Cons:Not being able to use filters, but we already know this when buying.
Opinion:With this I finish my micro 4/3 kit, consisting of GX9, 45-175mm, 15mm, and 12.60mm. A small complete kit that covers all my needs for street photos and reportage. The goodness of this lens is very high, a classic focal point of the ultrawide wide angle that can not be missing in the backpack. Very satisfied with its sharpness both in day and night shooting, I had the Nikon 14-24 and this in size looks like a newborn, but that does great its job. Bought used at a really good price, I am very satisfied with it.
Pros:All (or almost) wide-angle focal points in one perspective
Cons:In my opinion none
Opinion:This lens has also been part of my kit for years. the best of himself, in my opinion, he dated it on Panasonic bodies because the correction of aberrations (not a few) is automatic, while on Oly not. That said, from 14mm to 28mm equivalent, to fixed f/4 the yield is superb, at the top from f/5.6, it is compact and lightweight, like many micro 4/3 system optics. It cannot mount filters, it is not stabilized, it is not tropicalized, but these details are known and therefore, if you buy it, you know what you are going through.
Pros:in 300grams you have a 14-28mm... beautiful yield, excellent sharpness, excellent chromatic rendering
Cons:Not torpicalized. Price. The flare that often peeps out...
Opinion:It is a "must have" lens: light, comfortable, small and quite portable, with good yield. For me it's the lens I use the most when I'm on the go. Landscapes and landscapes cannot be experienced without the 7-14 attached to my G9 (today, yesterday was the GH4). The last lens I'm going to sell of my m43 kit... (in the sense that it will be the one I will keep the longest).
Pros:Compactness, weight, beautiful color rendering, clear already at full aperture.
Cons:Not tropicalized. Flare always lurking and not always manageable like most of the ultrawide I've had.
Opinion:On FF I used sigma 12-24 ii that had created addiction. Turning to m4 / 3 the only goal that could replace it was this. I had to give up 2mm equivalent wide side but in terms of sharpness and colors I made a big step forward. I could also buy the panaleica 8-18 but the mm more and the small size made me prefer. I consider it a definitive perspective for my standards.
Pros:Compactness, sharpness (but in bright environments). Lightweight and well executed.
Cons:high price. A 14mm distortion at the sides. Not stabilized. Non-tropical conditions. dim
Opinion:Those who read this review maybe you are wondering whether to buy this Panasonic 7-14 or maybe spending a little more, the Olympus 7-14. Unfortunately I have not tried this, but the ability to shoot (or turn) to F 2.8 is really important. The fact remains that the Panasonic is a great goal, very well done. The shots are spectacular freeform day, just as in the evening, but with the aid of a tripod. It is a lens that takes practice, you have to try and study the best pdr.
