The 82mm UV-Haze #010 MRC MASTER Filter from B+W blocks UV light, which can cause blurring and a blueish cast. An invisible component of daylight, UV light is more intense in pure sea air and high mountain regions. This filter is color-neutral and can be kept on your lens even when you don't need it, simply to protect the front of the lens. The filter element is made of glass and is highly transparent.

Featuring B+W's MRC nano coating, the filter has an extremely low reflection. The optical information remains unaffected when it reaches the image sensor. The hydrophobic coating reduces the adhesion tendency of dirt particles and water droplets. With MRC nano coating, a water droplet remains practically spherical. It rolls over the surface, and a first-rate dirt- and water-repellent effect occurs.

A: It is roughly 2 stops of difference if compared to the F3.5 at 14mm of the 14-42mm lens, so if you are at 400 iso on the camera with the 3.5 in 14mm of the 14-42 then you can be at 100 iso with the F1.7 with the 25mm lens.

Q: 9. Would this lens be good with indoor shooting? Or would the 20mm Lumix G be a better option?

A: Although either lens would work well I'd probably give the nod to the 20mm only because of it's slightly wider angle of view that could be helpful with the confines of an interior space.

Q: 10. Is it full frame and compatible with the Sony A 7 ?

A: While the Sony 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS Lens for NEX Cameras is compatible with the Sony A7, do note that it is an APS-C lens, not a full-frame lens. You have the option to use the lens in the APS-C crop mode (which will lower the image resolution down to 10 megapixels), or you can use the full sensor, which will result in a dark black vignette around the edges of the images where the smaller lens is blocking light from reaching the edges of the larger sensor.
