What these focal lengths actually give you on the Panasonic Lumix GH7
The Panasonic Lumix GH7 has a Micro Four Thirds sensor, so it sees a 2× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 2× tighter than its marked number. That works against you here: the widest option, the OM System M.Zuiko 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO, frames like 16mm — not as wide as its marked number suggests. For a genuinely wide view on the Panasonic Lumix GH7 you want a lens marked around 12mm or shorter.
| Lens | Marked | Frames like, on the Panasonic Lumix GH7 |
|---|---|---|
| Panasonic Leica DG 12mm f/1.4 | 12mm | 24mm |
| Panasonic Leica DG 9mm f/1.7 | 9mm | 18mm |
| Panasonic Leica DG 10-25mm f/1.7 | 10-25mm | 20–50mm |
| OM System M.Zuiko 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO | 8mm | 16mm |
