Re: Does anyone still use Panasonic 20mm f/1.7?

I still got my 20mm 1.7 but I rarely used it since buying the 15mm 1.7.

Back in the day I used to pair it with the 14mm 2.5 and it did make a nice pocketable combo. However, the 15mm 1.7with it faster aperture killed the needs for such combos and I could pair the 15mm with a longer focal range prime. However, combining the 20mm 1.7 with the 42mm 1.7 does make an effective team. However, Covid and the lockdown made that combo useless.

I'm going to a vintage car show which also involves car racing. I'm planning to bring the 20mm 1.7 on the first day. In the past I used to take the 15mm, 25mm and the 42mm. However, this year I will allow the GH5 + 12-60 to do the majority of the stationary cars. However, I'll pair the G9 with the 20mm when not by the track.
