Review on Olympus M Zuiko Digital 25Mm Black by Reynaldo Guzman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

cool, but only for the Olympus (although this was to be expected).

Simply one of my favorite lenses. I use Olympus OMD III, their mirrorless model, mostly with this lens. This lens takes really sharp and clear photos. It's fairly firm but not too bulky. I grossly underestimated the convenience of switching from auto to manual sliding focus ring. This is a really amazing feature that really surprised me when I started using it. The only downside to the lens, to be honest, is the mounting system. I love my Polypus camera and lens, but the interchangeability between other brands is almost non-existent. If you already have an investment in Olympus that's great, but it can certainly be a problem when trying to switch between their Micro 4/3 and others as they don't have a huge range of adapters either. If you have a Cannon, Nikon or Sony, as much as I hate to talk about it (because I really love that lens), there's definitely something comparable and more comfortable.
