Magic Bokeh, Beautiful Build: Panasonic Leica 25-50mm F1.7 Review

The Micro Four Thirds system is known more for its compact size than the bokeh. Similarly, zoom lenses are known for narrower apertures and less sharpness than a lens with a single focal length. The Panasonic Leica 25-50mm f1.7 is a lens that aims to challenge both stereotypes. Nearly as bright as the brightest primes, the 25-50mm brings some serious light-gathering prowess with a softly blurred background to boot. To top it off, the sharpness rivals that of a prime lens.
