I worried about the low light performance of the M43 system, but with this fantastic lens, it's not a problem at all. Highly recommended!

Fantastic lens. Use on both my Olympus OM-1 and EP5. Great as a walk around lens for shooting street scenes and shooting museums indoors. Small enough on my EP-5 to carry in my pocket.

Love this lens -- very wide but almost no distortion, very sharp and relatively fast for an MFT lens.

Seems to work pretty well for aurora photography, if I can get the focus right.

It's so nice to have a wide-wide angle lens (18mm equiv) that's not only not a fisheye, but also very much rectilinear. Even on my old G85 the corrections seem to be working to straighten out lines -- except for the very edges of the frame. It's great for vlogging, but also architectural photos. And a very good price considering the Leica name!

Being wide and fast is usually rare, which is what makes this lens special. Not only is is gimbal ready, but it's a stop faster than most at this aperture AND it's a native Panasonic lens so it communicates with the body AND there's nearly no distortion which is characteristic of wide focal lengths.

Nice m4/3 18mm f1.7 great wide angle lens but like all wide angle lens, it is prone to flaring when shooting a backlit subject. I shoot in Raw File and fix the issues in post processing. Got this lens early because of an upcoming Utah trip.

Great light ultra wide to have in a small kit. Sharp image quality. Pairs nice with the Olympus 12-100 for walk around when you don't want to bring a bunch of gear.
