Rated 5 out of 5

Exceeded my expectations

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!

Sweet Lens

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!

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

Works for me

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

Vary happy!

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!

Fast, light wide angle lens

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 lens to have. Autofocus is great.

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 ultra wide to have in a small kit.

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.
