introduction
a much loved wide angle zoom for
Olympus Four Thirds dSLR system
, particularly optimised for event photography, but the newer
Olympus ZD 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD zoom lens
has largely replaced it given its longer zoom range.
practically diffraction-limited optics with some CA but better than Canon 24-70mm L lens

ePhotozine review
0.34% barrel distortion increasing to 2.64% at 11mm
no CA visible to the eye
edge-to-edge optically best 16mm at f/5.6, worst at 11mm
center is sharp wide open, but a touch better ar f/4
