[Focus Gear] I bought this lense as my third for my M4/3 ELP-1. Excellent on photowalks to break up the look of a collection with some cool wide angle shots. Used it too much at first but have now worked out that it is best with large foreground subjects. I also use it on a monopod held over subjects for a different angle or a really interesting group shot. Pretty rugged as I dropped it on concrete from about two feet and no issues. Pricey but unique. No regrets.

[Rubber] One doesn't need it, but it is surely nice to have one.

[Rubber] I use this product for action sports in close proximity. I am able to capture my subject with the entire background. Fast moving subjects are crystal clear. Absolutely beautiful. My camera now weighs almost half of my previous SLR.

[0.095 lb] As the girlfriend of an amateur photographer, I got huge brownie points for this Valentine's Day gift. Yes, he WAS worth every penny. Overall he loves his Lumix, but I think he loves me more.

[Focus Gear] Though the Lumix 7-14mm can give you a similar DOF and range of vision, its rectilinear design cannot provide you with the Gilliam-esque look that this lens can.

[Focus Gear] Perfect complement for micro compatible cameras. I am using it on a GH2 with very impressive results....

[Focus Gear] I'm using this lens on an E-P3, and the results I have obtained are nothing short of amazing. Chromatic aberrations are extremely well controlled, even when shooting subjects against the sun, and the distortion isn't extreme - just right for a fisheye for my taste. The lens is extremely sharp and very compact, macro capability is amazing for a fisheye. If you're a fisheye enthusiast and are on the micro 4/3 platform, I definitely would not hesitate to buy this lens. A similar quality dslr lens costs twice to three times more...

[Focus Gear] Great product, use it for unique wide angle shots - landscapes, product shots and architecture.

[0.095 lb] Great fisheye for micro four thirds cameras. Small and lightweight and fun to use but not meant for flattering portraits as it can make your subjects to look like they belong in a carnival. My wife has banned me from taking pictures of her with it but I use it on as many other people as I can. You can get very interesting perspectives in really tight places and can keep almost everything in focus.

[0.095 lb] This is a fantastic lens! I'm a long time Canon shooter, and used most of wide-angles in Canon lineup over the years. None of them had a wow factor in sharpness this little guy has. Chromatic abberations are non-existant, and flare is well-controlled. Couple this with a tiny size, and this lens is a winner! A lot more spherical panoramas are in my future...
