Assuming a truly thin profile of just 0.8 -thick the Panasonic LUMIX G 14mm f/2.5 ASPH II Lens is a sleek wide-angle prime designed for Micro Four Thirds system cameras. Offering a 28mm-equivalent focal length this lens takes on a wider-than-normal perspective to benefit its use in a broad variety of shooting situations.
