This is such a good video! I had the 17mm f1.8 and ended up selling it because of the glitchy manual focus. I moved through some other lenses and now have the 15mm. It’s not bad. Manual focus is pretty predictable.

[@pabloitare]

Hi! Wich is the problem with the manual focus of this lens?

[@ARmy2510]

@@pabloitare It's not linear so it's useless for filmmaker. Try keep in focus moving object and you will fail:)

[@AlexMinor]

Dude.... I love the style of your videos. If you put out content more often I'm sure you'd get a ton of subscribers. I know it prolly takes hella long to make one of these vids, tho.

[@samwood357]

Always gives me a feeling of emptiness when I'm watching and enjoying a good video and then go to check out the channel only to see that the last upload was 2 years ago... Hope all is well.

[@fnaibaf]

This was way greater than I expected! Keep em comin'

[@Komaticom]

Way more entertaining than I had expected. Found your vid from the reddit m43 sub

[@user-bo7kp4hg8j]

This is one of the most underrated videos I have ever seen.

[@yalepimiskern1037]

This was so hilarious and informative. Got myself the Olympus a couple days ago and couldn't find a decent review. Boom Falucho got me covered. Subscribed and wanting more...

[@remirsinlae8651]

Great review! Very helpful for selection between this and the Lumix 15mm. Looking forward for your other review videos.

[@jasonavant5210]

Missed your reviews, glad to see you back!

[@fox1574]

Hey man, just wanted to say that I found your channel today when looking for reviews on this lens and ended up binge watching all your videos LOL. You just gained a new subscriber. Please keep it up, you have great comedic sense and your filmmaking in general is really pleasant. That "atmospheric" grading and retro style of editing are amazing. As someone who just got into filmmaking as a hobby, this is weirdly inspirational (grass might be greener on the other side, but maybe getting an engineering degree and grinding the corporate life might not have been the best idea :/ ) Anyway, thanks for putting this out and please keep making these!

[@lanmooo]

Best review on youtube in my opinion！Bought it and love it because of your video. Thx man. Keep making stunning contents. Big fan!

[@PandemoniumBigBand]

So good. Please make more videos! I watched all of your videos 4-5 months ago when I was first deciding which lens setup to get for my recently purchased G85. Having watched tons of product reviews and tutorials... your are BY FAR the most entertaining while also being very informative. I did eventually choose this Olympus 17mm f1.8. I am using it mostly for talking head (of myself) and for videos of me playing trumpet. The setup works very well for me. Thank you!

[@ericminerv]

This has to be by far, the best lens review ever.

[@rubiotv]

Killed it!! I’m so glad I found your channel.

[@pcaso6300]

Greatest review on you tube period. Keep it fresh, you're gonna blow 👏🏾👏🏾

[@ekkanofiqandriyana7325]

brilliant video love the humor LOL.. love the lens love the narrator subscribed

[@andrea1955]

This video has such pristine energy. Great work!

[@sinothandodiko3055]

Really enjoy your videos bro I use the same system and you have opened my eyes to how great it can be combined with the right lenses and filters

[@jacobortega2435]

Dude how do you only have 500 subscribers?? Love these reviews, man. Thorough and informative, but also ~actually~ entertaining, not like other reviewers on youtube who try to be entertaining but I'm just like shut up and get to the point. Keep up the good work!

[@q4short]

Dope video man, rare to find gems like these on youtube

[@otnol]

Stumbled here while randomly searching for 4/3 lenses and fund the best review ever. Thanks KZbin Algo.

[@saminasufovski2167]

Yooo this is way too underrated!!! I loved watching this... I laughed af watching it then when i saw the views I was surprised how few it had..

[@JericTamayo]

Love your presentation. Very entertaining to watch while learning about the lens!

[@Group51]

This is a superlative review. Outstanding!

[@tomastapia8078]

That intro tho!!! Amazing video and review

[@Ulalayumyum]

bruh this is hella entertaining. subbed! hoping to see more videos!

[@adamdude]

How amazing would it be if Panasonic released a firmware update that lets you choose the gain of your focus ring? With the kit lens being focus by wire, I'd love to be able to focus from macro to infinity with like a quarter of a turn if I so choose

[@barcangel22]

what a unique way for doing a review! i love this haha.

[@thientrieu91291]

Stumpled upon your video by accident, and man, this videos cracks me up lol.

[@theVHSvlog]

I found your channel like 6 months ago. I completely forgot the name and had been searching for it since. I was in the market for a wide prime and found the 17mm 1.8 as a good candidate. And it lead me back to you bb

[@theVHSvlog]

​@@asstheticpictures thanks my guy and nice I always see film school kids shooting fight scenes in warehouses. good spots for sure

[@bdebfdea]

Make more videos, bro. Your videos always remind me what the G85 is capable of.

[@dudinacas]

Was not expecting the Ridge Racer music. Awesome review.

[@PglBiscuite]

Still waiting on that lowa review my G. Thank you fo' this awesome review.

[@NomadSunBae]

loooooove your video! so fun and creative and informative!!

