Reviews

Olympus 12mm f/2 Lens Review by Thom Hogan:

I’m happy to see Olympus give us a high-specification m4/3 lens for a change. There’s little to complain about in terms of the execution of the lens itself, but Olympus isn’t providing a high-specification out-of-box experience. When you put this onto your camera and start shooting, you’re likely to run back to the store for a hood. Absolute pixel peepers will have some problems with the corners wide open, but as fast wide angle primes go, the 12mm f/2 is actually a very good lens.

The filter thread size on the M.Zuiko 12/2 is 46mm, which means you’ll want to be looking at purchasing 46mm filters.
