Tossing a photo of this article tenth: M43 system's small: Panasonic Panasonic 25mm/F1.7 out of the box small test (with rights protection experience)

Hello, everyone, the shots to be shared for everyone this time are from Matsushita's M43 Otaru 25/1.7, which is exactly equivalent to the full-width 50mm focal length. As the latest work of the Panasonic 1.7 aperture coke series, it should be said that compared to its price, the quality is still very conscience. In particular, if you start with a special price of 99 knives during last year's Black Five period, even the price is almost the same as the moving home’s latest STM.

But if you want affordable, you must have some patience, because when you were on Black Friday last year, many banks’ credit cards have launched Haitao activities, coupled with hundreds of breaking news and aunts on the crowd, when I found this lens promotion. Meiya has been evacuated in a state of replenishment, but with the attitude of taking a chance or a single, never thought that this is the beginning of nearly a year of waiting

So what I mainly wanted to share in this post is the experience of how the U.S. and U.S. long-awaited orders will safeguard their rights. After all, everyone wants to get their hand off faster, isn't it?

Ok, the beginning of the order has been made clear, Black 5 was remembering that the B&H site first shot the lens with a special price of 99 knives, and then ADOMARA follow-up, finally Amazon follow-up

Taking into account the fact that the United States and Asia are relatively more direct mail services, I certainly chose to place orders in the United States and Asia, and I remember there was a 40-sold 50-knife US-Asia gift card campaign, equivalent to a shot of 89 knives to win. However, I don't know whether the messenger of M43 God has spread all over the world or whether the amount of domestic merchandise is too large. In short, the status when I place an order is temporarily out of stock and is being replenished. At that time, I was still too close to being a friend, thinking that at most one or two months, Meiya would be able to replenish the goods, and then I could get a good shot before the Chinese New Year.

Then the development later made me realize that I still have too much clothes

As you may all know, Meiya has a mechanism that if the orders for goods received beyond his estimated time have not yet been issued, an email will be sent to you to choose whether to accept the new delivery time proposed by Meiya or directly cancel the order. . The date for my order was November 29, and the first time I received this email was on December 29, when the Meiya shot was still out of stock, but the price had risen back to 249, and I was naturally There is no choice but to accept the new delivery time proposed by Meiya.

After confirming the delay, Meiya will send an email to confirm

However, the strange thing is that after I've completed the confirmation operation and received this email, I'll go to the order interface on the Meiya order to check the status of the order or Approval. This is a bit weird, and it makes me a bit panicky, because if I stayed at this If the status does not confirm, Meiya has the right to cancel the order, so I quickly contacted the customer service. The customer service team that you know about Meiya's customer service are all particularly relaxed and optimistic. The customer service that was encountered on the last day of 2015 also said that there is no problem with the customer.

In the trust of this Denver brother, I continued to wait and feel relieved, and in fact Meiya did not cancel my order. However, I haven’t arrived yet after the full year, and at this time I saw that this shot of Meiya was already in stock. This made me feel a bit unbearable. You have the goods and you don’t send me anything. come out

At this time, I waited for three or four months. It was a bit too slow. I thought about it or decided to find Meiya's customer service. The chats at the time were as follows:

This American-Asian customer service that did not even have a name actually said that because of the bug in the status of my order, it will always be in the status of Approval needed, and it will not be able to enter the delivery process. Denver Brother is really bad for you.

However, the mathematician who helped me find the cause of the problem was not very good at calculating the wrong amount when I made a price match for my new order, and then said that I couldn't change it, but I ended up giving me 30 knives. Promotion credit as compensation

Originally thought that after the new order was placed, it was everything ok. The result did not think that this time, the shot of the United States and Asia seemed to be out of stock. Then it delayed several times. During this time, I once couldn't help myself and went to the customer service argue of Meiya. As a result, people said that they could do nothing, either wait and wait for them to cancel their orders. In addition, they could give me a 10 knife credit as compensation.

Then I finally got an email when I forgot all about it.

After seeing it, old tears flowed. Waiting from November 29 last year to August 2 this year was not easy. This time no moths were finally found. DHL gave me the right time to deliver it.

