Wow first thing i noticed about this lens is the Size and light weight, Had a Nikon with the Tokina 12-24mm which i loved but i wanted a highly compact set up so purchased a second hand E-410 and this lens based on my reserch on the size and weight of the combination and the highly positive reviews on the performance of the Lens.Was suggested that there is tiny amounts of distortion at the wide end esp compared to the Third party offerings.Seems very sharp and contrasty even wide open and Flare is very well controlled.To sum up i really love using this lens and the combination with the Small Olympus cameras is very very lightweight 700 grams ish compared to 600 for the Tokina lens alone !! and all very small and discreet great for street photography and just about long enough at 36mm for a natural pespective.Highly recommended and enough for me to have an Olympus camera based on this lens alone ! Brilliant .Lastly i can handhold at the wideangle at about 1/6 shutter speed so easily usable in doors and at night without a tripod.

This lens has opened up a new world for me, helping to create some dramatic photos of buildings, skyscapes and nature. I especially like the way it stretches distance, giving plenty of sense of space. Depth of focus is considerable, allowing a foreground flower to dominate the shot with the backdrop receding away in the distance. The lens is small and light and fast to focus. The only problem is trying not to include your shadow if the sun is behind you.

I have a Canon 10-22 mm as well and it's better quality, but not hugely better, it's significantly bigger & heavier, and both lenses are equally pleasant to use. For the trade-off between quality, size & weight the Zuiko is great. There is distortion at the shortest focal length, but it's surprisingly hard to spot. Curiously, on the holiday to Brussels where I took my first shots, it was the spheres of Brussels' famous Atomium monument that gave away the distortion, rather than straight lines in the corners of the frame. The resolution looked excellent, although I'm just a keen-ish amateur so I didn't pick over the details or do any precise tests. Overall, it seemed mean to withold the 5th star given the obvious & intentional trade-offs mentioned. This lens is a pleasure to use, and I would say that by absolute standards the image quality is 4.5 stars, the build quality 4 stars (but as good as it could be for the weight, and it definitely does NOT come across as a cheaply made lens) and the usability / pleasure 5 stars. I love my Canon lenses but got fed up of the weight of the Canon kit for certain kinds of trips abroad. The Olympus offerings are a fine alternative in this sense; this lens fits into that philosophy very effectively. It's the kind of lens where you look at it attached to the camera and think "that's cute, it just looks great" - shallow I know but there it is! And you may as well enjoy that aspect, given that the hard factors are more than respectable. One last thing - Olympus lens caps are excellent, very secure! Quite a costly lens, but most of similar spec are costlier still, and this for me, is well worth the money.
