Having long since promised myself I'd get a fast prime (with autofocus) after a few years of using a converted Canon FD lens, I was torn between the 25mm f1.7 and the Leica f1.4. I decided that discretion is the better part of my wallet and went with the f1.7 and I have to say it was a great choice.

I have the LUMIX G7 and have been using my 12-60mm kit lens since I got it. I ordered this prime lens as it was highly rated, highly reviewed and I needed a prime for it. I was not disappointed. After just an hour or so of use, you really can see the quality of this lens shine.
