Olympus Four Thirds

**Update my review** At first I had the impression that this lens does not work with the Olympus 4/3. It was user error. You have to be really careful when attaching the lens (hold the lens hood and push it on carefully). You must also read about working with a manual lens. Somehow - despite what I've read about using this lens in manual mode - it doesn't work that way! Try iauto. Aperture and distance still need to be adjusted manually, but for some reason the iauto shots look great. In manual mode I only get an underexposed result (black screen). Because it's a manual lens, you won't get an EV warning. There's no distortion - so if you're looking for a dramatic fisheye effect, this isn't your option. But it captures a really nice wide area. Ideal for landscape and real estate photography.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not the best
