The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm F4 Pro is a versatile lens with no direct peer. It offers a wide-angle to normal field-of-view, and while not as bright as some of its similar competitors, the constant F4 aperture makes it useful for everything from landscape to street to travel photography. It's sharp wide open, and optical aberrations are kept to a minimum. Speedy and silent autofocus along with a lack of focus breathing make the lens a great option for videographers as well.

The combination of compact size, relatively light weight and excellent performance and usability make the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4.0 PRO lens a worthy contender for a place in M4/3 camera users’ kitbags.

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25 mm f/4 PRO didn't have any slip-ups and is an instrument which I can personally recommend without any objections. Its price, reaching $1100, is perhaps not that low but lenses with interesting, unique parameters never come cheap.

solid and weather-sealed construction,, very good image quality in the frame centre,, good image quality on the edge of the frame up from the maximum relative aperture,, negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration,, low lateral chromatic aberration,, proper coma correction,, moderate astigmatism,,...

very high distortion on RAW files,, noticeable vignetting at the 8 mm focal length (but only on RAW files).

I know several Olympus users who have been toying with purchasing the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm f/2.8 Pro for ages but they have been put off by the need to use an adapter and specific filters. The M. Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 Pro is the perfect solution.
