Feels dated, not recommended
I bought this to have a fast, light, all-around lens. Unfortunately it has major defects. Most of all, the autofocus is erratic and often very slow. I can literally focus manually faster than this one at times. Second, the image quality, while fine, isn't that impressive compared to my other Lumix lenses, including the cheap kit zoom 12-60mm. Finally, under some conditions this shows noticeable purple fringing (chromatic aberration), which is surprising for a prime lens from the OEM.
