Lenses to consider: Olympus Zuiko 4/3
Oh, and @Vitaliy: You are listing the Tokina 11-16mm under m4/3...is there a m4/3 version of this lens?
And the Panny 8mm fisheye? Wide open it's sharper than the 7-14mm. Of course it's fisheye.
Here the Oly 12mm f2 vs Panny 14 f2.5
9-18 oly is also on my list, one of the few wide-angle lenses that accepts screw filters!
@ttancredi
I have the olympus 9-18 m4/3 and it's a great super compact lens. Man that thing is tiny. Full wide is sharp corner to corner. I think I found it for $350 used?
In low light it's almost TOO sharp and tends to exaggerate noise maybe. More testing necessary with various patches and such to really confirm this.
Also got the Opteka 6.5mm fisheye. Also very sharp and a fun fun lens. I think it's the widest you can get and will cover an aps-c sensor too. I got it mostly for doing spherical panoramas but I shot some video while ice-skating and it works really well for high-action sports/ lot's of movement type shots. And out in the wide open it has less fish-eye-ness than I expected.
I tried convincing myself that 14mm was wide enough. ( the 14 pancake would be ideal than) But I really feel the need to go wider while trying (and spending weeks) to compose static powerfull shots. Most used lenght would be 8-10mm
This is the lens I use the most. You have to adapt it, the auto focus is a bit slow and noisy, but it's good. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/590390-REG/Olympus_261060_14_54mm_f_2_8_3_5_II_Zuiko.html
Anyone tried olympus 9-18mm for landscape shooting? Wonder if it is as contrasty as the pannys
Still waiting to invest some money in a good wide glass. ( meawhile shooting with wide adapter atached either to the 20 1.7 or the kit 14-42).
Just saw, on vimeo, some good footage of fisheye rokinon 7.5mm corrected on AE. a little soft in the cornerns but definetelly much better than wide converters..
Anyone else tried working around with fish-eyes?
Rokinon design really reminded me of voigtlander 15mm m mount.
How nice it would be having a proper wide reliable and highly portable lens.
