Two of our favourite Mirco Four Thirds lenses have been given new reviews — the legendary, must-have, king of low light Lumix 20mm f/1.7 pancake, and the new kid on the wide-angle-zoom-block, the tiny M.Zuiko 9-18mm f/4-5.6.

The 20/1.7 has been reviewed by LensTip, according to the motto “better late than never” — considering it’s now been on the market for about a year already. But, if you want to be taken serious as a lens review site, you’ve got to take a look at this lens. There’s no way around it. Why? Simply because it’s the lens for Micro Four Thirds, being small, fast, and optically excellent, and because it’s the pancake lens at the moment, being small, fast, and optically excellent. But if you need this expressed in numbers to be convinced, take a look at LensTip’s review.

The M.Zuiko 9-18, the latest wide-angle zoom for Micro Four Thirds, has been looked at by the German website digitalkamera.de. Sadly, their reviews aren’t available for free. But if you have a PayPal or ClickandBuy account, you can download it for a fee of € 1,40. The 9-18 is another must-have for anyone who owns a MFT camera, as it is reported to be very good, especially considering it’s merely half the size and less the price of the Lumix 7-14mm f/4. Here’s digitalkamera.de’s verdict: “All in all an astonishingly high and even performance for this focal range, a highly recommendable super wide angle zoom.” Here’s the link to their review notice.
