Panasonic 20mm pancake on G1 and 30x Zeiss Diascope
Hello,
I am Leo and since two years I have much fun with digiscoping.
Nowedays I use the Lumix G1 with standard kit lens on a Zeiss Diascope 85 with fixed 30x ocular and I am very satisfied with this equipment.
This is my first post and with that I wnt to ask about the new pancake that Panasonic sels, the H-H020 G 1,7 ASPH 20mm. I am interested in this lens in spite of the fact that I become fairly good results with the standard kit lens 14-45 that I use. But I haven been told that this pancake is even better.
I read a post from Roger that this lens works well in combination of the Diascope with 30x ocular. I mean, that combination shows no vignetting.
Now I know that the standard kit lens has a totaly internal focusing system. The front of the lens is not turning when focusing en the front does not move in and out when focusing.
This I think is a great advantage of this lens with that fairly good and quick focusing system.
My question now is, does the pancake focus exactly the same as the kit lens. Is the front of the pancake staionar or does it move when focusing?
I hope someone can make it clear to me, thanks in advance.
Leo
