    • Great lens. The Ultimate m43 UWA lens IMHO.
Great lens so far. Bought it as replacement for my Olympus 7-14/2.8. The Olympus 7-14/2.8 is an amazing lens, but I found it more useful when doing serious work, but a lot less for walk-around. It was big and heavy (in m43 standards), would not take normal filters, and the adapter for 100mm square filters for it was decent, but required gentle handling. Finally the bulbous front element always made me worried I would bump it into something. The PanaLeica fixes pretty much everything I didn't like about the Olympus lens - it's smaller, much lighter (just a bit over half the weight!), and takes 67mm filters or filter holder adapters. It's the perfect walk-around lens, esp as it is also a little longer. Build quality seems really good - it may be half-a-step lower than the spectacular build quality of the Olympus PRO lenses, but it still feels very well built. Metal constructions, extremely smooth zoom and focus, and while the front element moves with zooming, it moves inside the barrel, so if you put a clear filter on top, you can assure no dust will go in. The "price" you pay - is that it's only 8mm wide, not 7mm, and that it's 2.8 only @ 8mm. Personally I find that a reasonable price to pay for what I get. If I need faster lens in the longer range, I can switch to other lenses. In terms of image quality - I have not yet stress tested it - but it seems sharp across the range even wide open. AF is fast and accurate as with all modern m43 lenses. It is also parfocal. Finally - as I use it on Olympus (EM1II) I was a little concerned of potential issues with purple flaring as with the Panasonic 7-14/4. I'm glad to say I have not encountered such issues yet, despite aggressively shooting into light sources... ... show more

    • From a Olympus user, this is the best ultra wide m43 lens (better than the Olympus 7-14mm Pro)
1. Background, I'm very familiar with the Olympus m43 line and some of the Panasonic lens line (i.e. I have the Olympus 12-40mm, 12-100mm, 40-150mm, Panasonic 12-35mm, 35-100mm etc... and I have some other stuff, but you get the point). I also forgot to mention that I've tested the Olympus 7-14mm and the Panasonic version as well. 2. On a tangent, I wasn't impressed with the recent Panasonic / Leica 12-60mm as well as their super telephoto (100-400mm) and thus I was dubious about the quality of this lens. I readily admit I was wrong about my reservations about this lens; again, I'm not a Panasonic lens expert but of the various ones I've owned / tested, this is their most impressive lens. 3. Several Impressions: -- Well built; I would say that the Olympus Pro lens feel more robust, but that's not to mean this isn't well built. -- Perfect size: this may relate to the above impression that it doesn't feel as robust compared to the Olympus Pro Line but for me, at least in this instance, that's a good or ok thing. Simply because the size is fairly compact, it is relatively light; really nice for a m4/3 camera. As an example, I would say that the Olympus 12-100mm is on the border of too large / heavy for a m43 camera and I use the EM1 v2. --Feel / action: very good and smooth --Quality: I haven't done scientific experiments but in comparing this to my other lens (at similar focal lengths, when possible) and shooting on a tripod etc... etc... Yes, this lens is excellent. Obviously most folks are going to wonder how sharp this lens is at 8mm; it's really good. I'm going to tick off people, but from my recollection and in reviewing my prior test shots (because I don't have the Olympus 7-14mm at home), this Panasonic is definitely sharper. Of course the Olympus is wider by 1mm, but the Panasonic has the overt advantage of size (i.e. lighter), image quality (yes, I'm opinion) and ability to utilize filters. Highly recommended ... show more

    • Great rectilinear wide angle lens for video and photography
This lens has been great for doing real estate video and photography with my GH5 camera. The image is sharp and clear. The autofocus does not hunt and is very quick to grab focus when flowing motion. I have also used this lens for some upclose nature photography of mushrooms and other small flowers and plants. This lens is also a grerat vlogging lens as it allows for a close focal distance while still allowing the background to be shown. This lens was worth every penny and has become a primary lens for me. The best part of this wide angle lens is the fact that you can screw on ND filters. Most wide angles have a bulging lens that prevents a filter being natively attached. ... show more

    • Great but not perfect.
Bought lens for filming with and for the occasional trip photography. All in all it’s a good lens but not worth the price. Color it produces isn’t fantastic and you definitely have focus roll off in the corners. Build quality is perfect and stabilization works great.

    • GODLY LENS!!! Leica and Panasonic's BEAST
Super-wide angle to 36mm equiv. (18mm) makes everything so much easier. I used to shoot solely on fast primes so I was leaning towards the 12mm f/1.4 panaleica, but this baby came out and I pulled the trigger on this purchase. Not regretting a single moment. Aside from the heavier, bulkier build, which is easy to get used to, this lens provides varied perspectives with enough lighting and the image quality provided by the Leica design and Japanese engineering. Definitely try out this lens, and you might fall for it, too. Videographers, this lens is butter, the zoom is parfocal so you don't need to worry about autofocus, etc. Though the autofocus drive in this lens is very fast (240fps auto focus drive). 4K and on... puffintreesco.com ... show more
