Hi all of my friends,
I've just tested this lens with my Panasonic DMC L1.
It worth for my bucks 20 USD with its quality.
Thank you for visiting me. 
I have many problems about White balance with this camera especially in strong light like this photo.

It's a good $20-worth but the image quality is not as stunning as I am used to from your work.

Very nice
It's not the best lens in the world on full frame, but it is one of my all time favourites. I just love the pictorial quality of it  |
