[Leica] IMG: The Little Lens That Could

[Jim Nichols]

As we mix and match gear these days, I continue to post to both the LUG 
and the OM galleries.  These are of probably of more interest to my OM 
friends.

I recently acquired a first generation (?) Micro 4/3 camera body to 
support my collection of Olympus lenses.  I was so impressed with the 
small size and weight of this camera that I decided I needed a small 
lens to match it.  I did some research and decided to go with the 
Panasonic Lumix 20mm/1.7 Asph.  It lives up to its reputation.  Here are 
a few examples:

An image shot from the ground, showing details in a cropped image.  They 
are replacing the 60 yr old pole I pictured sometime earlier.  To me, 
details are impressive.

One of several pencil drawings by the late Don Northcutt that grace my 
walls.  This is an early Swiss round barn that existed in a community 
south of us fifty years ago, and is framed in barn wood.  It was shot on 
the wall with room light.

I am quite impressed with it for general use.

All are best viewed LARGE.
