Getting used to its short length and it must first be extended.
And the Olympus is not ashamed to deliver no sunshade with and relies on an easy-looking polycarbonate version ...
It would be well suited to the small diameter of the filter, only polarizing filter make the large angle makes little sense, since it from 12 mm
show uneven effect.
Nevertheless, the lens is great and you can always even accommodate in your pocket and has thereby also mostly there.
Only one should never try the 4.0 / 7-14 mm from Panasonic -
Although this is visually somewhat weaker and recorded some wild - but the even greater area for significantly more exciting and higher light intensity
creates better opportunities in churches and other buildings - but the fun will cost even twice.
Therefore, for the MFT Olympus 9-18mm safe for most a better choice.
So small, so sharp and so brilliantly have wide-angle lenses have to be always.
The possibilities with this delightfully compact lens on Panasonic and Olympus MFT cameras
just great.
I was so few times to spectacular coasts and in the mountains and had brought the photos impress everyone, sharp, detailed, brilliant and unusual.
Only you should use it sparingly and consciously
it has little value for the open countryside unless one includes no foreground with.
It is strongest when you are standing close among the rocks or in the room.
I think it's expensive, but ultimately worth it.
To achieve the best performance I use it mainly with Aperture f: an 8: 5.6 and f.
If f: 5.6 vignetting is something striking and from f: 11 it loses its sharpness due to diffraction.
It is important to keep the front lens always dust free (because dust may otherwise be in focus in the picture).
A perfect complement to the Olympus 9-18 mm or Panasonic 7-14mm, especially for photographers who have otherwise seen it all, is the 8mm fisheye.
