Hello all, I am planning on getting a Panny G7 in the next few weeks. I'm going to be getting it with the 14-42 kit lens and soon after buying a telephoto. I want to get a prime lens for my camera both for better low light performance and also for a simpler and smaller package. I am looking into sub- 500 dollar primes which I feel has a good selection. What is the best prime for the job? Thanks!

Depends on what you're using the prime for. A 15mm f/1.7 is the ideal lens for street, indoor photography, and video. A 42.5 f/1.7 is a great portrait lens with huge bokeh ability. Both are small.

Thesw two are my constant carry kit.  I always have mu gx85 and these two lenses with me.
