Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 ASPH

Panasonic's affordable 25mm standard prime for Micro Four Thirds — delivering a natural 50mm full-frame equivalent angle of view with a bright f/1.7 aperture. The ideal walk-around prime for Lumix G and OM System cameras on a budget. Available in both silver and black to match retro-styled bodies.

GearFrame's Take

The best-value standard prime for Micro Four Thirds — compact, capable, and very affordable.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
