Still missing your Oly reviews,Darren! Watched this one for fun as I already have the old 4/3 7-14 F4.0. A good reminder to use the 7-14 more. Finally got the 75mm F1.8 last year,& I see why you're keeping that one!

I know that this review is over 2 years old, but its comforting to hear a professional real estate photographer say that he would (or did, or does) use micro-four thirds for his shoots. It's reassuring for sure.

darren, i've used this zoom for ~10 months now, and totalliy agree with your review here. one thing - this lens exhibits a slightly more color saturated image compared to the others in the group. maybe oly thought ppl will use it for skies, etc, where blue is a biggy. nevertheless this IS one great piece of glass. thx, 'cos i bought this from this review of yours. j.

Hi great video, thanks. You convinced me to get this amazing lens. When I open to wide-angle (7-8mm) on my GH5 Lumix, it is impossible to have a clear focus, the image is all blur. Could you please help me? Is it a setting that I must do on my camera or is it a manufacturer issue regarding the lens? Thanks in advance.

Hey - neat review. Filming video in the Arizona desert at 25fps 50p for landscape inserts into my western films is what I would love this lens for. But without an ND filter this will be very tricky. I don't have a matt box and separate ND filters so what is the possible fix please. I don't want to shoot ay 100fps . Should I look at the Samyang or the Laowa 7.5 lenses perhaps?

Thank you for the review and for the lovely examples of what this lens is capable of. It is amazing to see how many professional photographers are migrating from big & heavy full frame monsters to the m4/3 and this includes yourself. I personally posses the E-M1 & 12-40 2.8 and I must confess they are a marvelous couple. The quality of images is mental. Thank you for pioneering the transition-evolution to smaller, high quality cameras which opens a whole new Era within the photography that seemed to get stuck on the full frame mammoths.

When the hand holdable high resolution mode makes its way down to the EM 1 and EM 5 mark 3 cameras this lens will make some outstanding landscape photos. The only drawback is I need a polarizer filter for landscapes and this lens doesn’t have filter threads. Bummer

Hi Darren, we bought the OMD em5 Mark II and the 7-14mm pro lens. My wife does video tours for REALTORS® in the city where we live. We're having a terrible time with image stabilization and 'jello' effect where the image wobbles? Have you every come across this? We love everything else about the camera and lens, but as she does a walking tour the poor image stabilization and 'jello' effect is not going over too well. Have you ever had issues with these items. We are using the iSm2 setting for video IS. Is this common or should we be sending the camera in for service?
@DarrenMiles
@DarrenMiles 8 жыл бұрын
Are you shooting hand held? Even the very best in body or Image stabilization systems are designed for handholding not walking. If you're walking and you need to do video you need to purchase a gimbal device that stabilizes the entire camera , handholding and walking with the EM five Mark I for video is unrealistic, you'll get all kinds of jello.

Awesome backyard you have. You must do good for yourself. Well done. Thanks for sharing another one of your impressions of what seems to be a great lens. Definitly wide angles for M43 are interesting due to the crop factor. This would be a great addition. Just have to see if I can justify the price, because it's a pro lens with a pro price... and I'm not exactly a pro myself. :P

Darren Miles Awesome. Glad to hear! Not enough people get to live their dream. Good on you. (I'm commercially active in aviation which is a great way to make a living as well, a real passion/calling of mine, but have found shooting stills and video to be another thing I really enjoy doing (for the time as hobby)). Glad you take the time to share your findings with us. Yeah, the crop factor really makes things rather difficult for wide shots. Speedboosting the APS-C 18-35mm f/1.8 Sigma and the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 helps a bit to have a nice basic range, but it's not that wide. And then you're back to full manual operation. I have a 8mm f/3.5 fish-eye, but obviously there's the distortion. A proper wide angle lens that has distortion in check and delivers optimum quality is really something to consider here. You had some great examples there.

I want this lens for my PEN F because the image quality is so damn good but I wish they would have made it F4 or something to keep it smaller and I want to use filters. I don't need F2.8 on a wide angle though I do know why others would such as shooting events indoors etc.

This looks like the best wide zoom lens for the Lumix GH5, which has great reviews. I will be doing real estate photography as well as having some fun shooting video and stills in the L.A. area (museums, landscapes, ocean).

Hi Darren, what settings did you use for autofucs with this lens on the GH4. I can't seem to get mine to AF...just shows MF in top right corner? I'm having the same trouble with the 12-40mm f2.8 - but the 40mm-150mm auto focus works straight away. Love your reviews by the way. I bought all 3 Olympus pro lenses after watching.

Hi Darren, I'm shooting real estate with this lens on a GH4. It's making my rookie work look pro (most of the time!) and I'm really thankful I made the investment. But I sometimes struggle with composing shots because sometimes objects on the edges are distorted. For example, a doorway or a window on the left or right edge of the picture is stretched and looks wider than it really is. I could step back, or narrow it 10mm, or something like that, but in doing so I end up giving up the shot that I want. Do you have any training material that teaches how to compose shots with a bulbous wide angle lens like this? Or is this something that you clean up in post? The sample pictures you put in this video look great and I do not see the distortion. Thanks.

So I'm continually having to take off the transmitter to bracket the photo then attach it to fill w my flash. Any ideas or thoughts for shooting with the Gseries for real estate with a flash?

+Zade Aerial Given the choice, I'd always go with native glass first. The Tokina is nice, but even with the speedbooster I don't think it would be quite as wide, and for all it's greatness, the 11-16 suffers mightily from chromatic aberrations... The 7-14 - in my opinion - is an overall better way to go...

On a somewhat different note how do you see the resolving power of this current crop of Pro Olympus m4/3 lenses holding up in the not to distant future.

Hi Darren, long time lurker of your channel, first time commenter.

I do enjoy videography and content creation for my own purposes tho. I was thinking of getting a gh4 or GX85 or possibly wait for the em 1 mk2 or gh5 with this olympus lens. I'm guessing dual I.S. would never work on the GX85 with this lens is that correct? I'm debating between going with this setup or a metabones speedbooster with a canon 10-18. What would you recommend?

I was really interested in the Panasonic 7-14 equivilant until I saw this video, The build quality looks a tad better and they are roughly the same price when I last checked.

+Ian Cassanova The Oly's a bit more, but with the f/2.8 and more robust build, I think it's worth it - it's a stellar lens!!

Darren! First of, lovely videos, appreciate 'em a lot! Second, I've been looking around for ages deciding what to buy. I sold my Olympus 9-18mm as I wanted something more wide-angle that will perform well in lo-light situations. Cheap C-mount wideangle lenses didn't work for me (no infinity focus) so my question is, would this be the best solution? It's quite expensive, but I can't seem to find something similar as the Panasonic doesn't quite do it with it's F4.0.

+FilmDat Both are good, edge to the Oly, plus it's f/2.8 throughout the zoom range and the Oly handles both flare and CA's better.

Ash Hashemi yes, but not anymore than most other wide angle lenses. I had a much more difficult time with the Panasonic 7-14

Hey Darren, do you recommend a certain ND filter to go with this lens? Bought the lens after watching your review, and now wanting to incorporate an ND filter.... Thank you! Luke from Seattle.

Great! Based on YOUR REVIEW (!) I got one of these for my Olympus M5 Mark II a few months ago and have never looked back! Thank you so much. By the way, there is a nice filter holder for this camera lens at "Phil Norton Photography" online, as well as an easy DIY version on the the Nhat Phan YT channel (I did the later and it works great).
