Panny Leica 15mm w/EM5.3, E-PL9

I had forgotten that this lens has one of those "magical looks" that is so nice. And small.

Seems a bit pricey but consider you do get a metal hood and it's quality draws high.

EM5.3 from tonight. Streets mostly deserted as it's late and everyone keeping their distance. E-PL9 shots from today follow.

15 is an incredible lens.

Love the hood and it was mounted since I unbox this lens... 😃

I have the DJI version , which is supposed to be exactly the same

Nice and sharp

What set this lens apart from other wide-angle ish lens are the nice rendering of the background and its slightly warmer rendering of color.  "Slightly" is the key word here so it is done with subtlety .  All PL lenses I have owned, including the 45/2.8, have these characteristics, and they are well worth the price.

PL15mm on a g80.

I like the extra aperture ring. One thing you need is check time to time it's position.😉

Due the fast aperture is it a great lens for evening en night shots.

Good overal sharpnes and great colors and contrast rendering.

Same as my PL12-60mm. Somehow the PL's  have just more pop then the lumix lenses.

Totally agree with that extra "pop" comment.

I haver the PL 25, 15 and 8-18 and love how the images look from those lenses and my GX9.

I have the P 12-60 and am seriously considering getting the PL version just because I love the character in my other PL lenses.

I find the lens hood on my PL15 is wobbly/loose. I bought it new and it has never left me with much confidence for it to stay on the lens,.. that being said I like the look go the lens hood and would leave it on if I could.

I recently ordered a few step down/ set up filter rings to see if I can create my own hood.

There was a recent thread on this.

I am not sure how others will expect it, mine is not more loosely fit than hoods of my other Panny lenses.

But I found if the model number was on the upper side, it was on the wrong mounted position and despite of the click, it was rather loose.
