Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This lens is very versatile due to its focal length. I am very happy with this lens and the quality it delivers. Included with lens is a shade with a bayonet mount.

Used on panasonic lumix g7, this lens focuses insanely fast. Quality is sharp, autofocus is silent, the focus wheel has two modes.

Due diligence is the order of the day, as price typically does denote the quality. Image stabilization is beyond my expectation. Great shots indoors and outdoors with different lighting and all.

Its sharpness meets my expectations. Some of the cons are that there is focus shift.

I also hear there was not stabilization in the lens, and i have the panasonic g7 which doesn't have body stabilization.

Price


It's inexpensive, light, and produces amazing pictures.


The best bang for your buck of any lens hand down.


To be honest, i wasn't expecting much from this lens at this price point - i just needed something for wider shots.


Half the price of 25mm olympus prime lens.

Shipping


First one i received was likely a returned product that amazon just tossed back on the shelf (or someone selling through amazon).


Fortunately i could return the first one and amazon quickly shipped me a second one which included the lens hood.

Competitiveness


The alternative 45-175 or 45-200 which are either much more expensive and/or much heavier.


Comparable to standard 50mm lens in 35mm.
