Despite playing with it for only a few minutes in the tiny corridors and spaces of the abandoned factory, what I saw looked promising. This is particularly true for Olympus users, who can always employ the camera’s in-body image stabilisation.

So whether you’re in a field or up a mountain, or just outside photographing a couple for their pre-wedding shoot or lifestyle shoot you’ll be safe in the knowledge this lens can handle those situations. It is also the second super-wide angle zoom lens for the Micro Four Thirds system but has a constant aperture of f/2.Not least of which is down to Yahoo’s horrible and constant tinkering to try and turn it into an instagram clone. After shooting with this lens for over three weeks, I can safely say right away that the 7-14mm f/2. At the 7mm end of the zoom range, the lens has a diagonal angle of view of 114°, equivalent to that of a 14mm lens in a 35mm system.

Add to that, with various “crop” formats, the physical focal length needed to achieve these angles of view has to be remarkably short which provides other engineering challenges. Thanks very much for this review, it proved to me just how much I have been bitten by the photography bug. Talking about video, the lens can also be an interesting option for filmmakers who use Black Magic Cinema cameras.PRO lenses feature the most premium quality optics, superb build quality and are dust, freeze and splash proof.

But wideangle lenses are infamously more difficult to design, and this shows up when we examine images from the 7-14mm. As a fast, high-performance wide-angle zoom, this Micro Four Thirds lens pairs an optimised optical layout with refined physical details to excel in a variety of working conditions. If you're shooting landscapes, try not to tilt up or down with this lens and then don't correct the barrel distortion, and you'll get better corner definition. The second picture below shows the worst flare I got with this lens but it happened only once and the sun was clearly in my frame. This allows you to shoot at half the sensitivity or double the shutter speed under the same lighting conditions.But today, I want to emplore and encourage you to take a serious look at the wonderful Olympus 7-14mm f/2. PRO lens itself is very well built, fully living up to the PRO designation that Olympus have given it.
