It took a perfect storm of life developments for me to fall in love with this lens. When I bought it a couple years ago, I'd only shoot raw. When I took pics with this camera, I was frustrated by how little detail I got when compared to my more professional lenses. I loved the form factor and integrated lens cap, but I just couldn't really get into it. Then I had a child and I wanted to get the pictures backed up asap and not spend time editing them in lightroom. So it was on to JPEGS when taking casual photos. THEN Panasonic updated the S5ii firmware to support LumixLab and added the option to set a dedicated LUT button on the camera. Suddenly, I could add dozens of LUTS to grade my JPEGs in camera and have great looking photos without fuss. So on a recent trip to New Orleans, I wanted to take pictures without lugging around my big Lumix 50mm, plus I wanted to really try my hand at some street photography, so I thought I'd give this another shot. I loaded up a bunch of Kodak film emulation LUTS and added some luma grain to really drive home the old school film camera look. I set the focus to infinity, set my camera to aperture priority and just let er rip. It was so freeing not worrying about aperture, shutter speed, or focus. If I had to crank the ISO, I didn't mind if it added grain. I didn't mind that most things weren't in focus. It was purely about getting shots. Snap a few and pop it right back in my bag. I used to be upset about what this camera isn't, but now I love it for what it is. Sometimes people think of star ratings as comparing all lenses against one another. I think that's silly. This lens is wonderful as a 100 dollar pancake. It's so smartly designed and fun to use. I now carry it everywhere.

Great Framing
