Fast, accurate glass at a bargain price.

Very impressed with this lens for the price. It's surprisingly versatile, and the manual focus and iris controls are a nice throwback to the basics. Color reproduction and clarity are excellent, with no discernible deviations or imperfections. It was great in both bright and low light and has excellent soft bokeh even wide open. Very happy with my purchase and it has been used a lot. Bonus points for feeling safe and looking great on my Olympus EM-5 Mark II. This lens is easy to take with you…

I love this lens: Camera & Photo

I use this lens with an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II camera. I love it. I don't know if this is camera related, but I haven't noticed any distortion issues with this lens. This lens takes sharp pictures and is good in low light. Being 12mm, it can easily handle long exposures like 1/20 without camera shake. They say this lens doesn't photograph people well. I have found that this is not true at all. People will be distorted if they are very close (less than a few feet), or there may be distortion

An excellent lens for its price. A very good lens for every price!

I use a Rokinon 12mm lens on several Olympus Micro Four Thirds cameras. Of course, setting the aperture manually and letting the computer set the shutter speed is a little different than letting silicon chips and firmware handle the entire process. In fact, it's a bit like photography when I learned this craft. That said, I think this much-lamented feature isn't an issue and probably a good tutorial for those transitioning from point-and-shoot cameras to truly flexible cameras. But you're…
