Pros: Portability, price, weight

Cons: Sharpness, darkness.

Opinion: Spending $50 on a lens makes you think you're holding a toy in your hands. And indeed it is, at least from the point of view of fun. With this lens on the camera body, you're ready to shoot at any time, with unrivalled portability. It is at its best combined with a mini tripod, for long evening exposures in urban areas or during the day for panoramas. Is it a professional lens? No. Is it suitable for any occasion? Does it allow you to have fun? Yes. And for the money it costs, it has an unparalleled quality/price ratio.

Pros: For what it costs honestly I expected much much worse instead I did a couple of views that surprised me. Unexpectedly good yield, it weighs like a cork (and in fact it practically is).

Cons: At this price any criticism is almost useless.

Opinion: Paid € 50 I took it for fun, instead I must say that I made a little' landscapes so for fun and I found very usable photos even to print large. I was stunned especially when I showed the photo to colleagues who did not want to believe me! Obviously it has its limits but you want to put the satisfaction of making usable and beautiful photos for € 50 ??? Fixed aperture at F / 8, for the use I make of it is not a problem indeed. It's plastic, at 50€ what do you expect? Manual Focus, always at 50€ what do you expect? in short, it is yet another micro four thirds lens that I brought home for 2 pennies and that gave me good photos to be able to print in large format (type A3 / A2, sorry but I do not remember at the moment the precise dimensions)

Pros: superlight body cap

Cons: fire lever moves by itself. obvious distortion. Dark

Opinion: bought for its palious cost and negligible weight and footprint. For a picture of landscape in full sun is fine and makes up for the lack of a super-enlargement that you did not bring while this is in the pocket of the shirt and if necessary does its humble work. Of course, if you photographed monuments you will have to correct the distortions in PP

Pros: Size, price, sharpness.

Cons: Lever of the "MF"slow, Diaphragm too closed.

Opinion: Taken for the paltry price and arrived in the late afternoon I wanted to immediately try it out and I was disappointed immediately! I couldn't take a clear freehand photo except by raising the iso causing noise, from the despondency I would throw it! Then I tried to shoot with the help of the flash and things changed .... seemed like another goal, excellent! So I waited the next day with the sun. Tested with daylight is fine !!! For now (I'll update later) the downside is the diaphragm too closed and the lever of the focus variation that moves if you change it. From my point of view, I find sharpness better by moving to hyperfocal than to infinity.

Pros: sharpness, shooting field, limited deformation (can be a con), size, simplicity, focus, price

Cons: ad f/8 decidedly dark, focus lever with unsteady stills, with the small bodies of Olympus risk framing your fingers

Opinion: Olympus doesn't even classify him as a target, yet he manages to allow images of extraordinary sharpness (in my opinion). Once the focus stick is adjusted to infinity, just compose and expose, without worrying about sealing. Using it, I take care of three things. Do not touch the focus stick, which is not held firmly in the three preset positions (macro, hyperfocal, and infinite), and which normally adjusts to infinity. To keep the electronic horizon active, to properly align machine and horizon. To keep your fingers as far away from the lens as possible, so as not to photograph them. To my taste, the deformation imposed by the focal is not a defect, but a compositional element to have unusual images. Fixed f/8 diaphragm in practice does not get in the way that much. If anything, you need to adjust the shooting contrast, as with good light the extreme areas of brightness will be both present. In the end, I found out that this plastic thing is addictive...
