This high-speed, single-focal-length, wide-angle lens is ideal for shooting high-quality, dramatic landscapes and street scenes in low-light conditions. It has a beautiful full-metal body and a snap ring that enables photographers to pan focus with a distance indicator.
Got the lens for about half the cost of a new one. Great image quality! To me, because of it’s wide-angle and low-light capability, it’s the best all-around lens for indoor shots without using a flash. The fact that it’s a prime lens, the image quality is superb! For outdoor day shots, I use my 12-50mm Zuiko zoom with one of those low-cost, 58mm, screw-on, wide-angle lenses on the end. Highly recommend the Zuiko 12mm prime!
Great lens, it was a little stiff getting it all the way rotated & locked into place on my Panasonic Lumix G7, but otherwise no complaints. I use it for video and the autofocus and low light capabilities are great.
If you’re looking for a prime lens for your Olympus Micro 3/4 Camera this is a great choice. Landscapes or street this lens is sharp, well made and durable.
