Hey guys , I tried posting this on reddit but I’m purchasing a g9 soon. I used to have a have a 12-35 mki on my trusty g7 and I liked it .The images were sharp to me and I liked how compact it was, but I didn’t love how close I had to get to my subjects for usable bokeh.i found the range pretty decent, sometimes I wished for a little more reach, but I also liked how it challenged me in this regard. I would mainly use the lens for travel, video , and maybe small portrait work at 25mm? Basically I want to Know if The 25 is waaay sharper and if the bokeh is way better . Can you guys please give your thoughts and opinions? Thanks

They are very different lenses regarding fov,aperture, size weight and cost. The 10-25mm optically is better across the board

The difference in size and weight is significant and worth thinking about especially as travel is one of your use cases. But it really is a cracker of a lens
