Hi everyone,

Recently I just got myself into m43 system by getting GH4, ...I'm not a video guy by any means ( I may get to it someday ) ,but I just like the camera so much that I would like to invest into the lens a bit. So far I have Pana 25mm 1.7 and I love it, however I would like something narrower. I'm torn between Oly 17mm 1.2, Sigma 16mm 1.4 or Pana 15mm 1.7. Weather sealing would be welcome in my case since this would be my to go lens.

You say you want a narrower lens but all the lenses you've mentioned are wider.  So I'm guessing you're after a wider field of view?  Of those lenses, I think only the Oly is weather sealed.

What's your opinion, is anyone using any of those lenses on GH4 body or any Lumix body?

I love the 15/1.7 with my cameras (Panasonic and Olympus) but haven't tried the other two.  The Sigma and Olympus are too big for my usage and f/1.7 is fast enough for me.  More is always better but not at the cost of increased size (IMO).
