Re: Does anyone own the Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 II?

Like toronto1818, I too have the version 1.  It's sharper than my kit O14-42II and f2.5 comes in very useful for indoor/lowlight shots.  However, my O25mmf1.8 is consistently sharper but IMO that is not a fair comparison.

I got mine used($160) and TBH, I won't pay full price eventhough I use it more than my other prime's, especially with a 0.76x converter.  I'd buy it again(used) because of its pancake size - I recently added a 15mmf1.8 which is starting to see more use over the 14mm except when I need the wide converter to get me 10.6mm FL in a compact form.
