The chatter is loud and fast, if one moves the camera to press the shutter button without. The pain threshold for this acoustic disturbance is different for everyone, but for me the sound passes over the border.
Subtracting the area of application of a high-aperture objective such as this into consideration, the chatter to a factor that the prospective buyers should consider. At the presentation of the sound at a theater performance in a dark quiet room with scattered bright light gives me goose bumps. In a ceremony to be a photographer for involuntary troublemakers in a quiet room, also worries.
All well and good, but the guy is not exaggerating a bit? Let everyone decide for themselves. The price would have on the lens Panasonic, this aspect, however, is enough to turn to my purchase, and I will not keep it.
Why only three out of five stars on Panasonic cameras, everything is but chic and Olympus's to blame?
Well, with the Micro Four Thirds standard Panasonic and Olympus have formed an association which the consumer should guarantee freedom of interchangeability. Without knowing who has slept from both here, I have to watch the chattering phenomenon as a common failure, therefore the deduction of points.
Conclusion: A very nice lens, but just Olympus users should make or test beforehand smart.
