Panasonic 7-14mm f/4 Images and Mini Review | Boon Vong

I don’t think I’ve posted my thoughts on the Panasonic 7-14mm f/4. I’ve had it for a few years now, and use it for super wide angle shots of interiors of the events/weddings I cover. It has an angle of view similar to the 14-24mm’s of the bigger cameras, but it definitely doesn’t “draw” like them. The micro 4/3 sensor is a different aspect ratio, and much smaller, so all the wider angle lenses render life, people, and architecture in a different way. I still keep it around because it’s so small and handily fits into my small side bag. The mistake with most gear is usually asking too much from a specific tool. This lens is not a good choice to stop low light action, or render pretty portraits–no it’s good for situations like the one below, when you need an edge to edge picture of a room that can be cropped in many ways. With the in body stabilizer on the OMD one can shoot like 1/8 of second to keep the ISO low. Having this small kit in the bag is good for tight situations where you just have no room to back up.
