The lens is the smallest in the entire DSLR market. With 25mm of an FT sensor, the picture angle equivalent to a 50mm lens on a full frame camera. In order for this appearance is in normal focal length range and is thus as "Always-top lens" ideal.
If you have no battery grip on the E-620 and the front 25mm bolted it, then you have to keep almost feel a compact camera in his hands. Thus, the E-620 is equipped with the 25mm with me always with you. This combination is negligible face and fits into any conventional bag. In addition, the lens is so light that you hardly feel that is has ever a lens on the housing. The only downside: If you look from above on the camera so you can see that the lens applying something to the overall thickness of the combination. However, must be justified and rather insignificant in the flat case the E-620.
The light intensity is 2.8 with not necessarily a miracle of light. But 2.8 can be described as bright. In addition, a lens would be that would be even brighter, much larger and thus no longer to beichnen as Pancake.
From the AF speed is accustomed quickly. Is it the kit lens 14-42mm Olympus usual, so the 25mm pancake is a bit faster. Comparing it with the Olympus 12-60 SWD, it is of course slower. Where there never is a fair SWD lens similar to a normal! The speed in AF is therefore necessary to call quickly.
The figure Leichhardt Tung is a modestly priced lens actually amazing! Of course you can not compare a prime lens with a zoom. But the 25mm pancake is absolutely comparable with the Olympus 14-54mm at 25mm focal length. Comparing the imaging performance with the acclaimed Canon 50mm on the Canon 5D, one sees quickly that the Olympus 25mm pancake clearly won the comparison. No distortion, no blur, saturated colors and strong contrasts. The images shown here at Amazon.com, are the lens absolutely not fair!
Conclusion: If you pay attention to weight and also like good quality would always have this, which is well advised by Olympus 25mm pancake. Who already has a camera from the series E-400, E-500 and E-600, for this lens is actually mandatory. A disadvantage could be called the thickness of Obejtkivs. At the E-520 (as well as E-500, E-510, E-1, E-3 and E-30), it bears not on. The bodys determine the size. At the E-450 (as well as E-400, E-410, E-420) and the E-620 (as well as E-600), it carries easily. The camera is thus a tiny piece thicker. But that's not really disturbing and is a more affordable price for the quality delivered. It should benefit from the advantages of this Pancakes So every once.
