it works the same as on any other m 4/3 camera

Will this work on a dji x5 or the x5s thanks

Yes it will. You just need to get the weight balance correct. Any micro 4/3 lens will fit but getting the weight balanced is the big problem. You can make this lens work by using the lens hood and adding weight if needed. The field of view is more narrow so things will look closer and you can see more shake in the videos because of it.

Great for the money

Does what you'd expect: no fireworks, but sharpness is more than acceptable, image stabilization works great and it's very light. Comes with lens hood too.

Overview While this isn't my favorite lens (that would be the Olympus 45mm/1.8), this is currently a very close second. This is an excellent lens, especially for low light. The only reason why this isn't my favorite lens is that for my particular uses, the 45mm is a more useful focal length. For most people, however, the 25mm is probably a way better focal length. I don't believe you can get a faster lens than this one at such a low price. The Good Parts * Inexpensive at just over $200 * Good all around focal length for most people * Sharp and good color * Metal mount * Fast F1.7 aperture means you can use a lower ISO in low light * Good AF speeds (your mileage will vary, depending on the camera you are using) * Comes with lens hood * Lightweight * Good bokeh * Well made Could Be Better * A little chunky (volume-wise, it's bigger than my 45mm)

Replaced my 14-42 on my OM-D EM5 Mk2 with this lens. Considerably larger but better range and still quite light. Crisp and good contrast. Very happy

Simple review: I have been a photographer for 45+ years. I have shot with Leica, Canon, Nikon, and more. This is, without doubt, one of the finest lenses I have experienced. Sharp, sharp, sharp all the way to the corners, at any focal length. Well built and compact. Hey gang, that don't come much better than this.
