Review on Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 25mm F1.8 Lens: High-quality Micro Four Thirds Camera Lens (Black) by Ashley Godwin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice lens but flaws

This lens has suited me for a long time, but there is a known drawback, at least in a certain series, when focusing the lens causes an audible click during video recording. This will completely destroy any use of the camera's built-in microphone. I have an Olympus PEN El-P5 with no additional microphone input, so I have to record audio separately every time I use this lens. Good practice to always have security, but kills a lot of spontaneous writing. It was reported that Olympus acknowledged the problem but did not see it as an issue to repair or replace damaged lenses.

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
