Wide angle lens

[Lucia]

I've read the posts about wide angle lenses - everyone recommends century .7. Could someone explain how this lens is different from the panasonic .8?
Thanks

Isn't it wider (the century) and better glass? I have no idea. I can hope that the panasonic lens is leica made but maybe that's asking too much. :beer:

The lower the number, the wider the lens. Someone correct me if Im wrong but this is what I have heard. The decimal is a percentage of how big the picture will be compared to the original. So with a .7 lens, the image will be 70% as large as the original image. With a .8 it will be 80% as large. Hence the .7 is wider.

Also, the Century .7 is a full zoom-through adapater, should you care about that.
