I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I purchased the lens that was part of the limited edition black configuration. includes a lens hood and a filter for added protection. aesthetically pleasing, of high quality, and cozy. Instantaneous geometry correction takes place within the camera. no vignette. I couldn't be happier with my buy.

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

This story is fictional. We spent 29600 on a bushy one in the middle of 2022, and we are more than happy with it. No chromatic is present, it focuses swiftly, and tracking buzzes. little and light. I appreciate how easily I can switch from automatic to manual focusing. Actually, I'm at a loss for what to say next. Everyone is aware of the requirement for a wide lens, and this lens produces good images while enabling ISO on a micro matrix's already small size. I landed on a hard laminate a week

Pros
  • The lens itself is a significant benefit.
Cons
  • Glare generally catches.

24mm x 35mm film camera equivalent

Fast prime lens. One of the best wide angle lenses for Micro 4/3 cameras. Better picture than most zooms at this size. Lens hood is not included to avoid reflections in certain lighting conditions. A decent if expensive lens for enthusiasts or professionals. The goalkeeper.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Very expensive

My favorite lens in camera lenses

I use it in a trio with Panasonic 20mm and Olympus 45mm. This is far from my favorite lens (although at this price point it should be!). I find it plays just the right number of characters and is the perfect 24mm equivalent. It also looks great with an optional metal lens cap that makes the whole camera look like a work of art.

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Appearance

excellent standard wide

my favorite standard wide for m43. Very sharp, colors look great, no distortion around the corners, excellent build quality (light but strong). The sliding focus ring doesn't work well for video, apparently a lag in the electronic focus mechanism. Overall I like this lens and haven't found a better 12mm on the mft. Tried manual 12mm exposure (SLR magic) but wasn't happy with the sharpness or flare but it's the only lens that comes close to the Oly.

Pros
  • new to my collection
Cons
  • negative impression

Very good for landscapes and interiors

I have used it to shoot some multi-capacity events with my 75mm 1.8 and this lens gives excellent results not only in landscapes, its natural use but even when taking photos of people in close groups at short distances. For the best end result, I also use Perspective Correction (DxO) software, which is very good at correcting geometric distortions of elements located around the perimeter of the image. This is probably one of the best wide angle lenses you can get in m4/ today. 3, which is close

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Some issues

Recommended lens for MFT system

I recently bought this lens from Revain as I was looking for a wide angle lens, good for landscapes and low light, with a bright aperture and quality glass. Oly 12mm f2 0.0 lens is the lens to go for as it is the only focal length. Pros: - Lens produces crisp images - Excellent color reproduction and focus - Well-built all-metal lens - Great design and nice to look at, especially when equipped with Olympus OMD - Fast autofocus - Great for Full HD movie recording with Olympus OMD - Lightweight…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Minor issues

Superb wide-angle image

Finally there's a fast wide-angle lens for the Micro Four Thirds system. Two other lenses that can shoot at 12mm are the Olympus 9-18mm and the Panasonic 7-14mm, both f/4 and up. The build quality of this lens is excellent. It is all metal with a smooth machined finish. It weighs 130g, which is only double the Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 lens. It's also twice the size but still smaller than the standard zoom lens. The wide-angle lens is as small as it gets - the beauty of the Micro Four Thirds system.

Pros
  • There's something special about it
Cons
  • Reliability
