Pros: optical correction, center-edge IQ, sharpness, construction, weight, brightness

Cons: backlight, no lens hood, light vignetting at TA

Opinion: purchased on offer from the OM system website, after 1 year of use I am convinced of the purchase made; starting from the QI it is one of those Olympus prosumer lenses, but which is very close to the PRO line: TA sharpness, natural colors, acceptable vignetting... I use it a lot for architecture and indoor photos and I must say that the first thing that satisfied me was the optical correction, in post production there is very little to correct; as is physiological at TA you notice a bit of vignetting. Although the construction is very solid, it is a featherweight, only 130gr! it's practically fixed with the E-P7 which together make just 500gr! As defects, unfortunately, I find the ugly purple halos against the light very evident, especially when I shoot indoors; A defect, not of the optics but of the company marketing is the absence of the lens hood (metal), which purchased separately should come at 30/40 €.

Pros: Construction, made at full aperture, contrast, three-dimensionality.

Cons: Maybe the cost, even if we talk about a wide angle so there can be.

Opinion: Purchased by chance, after taking the Olympus Pen F, I fell in love right away.rnI used for a long time the PanaLeica 15 f1.7, good goal, but this I love it more: I do not know what it is but the yield is more three-dimensional, it will be my impression but so.rnIn the end I do everything, except for close-ups of course, and I'm having a lot of fun because it has a really crazy performance.rnThe autofocus then is really lightning and very quiet.rnStraconsigliato .

Pros: image quality even at TA

Cons: It not named Leica

Opinion: I took this lens almost reluctantly because with wide angles (though moderates like this) I never managed to quail well. Then it came, whow! all metal, possibility of diaphragm manually by simply moving the ring (virtually never used options), and then the one coming out of the camera! rnPer it short, if before I left with a third of the trunk full of equipment, and would come home without a photo taken , I realized that leaving only mounted this lens could do everything. Take a few steps forward to make it a 28mm is a moment. Very stylish metal lens hood. Then I evolved and I carry this lens mounted on Oly Epl5 + EVF and even another camera Fuji x100s with his 35mm, and I have rediscovered the joy of photographing. At 65 years. Usually we travel in two, and we often exchange the cameras. It is funny.

Pros: Construction, sharpness, contrast, uniformity center-boards, made at maximum aperture, correction of distrorsione automatic AF.

Cons: Hood effective but inconvenient without IS if you use on Panasonic.

Opinion: Very satisfied, high IQ on almost all values ??of f utilizzo.rnPer those coming from the FF will be surprised to find a lot of quality even at maximum apertura.rnIl made to focus on clarity and contrast while leaving the burden of distortion to the software made it possible to achieve objectives which, although "cheap" muscles have to deal with the most popular brands on the market and prices superiori.rnSicuramete recommended for those who want all the quality of Olympus m4 / 3.

Pros: Sharpness, lightness, maneuverability, hyperfocal scale in manual focus, design ..

Cons: Price

Opinion: For landscapes with the sensor olympus micro 4:3 and a polarizing filter colors are awesome! Trips where you do not want too much weight combined with a Olympus EPM1 is a beautiful toy! with precaution is also excellent for reportage , but do not be shy! :-) Rnessendo f2 can be considered bright even if everything is in relation to the small size of the lente.è amazing for the video, the machine produces mts files, autofocus is fast and accurate and the images are razor sharp! RNE a lens that I really enjoy and have a fast and silent autofocus ... I would recommend it for those who want to shop.
