reviews
-
extremely sharp in the centre even wide open, significantly softer at edges, sharpest at f/2.8
-0.38% of barrelling
v. low CA
produces very impressive results, images are crisp and clean and visually very satisfying.
resistance to flare is excellent
-
some vignetting
nice bokeh
-
comparisons with the Olympus 12mm f/2 and Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8
nice bokeh but cats-eye squashed oval shape bokeh highlights at their maximum apertures
much better closer focus magnification than the Olympus 12mm f/2 as lengthwise covers only 124mm compared with 171mm on the Olympus even though both are rated as close focus 0.2m
less distortion than the Olympus 12mm f/2
sharper edges even at f/2 compared to the Olympus 12mm f/2, but similar in the centre
