According to our camera lens expert
The flat and light design makes this lens pleasant to carry around with you at all times. It's an ideal lens for traveling or in the city.
The large maximum aperture allows you to photograph even in poor light conditions. In addition, you'll have a large depth of field.
The lens doesn't include a lens hood. Because of the wide image angle, unwanted light could be a problem in some situations.
The Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II Black is a compact lens of the 'pancake'-type. The advantage of a flat lens is that it weighs less and you don't have something sticking out of the front of the camera. The camera also looks less threatening with a flat lens, so you can get closer to your subject. With the large maximum aperture of f/1.7, you can also capture good images in poorly lit situations. In addition, you can create a pleasant background blur with this large aperture, so your subject becomes free of the background. The lens has a decent wide image angle, which makes the lens suitable for landscapes, architecture, or use while travelling.
With this beautiful lens you can shoot very sharp pictures. The lens is also very bright, which makes it possible to take pictures in relatively low light with a low ISO setting (and therefore little noise and more sharpness). The focus speed is a bit slower than many other modern lenses. The focal length of 20mm (40mm converted to full frame) makes it a very versatile all-round lens.

I bought this lens because the kit lens (14-42) of my Olympus PEN E-PL3 doesn't allow enough light, and I shoot quite a lot in low light (especially in winter it's only light during the week when I'm working).
It really makes a big difference. When I take a night photo of a scene with artificial light (street lighting), and I use manual focus with focus assist (zooms in digitally to focus more easily), then with the kit lens you see a lot of noise and too little detail to really focus properly . With this 20 mm/1.7 I see much more detail. And many night photos I can even shoot 'handheld'. (Olympus' built-in sensor shift IS probably helps too.)
This lens also comes in handy during the day, you can focus quite close, and due to the large maximum aperture you can play with extremely little depth of field (background faded out) or much more sharpness. This is now my most used lens (of the three: kit lens, Panasonic 45-200 and Panasonic 20/1.7).