Here's a quick summary of how to deal with delays in orders when Meiya's snapped up specials:

First of all, be sure to keep an eye on your own Amelia's registered email address. If you receive an email with the title "Delivery date change for your Amazon.com order" or similar, be sure to log in to your AmerAsia account for the first time and confirm that you can accept the delay. Time, otherwise Meiya is entitled to cancel the order.

Secondly, if there is no change in the status of the order after multiple confirmations, or if Approval is needed, be sure to contact Meiya Customer Service for the first time because there may be some errors in the background of the system.

Then, if the waiting time is relatively ridiculous, it is best to contact Meiya Customer Service. According to the actual situation, it is appropriate to compensate yourself. For example, I am arguing to upgrade priority shipping from standard shipping and 10 knife compensation. Although not much, but better than nothing

Finally, still think of ways to improve their hand speed, meet the price of cabbage or the first time as soon as possible orders, because the order of delivery in the United States and Asia is in accordance with the order of the order, the next soon to send fast, fast hair to close fast

After the experience is over, let's take a look at the lens that finally reached my bowl for nearly 9 months.

Meiya's packaging is as simple as ever. A lens box and a few bags of air bags come over.

Six-side box display, traditional Panasonic style

Compared with the STM

Out of the box, the internal protection measures are simply not available. The top lens hood holds the lens body below, and then it is gone. .

However, DHL estimated that it was not a violent express delivery. It was just a few sheets of bubble paper wrapped around the lens and sent safely across the ocean.

After all, the 99-knife lens looks fine despite the texture, but in fact the hand can feel the full sense of plastic

The lens cap is pinched by the presence of the hood, but the 46mm lens cap is very small and difficult to pinch.

The aperture of 1.7 is already a big eye in the M43 system

Panasonic's chrysanthemum is still the conscience metal chrysanthemum

7-aperture blades can be clearly seen through large eyes

The included hood is a general plastic material. There is an extinct circle in the interior. Do not think about flocking.

If you have to install it, you need to unscrew the next ring.

Then you can screw on the hood, which can be reversed

Compared to Canon's STM, the volume does not have much advantage, even higher

But it's also more detailed

The weight is also not much difference, a 150g, a 181g

However, if you combine the camera, the advantage of the M43 system is very obvious.

It is also recommended that all value-friends who want to start their camera with interest should consider the M43 system, because it is really very compact and portable, and the picture quality will not have too many shortcomings compared to other larger format systems. Good use can be a good film, such as my previous post

Of course, taking into account the lens of the previous 1.7 aperture series have a good performance: 20/1.7 God cake title, and 15/1.7 is a small artifact with a card standard, this 25/1.7 although positioning is not high, but still Let me have some expectation of his picture quality

Let's test the scope of the best aperture first, from the largest 1.7 to the largest 22, take a look at a group of motion pictures

If you don't see the difference, let's take a look at the 100% enlarged comparison chart.

In conclusion, the center sharpness of the aperture at the beginning of the 2.2 aperture is relatively good, and it is still good to reach 11 until it falls from 13 and it is basically in line with the general level of the M43 lens.

Let's take a look at the performance of Xingmang, starting from f3.5 up to the smallest f22, similarly moving up

Let's look at the 100% big picture

In fact, from the beginning of f5 looming star, but to become good-looking, at least have to receive the aperture f9, taking into account the best picture quality above the aperture, if you want to Xingmao picture quality are taken into account, it is best to use f11 Or f13 these two apertures to shoot, f/22 star is the largest, but the picture quality is a bit worse

And the seven apertures are also very good

After some quality tests, it should be said that if we can start the 25/1.7 lens with a price of 99 knives, it is still very good value, but it was a pity that after Black Friday last year, there was no such special price, but it has also been successfully lowered. The price of this lens, Jingdong seems to be able to win in the early 1000, it is also quite cost-effective

Of course, in addition to the sharing of the lens itself, I also hope that my own experience with the delays in the orders of the United States and Asia can help everyone.

So this time we share here, we will see you again next time, diarrhea
