Re: My final test of the Pany 42.5mm F/1.7

Thanks, I have the 14-45 too and the 45 f1.8. I mainly shoot landscapes too and came to the same conclusions as you. The 45 is slightly sharper then the 14-45 @45mm but only at f5.6 and f8. Wide open and up to f2.8 it renders very nicely but not sharp edge to edge. At f4 it is about equal to the 14-45. I am not sure I remember correctly but the 14-45@45 is best at f8.

Thanks for the test, it is much appreciated!
