New Panasonic 25mm f1.7 On Sale

The new Panasonic 25mm f1.7 is on sale at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1182677-REG/panasonic_h_h025k_25mm_f_1_7_lens_for.html for $99 it's on preorder, for Canadian customers it's a steal in comparison to the price in Canada. On A Panasonic GH4 you are getting a 50mm equivalent prime lens at f3.4 This is not a referral link.

That is a nice lens and price.

Interesting about the difference in f stop.
I didn't know that happened, I knew about the focal length difference.

I just ordered one, here is a video by

Tony Northrup has a good explanation of crop factors.

I paid full price for it a few months ago when it came out. Too bad I missed the sale but it's a nice lens.

Normstock, thanks for the info on the sale just bought one at $99 thats a good price. I hope I like? I've been looking for a 50mm, I use to film with my Canon 50mm 1.4 all the time but on my GH4 its a 100mm. Can't wait to try it out. Also the video on the crop factor was interesting thanks for sharing.

Your welcome filmmaster I hope I like it too, I have the 20mm f1.7 pancake which has been a good lowlight lens, thinking this 25mm might be better? Like you I have the Canon 50mm f1.4 which is a great lens and I used it a lot especially in lowlight with the 5D2. I also use a lot of old Nikkor lenses adapted to M4/3.

I ordered one. Can't wait to try it out.

I wonder when B&H are going to ship the lens.

I think I recall they listed 12/3 as their next shipment arrival date.

Thanks
