Getting Started

QUOTE(Monya Meow Meow @ Jul 30 2019, 02:05 PM) Is it worth getting the PL 15mm f1.7 to replace my 20mm pancake especially for indoor low-light shooting? Side track a bit, is the focusing of 20MM loud and slow? I'm thinking to get one. I used to have Oly 17MM F2.8, the focusing literally SCARED the shit out of me, so loud and so slow !!

I wouldn't call it loud but it does make a sound and in low-light indoors it tends to hunt a lot. Slow being one of the reasons I will be upgrading to the 15mm PL.

PL 15mm is bestest lens for streetshooting liao
fast, small and light
and yeah the 20mm was a very old m43 tech lens, so the focusing noise a bit annoying, just like the 25mm PL

Does lens affect the color as well because my 12-60 and 20 f1.7 seems to give different color tones

To my eyes, even Olympus PRO and PREMIUM lens have slight different color ( more like the color richness )

I guess there is no one size fits all but I find the GX85 colors to be a bit dull and cold hence I used custom standard with NR -3, CON +1, SAT +2 and gave the pictures a bit more "pop"
