less so in corners"
"The Olympus 12mm f:2 is an amazingly light and compact lens, which fits comfortably in a shirt pocket, even with the hood attached. In my tests, compared with the Pany 12-35 f:2.8 and 7-14 f:4, at 12mm the lens is as good in the centre, but softer in the corners by at least 10-15% (one step on the...

Fantastic optics, beautiful design.
Beautiful jewel of a lens! I have the 12-40 F2.8 so was hesitant about buying a focal length I already had covered. But this lens has twice the light gathering ability as the zoom and is really small so great for taking out when you don't want anything bulky.

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.

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
