On the Olympus PEN E-P3 body we used for this review, the lens focused quickly and quietly. AF speeds were extremely fast, with the lens locking on to the subject almost instantly in most cases.

Trying to convince your wife to let you buy a $650 lens when you already own the Oly 45mm, Panasonic 14mm, and Panasonic 20mm is no simple task. But as luck would have it (and 2.5 glasses of wine), she agreed and I made the purchase before she realized what she had agreed to. No regrets though.

I do a lot of street/candid photography and bought this lens to give me a wide-angle option alongside the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 and Olympus 45mm f1.8. I use a Panasonic and Olympus camera bodies (GF1, G2 and E-PL3.

Compact; Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

No Supplied Hood; Pricey; Silver Only

I use it more for Video than photo, and I change from Canon to M4/3 mount because of that kind of lens! and especially for the price =)

A must have lens for Wide angle without aberration.

the lens is so small,
Not every follow focus will fit this lens.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh; Olympus Gh3; Rugged

Follow Focus; Very Small

Sharp optics, great contrast, an elegant and well-built lens. Great for street photography. It would have been perfect if it was black and with a lens hood.

Got the Olympus 12mm f/2 lens for M4/3 mount about a week ago and have had a chance to play with it a bit. Many people like me use the micro four-thirds cameras with old 35mm manual-focus film lenses adapted to them, which, based on the field of view you get, effectively multiplies the focal length...

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

Superb metal build quality; Good AF/MF control; Hyperfocal scale; Excellent optical performance in the centre at fast apertures

Premium price (although in this case; you get what you pay for; No hood or case provided

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.
