Pros: Very small and beautiful

Cons: Lens hood sold separately at an exaggerated price

Opinion: Nice, maybe the nicest lens from Olympus for m43. It is very solid, very small and very elegant; you attach it to a Pen-F and you feel like you have a premium machine. The criticisms on YouTube seem exaggerated to me, especially that of Robin Wong, who since OMD gave him the green light has drowned his micro love in a macro sea of resentment

Pros: Optical Quality, Weight and Cost

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Awesome lens if you love the 35 (34) mm. It is the pure essence of the micro 4/3, very light, very small and super quality. Shall we talk about the price? Relatively very low in relation to quality, sharpness and brightness. A great lens to have if you want to travel light. I think there is only grey and for some (black) cars it could make you turn up your nose as a pairing, but on the PENF or OMD10 mark XX grey it becomes very intriguing.

Pros: Aperture, build quality, sharpness, one-click manual maf, image quality, 34mm equivalent focal length

Cons: Lack of lens hood, not tropicalized

Opinion: I've owned this lens for quite some time and I can only speak well of it, it gives really sharp images with a pleasant contrast, the build quality is really good, totally made of metal, mounted on a small camera like the Panasonic gx80 it gives more than good shots while maintaining almost negligible weights and dimensions. As per "tradition" Olympus lacks the lens hood and the lens is not tropicalized, as far as the lens hood is concerned, you can find compatible ones at very low prices. I've done a lot of trips carrying only this lens with me and the results obtained are above the most optimistic expectations from a lens of this size, of this price, so small and light. It's a lens that I love and that doesn't disappoint even in the video field given the silence of the focus and its relative precision and speed.

Pros: Dimensions, manual focus bezel.

Cons: There will always be sharper, lighter, brighter, cheaper lenses :-)

Opinion: I've been using it with satisfaction for a while. I used it with the em10 and I use it with the em1 MarkII . It is a 35 equivalent bright, with a decent blur, also good focus speed, I really like the switch to switch to manual ... It's compact, almost a pancake (it really fits in a pocket of comfortable pants). The construction is good, despite the use I made of it not a sign of wear... I used it mainly with the EM-10 with which it forms a compact and quality coupling. Excellent in general use, compared to 75 and 12-45 it returns colors a little colder, as if the white balance was always wrong in colder shades (however, obviously it is adjusted in post or by setting the jpegs properly). Many complain about the lack of the hood in the package, I rarely use them but in fact if you want to buy it it costs very expensive (in proportion to the cost of the lens) even if there are cheap sub-brands and it is not that the original gives you who knows what more .. to me it appeared very sharp, even at full aperture, like all Olympus lenses I had, even if it does not have that contrast typical of macros or that for example has the 12-45 ... In short, it will not be the top for landscapes but for a generalist use (as the focal recommends) it is excellent. I recommend all microfooterzists to try it because on the net there are often unexciting comments that in my opinion do not do justice to this beautiful lens, obviously if one is comfortable with this focal length ....

Pros: beauty, robustness,colors,autofocus

Cons: absence of the lampshed

Opinion: It is a fabulous lens, I still have to find defects, it has beautiful colors and a lightning autofocus. The Silver version is very particular and mounted on the two-tone bodies becomes even more beautiful. a lens that for my type of photography can be mounted on the machine body at least for 80% of situations. I absolutely recommend it.
