Pros:Dimensions, weight, sharpness at all openings
Cons:Manual focus, variation between specimens
Opinion:I bought this optic to replace the Panasonic 7-14 f4 looking for maximum lightness and compactness, even giving up autofocus and zoom, since I wanted an ultrawide lens to always have on hand and to use if needed. I took a first specimen used, among the very first products, and was exaggerated blurred to the edges up to f5.6. Returning this copy to the seller (which I later learned to have succeeded in replacing it with Laowa) I still wanted to give confidence to the manufacturer as well as the disagreeing reviews on the net, buying a specimen directly from the manufacturer. The new copy is just another thing, it improves slightly by closing at f2.8, but it is still very good at f2, which is also usable for full opening. Too bad for this variability among the specimens, I hope it is a problem solved for the specimens currently produced like mine. For the rest nothing to say, mechanically it is very well assembled and the sense of quality product (apart from the cap, unusable with the paralucand in position), I prefer its yield compared to that of Panasonic even at lower apertures than f4, it has a better contrast, no annoying purple blob on olympus bodies and less purple fringing. With regard to autofocus, using the lens in the majority of infinite cases and f4-f5.6 the problem does not arise, the lens is always ready to shoot.
Pros:Small, excellent mechanical, crisp already at TA, launch price (467 euros shipped including UV filter kit, PL, ND1000)
Cons:Vignette visible up to f5.6
Opinion:Optical manual focus to have if portability is essential. For some applications, size and lightness become a must as in the case of drilling. There is a lighter version (150grams versus 200!), More expensive, for that purpose. But also for those who bring the kit in trekking / bikes / etc. Certain features make a throat. The mechanics are great, the metal hood is a jewel. The hinges are fluid, without any play and properly restrained (being also intended for use in flight, it is right that they are not soft to prevent fire and diaphragm movements). A peculiarity: the focus ring limit switches exactly with the focus on infinity. This was the first I had seen as a defect because I was used to it differently (fire infinitely a bit before the infinite symbol placed on the barrel) and I thought that a small calibration error or simply thermal excursion might have prevented a perfect Focusing infinitely. But removed quThis is a remote event, I thought it was very convenient when it hurries or snaps into the starry sky. A pre-set mechanic very comfortable, ending blindly and away!
