Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8

Pros: Size, beautiful colors, aesthetically very nice

Cons: AF/MF gearbox system, the cap is very uncomfortable

Opinion: Very nice lens, aesthetically it's a gem. The click of the ring to switch to manual focus is potentially very nice but you can not switch with one hand and it is a real pity. With the regulation of manual fire, I would have liked a mechanical end stroke. The cap provided is very uncomfortable, it would be nice if there was an automatic stopper, since it is a lens with a rather versatile focal that allows you to do a bit of everything.

Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 UMC Fisheye MFT

Pros: want to abuse it; Price Solidity.

Cons: the dimensions; The non-removable lens hood and the lack of mounting screw filters; The lack of the chip for EXIF data.

Opinion: Nice lens, want to use it often, maybe too much. The manual controls respond well, there is a general impression of solidity. Nice the wraparound cap. Too bad the fixed hood increases a little ' too much volume, is quite big in relation to the focal. As already highlighted by many, a Chippettino for Exif data would certainly have been comfortable.

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/4.0-5.6 ASPH OIS

Pros: Size, price, performance, focal range

Cons: In relation to price and space no one

Opinion: Beautiful lens, really small and cheap but it churn out excellent photos and very sharp. The AF is fast and pretty accurate (tested on Olympus body). I like the idea of an equivalent 70-200, sometimes (rare) I would like to lengthen a little more but I understand that it would be very difficult in these very small dimensions without compromising the quality. For me it is a brilliant optics for those who want a tele to always carry around. I find that you mate well with the Raynox DCR-150 with which you can make good macros, even if my technique is just starting.
