The 7-14mm PRO has proven to just be an indispensable travel lens for me, as no lens gives you that sense-of-place “establishing shot” like a superb wide-angle. Anyway…if you and Jeff want to see sharp…get your hands on one of those new SamYang/Rokinon SP 14mm f/2. That said, sometimes it’s fun to get surreal, and in cases, there are no other options to tell a story without these ultra wide angles of view, so, different tools for different applications as it were.

You may have to work a little harder to direct your viewer’s eye through your scene to get it to where you want it to end up.In star fields, there's a bit less distortion than I'm used to with lenses this wide, even with the field curvature taken into account. Quite simply: the Olympus PRO range of lenses are Olympus’ answer to Canon’s L series lenses if you will. The lens has a compact, lightweight and weatherproof build, as well as the very best optical construction to deliver excellent results. The zoom ring also goes from minimum to maximum in about a quarter of a turn, with markings at 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 14mm. These artefacts are most obvious when the lens is mounted on Olympus bodies, but they’re also present on Panasonic bodies, just with a slightly less strong colour.

If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balan but even to f/8—and pulling the focus point ever so slightly forward (towards the camera) if I wanted to achieve best possible landscape shooting results with this lens in the corners.Dust, splash, and freezeproof construction ensures this lens' performance in inclement conditions and harsh environments. For an old guy like me, the “full retro” (“never go full retro” — Tropic Thunder joke, sorry) control implementation just seems natural. Along the way, he's shot extensively with cameras and lenses of almost every imaginable type, brand and format. Pro is a substantial lens which continues the smart styling of the 12-40mm and 40-150mm Pro lenses before it. But wideangle lenses are infamously more difficult to design, and this shows up when we examine images from the 7-14mm.
