Panasonic 7-14mm f/4 Lumix G Vario Micro Four Thirds

Panasonic 7-14mm f/4 Lumix G Vario Verdict

This specialised lens is more than capable of producing very high quality images with very good sharpness across the frame. Although flare may be an issue caused by the large bulbous front element, so long as a little care is taken to avoid the situations where this may occur, it is only a small issue when compared with the excellent performance and build.

With the price hovering around £1000, the price alone may be off-putting for all but the most serious Micro-Four Thirds shooters. Although the performance is excellent in most areas, this lens may still be confined to a small niche, who can justify such a purchase.

Outstanding sharpness in a lens that's lightweight, well built and offers low CA levels.
