Panasonic Lumix S 20mm F2.5 review – a fine, affordable wideangle that’s not just for vloggers

Panasonic's Lumix S 20mm F2.5 wideangle lens is a compact, affordable option for full-frame mirrorless cameras, particularly for users of the Lumix S9. The lens offers a wide field of view, making it suitable for architectural and landscape photography. Its small size and dust- and splash-proof build make it a portable choice for travel.

However, it lacks a built-in hood and suffers from unattractive sunstars. With a minimum focus distance of 18cm, the lens is not ideal for close-up shots. Despite the smaller aperture compared to its competitors, the lens performs well in low light conditions.
