Here, in a nutshell, is why I really like the Panasonic 20mm F1.7. At the kinds of working distances you encounter in social situations, the lens creates this nice 3d effect. Here, the lens is stopped down a tad to F2.0.
I wish that I could claim photographic mastery, but this was a simple snapshot at a social gathering. It helps that it was outdoors and that the background was far away, but there’s something about this lens and the Micro Four-Thirds sensor size that just works…
