The 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount from Samyang is a manual focus, manual aperture, ultra-wide angle prime lens compatible with MFT format mirrorless digital cameras. It provides a 76.2° angle of view which translates into a 35mm format focal length equivalency of 28mm. A maximum aperture of f/2.8 is effective in low light shooting and provides shallow depth of field. With extra-low dispersion, aspherical and hybrid aspherical lens elements, chromatic aberrations are minimized and sharp, color-accurate images are the result. UMC lens coating facilitates even light transmission and reduces ghosting and flare. The minimum focus distance for this lens is 11".

BTW, I have 2 L Series Canon lenses that I have had for over 5 years each. Bonked, banged, dropped...still as sharp as a tack.