[@pedrodieguez3605]

really good video! Easy to watch and informative. Keep on it!

[@Mraz75]

I just love the way your visual explainer and it is damn creative.

[@nabiljamil9527]

Looks like you haven't posted in over a year but just want to say thanks to your input I've decided to go for the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 and 30mm f/1.4. Subbed and turned on the notifications in case you come back because these are so much more than just reviews!

[@anto0910]

BEST GEAR REVIEW VIDEO EVER

[@Bokasun]

I never have a plan to get this lens but finally bought it after watching this review.

[@justdontstop]

Man, its amazing! Great style of Storytelling! ☺ And, veeery useful specs and facts about the lens. Thanks) That s more interesting vs traditional talking head video about photo gear ) Wish u hundreds thousands of subscribers)) 😉

[@leoacqueberge]

Thank you for this amazing review 🤩

[@juancarlosg.zuniga1410]

You deserve sooooo much more views and subscribers!! What a great video :')

[@vladislava_mc]

what camera body goes best with Olympus Pen F M Zuiko Digital 17mm f1.8 lens ? Maybe few options. Thanks.

[@PrimalShutter]

Great review, the casual clips makes me want to film more

[@scottdang4704]

Yo. Great video. Cool edits. Just picked up this lenses from Amazon. Thx for the tip on the $8 lens hood.

[@birupekat4892]

Hi! It's a coolest review I've ever seen. But I'm sorry for asking. I'm bit confuse to choose between Panasonic Leica 15mm f1.7 vs Olympus 17mm f1.8? maybe you can make a comparrison review or please give me an advice. thankyou!

[@ryt-is]

I absolutely love your presentation style! Here, have a sub!

[@Lord_Atom]

Question regarding the lens hood: the lens cap the lens hood comes with seems to cover the much wider opening. I was just wondering if the original lens cap can still fit when your suggested lens hood is attached? The reason I'm asking is I'd prefer to keep using the original lens cap so I can reverse the lens hood for more efficient storage when not in use. I hope that made sense.

[@Lord_Atom]

@@asstheticpictures Got it. Thanks for the response. Definitely less convenient but still may be worth it for the savings.

[@jrd4546]

great video.. may i ask,, what the best for video bro ? sigma 16mm 1.4 or this lens ?

[@PreBound]

Olympus 17mm f1.8 vs Panasonic leica 15mm F.17 What it better in autofocus ?

[@space_1073]

Your videos ares awesome I wish you posted more!

[@Andy-po5en]

great review! and video overall, i would definitely love to [see] a review comparing the laowa vs olympus.

[@robertorraya]

Hello, I have a question, if I use that lens on my Lumix camera, can I use the manual and automatic focus as if I were using any Lumix lens?

[@manousoskakouris9885]

man ur videos are really fun and unique! I dont know what u r doing but I feel I should tell you to start doing this again!

[@sdhute]

Good review. Trying to decide on the three lenses myself. Sounds like the sigma 16mm is alot bigger then the Olympus 17. Did you use auto focus for this video ?

[@mohammedabbas7776]

Really like your review style

[@SmoothNanners]

Great video! Quality is fresh. I also have a G85 and the Panasonic 25mm f1.7, 12-35mm f2.8, and Canon FD 50mm f1.4 with adapter for portraits. I use these for photos and videos. I saw a good deal on the Panasonic 15mm also, but that's a little too wide for my use cases. Been looking for something a little wider than the 25mm and this lens looks decent. Found one like new for $269.

[@asamakarn]

Really cool man. I got it. Luv ur energy

[@HurkelMantenegri]

Best reviews on the internet

[@JohnBoyHoey]

Great video! I'm currently trying to decide between buying the Olympus 17mm or the Laowa 17mm. So a Laowa review/comparison in the future would be awesome! (Plus I think you'd be the first to do it as I haven't seen a video comparing these 2 similar lenses anywhere)

[@joelalimboyoguen8900]

this is some high quality content

[@lena_life_channel]

The best video I have ever seen! Thanks! It's crazy funny! I have a lot of troubles of this lens. I hope I will find the answer why the colour of all my videos is always changing during process. I spent 4 days testing different options but still in the same situation.

[@AdventuresOfAbigail]

Do you notice clicking in the audio when filming? I’m looking to get this lens but mainly for video and others have noticed a clicking sound in the audio.

[@AdventuresOfAbigail]

falucho.mp4 that’s great, thanks for the swift reply!

[@Albert-nt3gb]

Thank you Sir, informative and helpful to my research.

[@SmoothNanners]

If you leave the manual focus clutch engaged and power the G85 off and on, does the focus stay where you set it? I use the Panasonic 25mm as a stationary webcam sometime and the focus resets when I turn it off and on.

[@SmoothNanners]

@@asstheticpictures That setting did the trick 💯 You rock! Thanks!

[@sulaialfaidi4310]

Really good video and édition bro ! From a Moroccan - Spanish boy living in Brussels Thanks for the information, I was beetwen de 25mm from lumix and this one, And finally I Will go for this one !
