Pros: Small, lightweight, good image quality. Cost

Cons: AF on E-M5 MKII

Opinion: It's the only lens I've resold out of desperation. I may have been unlucky, so maybe not everyone is like that. Before taking it I had read on the net that it gave bands at high ISO, but I have never seen defects of this type. I used it on an Olympus E-M5 MKII and it was a tragedy the focus. I state that this camera has in itself a really ridiculous focus for the price it had. Since the lens has a 1.7 aperture I bought it exclusively to take family photos at home. The focus with the low lights was not the best and in any case the photos were never sharp, had some problems my specimen I think. When I sold it, a videomaker with a Panasonic took it and he also noticed that the focus was not precise, but he used it manually, so the problem was quite relative. Then I repeat, maybe it was my defective specimen. If you are in my condition I do not recommend it. If, on the other hand, you do street and use it mainly during the day and with diaphragms a little more closed than 1.7 it is an excellent lens, it has few defects, especially for what it costs. If you have to make the use that I made of it I recommend the panaleica 15mm 1.7 (if you are not short even the Olympus 25 1.8 is excellent). It is true that it costs much more, but at least the photos come as they should come and the keding is also correct. So if you want to use it as a handyman it is excellent. If you use it mainly because you need the 1.7 then better other goals.

Pros: Very light and space-saving. Definite. Bright. Price of new and used very affordable

Cons: A little cumbersome autofocus.

Opinion: Bought for 139 euros used. I was very skeptical, but I wanted an undemanding and expensive lens for daily dog outings. Something that put on the GX80 or E-PM2 did not protrude too much and comfortably fit in the pocket of a jacket. I love slightly wider focal lengths, but it fits great. It returns well-balanced images both in contrast definition and colors. It was immediately feeling. I will also try it on more serious bodies to squeeze it a little more and see all the character. I don't take dynamic photos so I can't say how it works in those contexts.

Pros: Sharpness, Brightness, Compact and Light, Price contained in proportion to yield

Cons: Occasionally non-instant autofocus when mounted on Olympus m4/3

Opinion: A lens I highly recommend to buy, I manage to separate myself despite having bought the excellent M.Zuiko 12-40 2.8 pro. It allows you to make very nice shots even if mounted - as I do - on an Olympus m4/3. Not taking up virtually space and weighing very little is ideal for street photographs and with such a bright opening allows you to shoot even in low light conditions. It makes very well in portraits and offers a good bokeh effect

Pros: light, precise, with a very affordable price. Perfect for videos too

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: we chose this lens to mount on the Panasonic g-80 to make videos of ceremonies. turned out to be a good choice. Precise even with the manual focus, light, bright, this lens goes really well with the machine, which is balanced very well. Also great for shooting indoors when the light is poor and you need to open the diaphragm.

Pros: Very compact and light, crisp, great value for money

Cons: I didn't find any

Opinion: This type of micro 4/3 lenses is ideal for Panasonic GX and GF series cameras that poorly withstand larger lenses that are a bit disproportionate to the size of the room. Great for street and landscapes, it's also good for portraits. Now it's constantly on my GX 80. For me it's a return to the beginning of my only fixed-only photography activity

Pros: Sharpness, compactness, featherweight, price value

Cons: On bodies Olympus slowma MAF; dynamic AF (AFC-AFF) do not work

Opinion: Do you want quality and lightness in a fixed (almost) all-rounder? This is the lens for you. Featherweight (less than one hectare), ridiculous footprint (less than three cm thick) in exchange for great sharpness and image quality. Let's add excellent value for money: an optic, therefore, in full spirit m4/3. Flaws: Dynamic Afis are not enabled; on Olympus bodies in certain situations the AF is a bit slow. No problem, as far as I could see, on the Panasonic bodies. Optical that I recommend to try: it will surprise you.

Pros: Crisp, compact, very light, very good value for money

Cons: On Panasonic GX80 do not work AFF and AFC, suffering from "rattlesnake"

Opinion: Objective purchased to have a greater brightness than the lens in kit, maintaining an extreme compactness. It showed remarkable sharpness qualities as well as being very small and very light (less than 100 g). I used it on Panasonic GX80, and I write this review especially to warn that with this body only the AFS mode works, and the AFF and AFC modes are deactivated. Another characteristic is the effect "rattlesnake" or the ticking that is sometimes felt during the changes of brightness, noise annoying but that does not affect the quality of the optics. In relation to the price it proves to be an excellent lens for those who want a bright lens, very sharp and with minimum dimensions.

Pros: Compact, clear, light, construction

Cons: AF especially in low light and noisy

Opinion: I had this lens for a few months and, provided that I have not found the focal point, I must say that if you want a compact quality in the world m4 / 3 you can not make better choice. Really tiny and very light perfect in combination with a small body (Pen, pana gx80 etc ...). I also tried it on the EM1 and it ends up flush with the handle. Excellent construction, only the MF ring did not shine. Optical output as opposed to the other much more surgical panasonic. Sharp already at TA. AF beyond that it is not very fast, but on this focal length it does not count much, it is a bit noisy because the front element when focheggia makes forward / backward. Diaframmato goes even better reaching the maximum around F4 and closing a little more (careful not to go into diffraction) you get beautiful starry light points. Overall a good optics that I recommend in combination with small bodies to have a compact of all respect.

Pros: sharpness, lightness, blurred, price

Cons: of body Olympus, autofocus not excelled and slowness of the slats in closing the diaphragm over f4

Opinion: 26 # 39; action, this lens will give you great satisfaction. If you believe those who say that it's a great all do ... ... you will be disappointed because, as my grandmother "who can do anything, can not do anything."

Pros: Objective fast. Great sharpness at all apertures. Good construction. Price.

Cons: It 'a great pelino in diameter mounted on Olympus Pen bodies, but to find fault at all costs.

Opinion: In my day, the variable focal length lenses were attempts teconologici pathetic, so I learned to use and love fixed because even at my age move back and forth is good for health. I bought this to replace and / or complement the Olympus 17mm f / 2.8 pancake which is fast but not too much and is crisp but not too much. The Panasonic has a little longer as a focal but it's really fast and sharp as a razor. In my frequent rounds for the world's cities it is truly irreplaceable and for owners of any micro 4/3 is a straconsigliato purchase. Bought at € 257.60 at the beginning of 2017.

Pros: Compactness, quality price!

Cons: AF Nos lightning speciamente you Oly bodies

Opinion: Bought very recently on the recommendation of an enthusiastic friend of optical qs, I'm very happy! A must in the world M4 / 3 .... tiny, bright, cheap, and crystal clear already at room temperature (say the old man is sharper ... qs it is safe), all the features that an optical M4 / 3 should have! I took it instead of PanaLeica, too big and a little too long for generic use! For now it can only cosigliarlo ... even the focal length is great for people like me nn loves very wide angles (already with 28 of FF I am wrong) could be the panacea for all ills ... Updates will follow .. .
