5.0 out of 5 stars Zuiko 7 - 14 mm Wide Angle Lens Review, November 1, 2008

I bought this lens in Oct 2008 on my Amazon Visa Card thinking I would get no interest payments for 24 months. It turned out I was wrong and had to do it on the Amazon Store Card to get those repayment terms. I was going to send it back, but I decided to try the lens out with my camera. I instantly fell in love with the results! There was no way I could ever send this lens back! It is now my favorite lens. I photograph many events that involve lots of people like parties and reunions. Many times these situations involve lots of people in close quarters. I bought this lens primarily for the purpose of being able to shoot a restaurant table full of people within close quarters, and yet get everyone included in the frame, without any of the rectilinear or pin cushion distortion one would encounter with most extreme wide angle lenses. This lens by Zuiko from Olympus proved to be the answer to my prayers. I love this lens! There is some distortion that appears to stretch the width of the subjects at the edge of the frame particularly in 7mm mode, but like any lens there is a learning curve that one has to experience to find the sweet spot of a new tool, and this lens is a great tool. I photograph the Graduate Student Events for Baruch College. I am an MBA student there too. Just type the words Baruch College Photos into Google and click on the 1st few links to see some of the photos taken with this lens. I use Olympus cameras and lenses only. The Zuiko 7 - 14 mm is top notch on my list.

5.0 out of 5 stars love it, December 30, 2008

The autofocus for that lens is noisy and you can't fit a filter. But the image quality is really mind blowing, that lens loves sky it really hug the blue sky. It's not cheap but if you are looking for super wide angel you can't beat that lens, it worth every penny
Highly recommended if you can afford it

The only way this lens could be better is if there was a way to attach a filter, but with Photoshop you can pretty well duplicate the filter effects so I still give it 5 stars. The DOF is amazing. You can get a flower in focus 2 feet away and at the same time include a building 100 yards away if you are so inclined. You can't do better than this lens.
