  • It’s been a long long week, originally uploaded by john m flores. I’m starting to think that there’s some special sauce in the Panasonic 20 F1.7 because you can achieve a nice, subtle 3D effect when it’s shot wide open from a certain distance, say 5 to 6 feet. Here, this fellow is pretty sharp…
