Pros: Quality, fine metal construction, colors.

Cons: Maybe the weight, but maybe.

Opinion: Screaming lens, excellent construction, you hold it in your hand and feel the weight but you know that all quality, optically a portent, the photos practically do not need much, panic sharpness, bought almost for a whim now I can no longer remove it from the camera body. Compared with other Olympus lenses, on which I use it very well and without problems, the colors are much better, sometimes even excessive, the Zuiko lenses in my opinion are more neutral. What to say recommended definitely.

Pros: resistance to flare, sharpness, opening. On the starry skies shows coma only to open diaphragms and total absence of astigmatism (among the wide-angles, it is a not so common value)

Cons: If we really want to find them, for those who are used to micro 4/3 optics is slightly heavier than average and has metal construction. But I would say that it has no cons

Opinion: specially purchased lens to photograph the Northern Lights in Iceland, being able to shorten exposure times and improve the details visible on the lights in the sky. And this Wonder from the Leica glass did not disappoint. On other occasions, day backlight, I noticed excellent resistance to flare: the images are always very contrasting and sharp. As for the use on starry skies, the lens demonstrates an excellent control of the coma of astigmatism, which are typical defects rather marked even on lenses maybe emasked but optimized for other aspects; shooting at f1.4 the stars show chromatic aberration and slight coma on the edges, showing no signs of astigmatism, but gradually closing the diaphragm, already at f3.2 you get stars with a high degree of pointsformity all over the frame (see photos of the hill of the Nivolet confirming). For those who have a passion for starry skies, they are truly remarkable features in a wide-angle. Only limit, as you might expect, the inevitable purple fringing a diaphragm all open; anything excessive or that can't be corrected in post. For me the reputation of premium lens is all deserved, I do not really know what more can be asked of a goal. On the other hand, the price is also "premium" but if you have an m4/3 kit and you need to shorten the exposure times in the wide-angle area, the choice can only fall between the Leica 12 mm and the Voigtl-nder Nokton 10.5 mm f0.95. As far as I could try, the Pana-Leica is already absolutely usable at TA without problems of vignette or excessive softness at the edges. The Voigtlnder 10.5, which is located at about the same price, has even more extreme characteristics, if I had to make a comparison between the two I would say that the Panansonic 12 wins in the value of quality/(weight less), while the Voigtl-nder is an uncompromising solution, suitable for those who have no problem using manual optics
