Quality


I did about 100 shots with this lens yesterday and i am very pleased with the results


Good enough for me means that youll get images that youll be very pleased with


Not just the quality of image but simply you can produce photos that were not possible


Image quality good enough for the purposes of this lens for this type of camera system etc

Price


Overall i was really happy with the lens and think the price is competitive for such a quality and unique lens


Equating the weight and price to my automobile my car would have cost 6


Recently amazon had an instant rebate that brought the price down to 60 of the price of the panasonic lens

Packaging/appearance


Things around the edge of the frame dont look as unnaturally flat and odd on the oly as they do on the pana

Competitiveness


6 is nothing special for a uwa zoom and the 9mm 18mm in 35mm terms wide end isnt quite as wide as much of the competition


This has become my favorite lens for my olympus em5 mk ii camera


Its only one of two ultrawide zooms for micro four thirds and it is quite a bit less than the lumix 714mm


So after holding out for several years from buying a dslr i finally took the plunge and bought a lumix g2 and the olympus 918mm

    Size wise its pretty small when you have it in the carrying position and build quality is loads better than the oly kit lens


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you do shoot pics with people in them and you are at the 9mm end make sure that they are not towards the edges of the frame as there is some distortion of the image there


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Whilst this can be corrected for faces etc its not ideal so just be aware its a limitation of this sort of lens


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Again if you are moving from a ps camera this is the sort of lens that offers you something different to what you could do before

    Not just the quality of image but simply you can produce photos that were not possible


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is some distortion but this is almost expected on lenses this wide


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Although fantastic optically the panasonic is just too large and heavy especially with the protruding front element


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also pigs will fly before olympus includes hoods and pouches with their lenses
