- super fast AF
- snap focus ring
- low distortion

REVIEW: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2.0 Micro Four Thirds Lens Review
This premium optic from Olympus for Micro Four Thirds system compatible cameras costs around ￡650 and offers a wide field of view equivalent to a 24mm lens on a 35mm camera, internal focusing and a fast f/2 maximum aperture.

My favourite wide-angle for use with MFT had previously been the four thirds Olympus ZD 11-22mm f2.8-3.5 lens, which I eventually and regretfully sold. But this new lens outperforms the zoom comfortably.
Pros:
- Absolutely superb build quality and good looks
- Fast and reliable auto-focus and very useful 'snapshot' manual alternative
- Colours and contrast similarly outstanding, and corner to corner sharpness can be obtained from f4 onwards.
Cons:
- None
- so long as you can afford it

Excellent Quality Prime Lens at a fair price
This lens is extremely sharp and fast. I have not had it for long, but the build feels very solid. I often use the Canon 24mm TS II & 17-40mm on a 5D Mark III, and the results are very comparable with this lens on an OMD EM1.

Sweet Little Lens
I have taken a number of really NICE shots with this little bugger ... some should be in the Gallery if you want to check them out. Or go to 500px.com/Kawhona to check out a variety of shots done with my E5. Complaints hey yes for a lens of this price you should get a hood and a little bag.

perfect but expensive
The best 24mm lens(in 35mm format)with high image quality and construction. At f/2, it is possible to shot handheld in the night. However, the lens is considered expensive. If you are a zoom lens fan goes Lumix 12-35/2.8 or 14/2.5 for much more economic choice.
