Lumix 25mm 1.7 vs Leica 25mm 1.4 | Micro Four Thirds Lenses - Which Is Best? 

You're not the only one! 😂❤

25mm 1.7 is also my first lumix lens :-) what is your first favorite lens?

@@Glemt9 mine is the sigma 56mm. Strange FL but I really enjoy it

lol right? What kind of review lacks a side by side? 😂

42.5mm f1.7 its way to go and if theres more budget, consider super wide laowa lens 7.5mm and thats all you need

Not 100% sure on the 25mm mk2 but apparently it does have a slightly different motor in it for the focus by wire. The 15mm LUMIX G Leica does feel a lot smoother than the other LUMIX lenses though.

​@@Pmike40425mm Lumix G is buttery smooth and it seems to adjust focus quickly if you're moving quickly and slowly if you're moving slowly. It's also consistent. Love this lens. I find it hard to believe the Leica could be 5x better given how decent the $150 Lumix is (AF blows me away, beats the snot out of other lenses I've used). If you don't need the weather sealing, the cheap one does fine. There's some words about the Lumix causing there to be crop on 4K video but I'm not seeing that and been using the Lumix 25mm for TONS of video.

I own the lumix 25 1.7 and want to change to Leica now. Two reasons: sharpness (see other comparisons) and manual LINEAR focus that Leica (only v. II) features, and not Lumix!

You’ll be pleased with either I think. I haven’t noticed a whole lot of difference between the 1.4 and 1.7 for video.

Thanks! I will go for the exchange for the 1.7 :)

@@mouseykins01 what about for photo ?

@@orangejjay lol bro this was 3vyrs ago

Could you explain a bit more? Both lenses reviewed are 25mm. Why is there more of a crop in what you are discussing?

@@rjkral in one of sultanoblogs videos he demonstrates that the leica lenses have slightly more glass area and hence capture a bit more field of view

@@rjkral leicas have a bit more glass - sultanblog demonstrates this in one of his videos which showed a slightly larger image than the cheaper lenses - hence on my g85 which has a crop in 4K the leica lenses help lessen the additional crop

gracias por su ayuda Saludos desde PERU

wondering the same thing, i want to do some timelapses / hyperlapses in my car in some low light situations

​@@anubiasaban f/1.4 has a half stop advantage over f/1.7, so instead of an ISO 3200, you can get away with an ISO 2200. If you get the Olympus 25mm f/1.2, then you get a full stop advantage over the f/1.7, so you can use ISO 1600 instead. For an even brighter option, a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM made for the Canon EF mount is $300 used, pair it with a $100 Viltrox EF-M2 II 0.71X speed booster will result in a 21.5mm f/1, which has a two stops advantage over f/1.7 and you can get away with ISO 800, albeit being a 43mm full frame FOv rather than 50mm, but with a cheap G85/G95 it will be perfect due to the 4K crop.

Get outta here. This is $150. How much is a Meike cine lens? Is it $150? And has their QC gotten better because they've got a history of inconsistent lens quality. For $150 you get silent AF, buttery MF, sharp video, sharp photo, and an overall excellent nifty fifty lens. Meike can't do half these things even at $150.

NO NOISE!! 🎉

G7 is a micro four thirds camera, yes? If it is, it'll fit.

To be fair, even if it's fragile, it costs 4 times less. So you can always just buy one again, I doubt that I'd break 3 in 5 years !

@@ReggieVdz i got the 1.4 on ebay mint condition for $250, got lucky! didn't go for the mk II though.. those are like $450 and not really worth an extra $200 for the weather seal. I have the 12mm 1.4 that's weather sealed so that'll be my go to for vlogging in any situation since it's wide angle too. low light situations is where u'll see a bigger difference.. definitely noticeable when i switch from 1.4 to 1.7 without moving the camera pointing in a dark area

Agreed - have started compressing the audio in newer vids

@@mouseykins01 Hi, loved the video.. However, what is compression in regards to the tone of the audio? It sounds perfect to me...?

​@@michalwalksA compressor is an audio effect that adds some "oomf" to audio. Typically whenever you hear narration audio that's gone through post, you're hearing it with a compressor effect added. ❤

Isn't the whole point of the video to enable you to have more information to make your own decision on that?
