Hello,

A G7 will be mine in a couple of weeks and I'm looking for advice choosing prime lenses.
I am thinking about 2-3 primes in the 14-50mm range. I have read reviews but would like your real life experience. I shoot landscapes, street photography and everyday snaps/portraits of kids and family.

What about these lenses?

Panasonic 14mm F2.5?
Panasonic 42.5mm F1.7, Oly 45mm F1.8, Sigma 30mm F2.8 ?
Everyday lens in the 17-25 range... Leica 25mm F1.4 or, Panasonic 20mm F1.7 perhaps?

Kind regards

Firstly, what is your working budget ?

Bottom end.

Panasonic 14mm, Sigma 19mm, Olympus 45mm

Middle end.

Panasonic 14mm, Olympus 17mm, Olympus 45mm

Top end.

Olympus 12mm, Olympus 17mm, Olympus 45mm

Get the idea.
