11. Summary
- nifty casing with interesting design,
- sensational image quality in the frame centre,
- good image quality on the edge of the frame,
- slight chromatic aberration,
- zero distortion,
- excellent coma correction,
- moderate vignetting,
- silent and very accurate autofocus.
Cons:
- modest accessory kit,
- noticeable astigmatism at the maximum relative aperture.
The next test of the Olympus equipment shows that fixed-focal lenses, produced by that company you can buy practically on spec. The company keeps a high quality level of its optics and they don’t launch any trash. Overall I get an impression that it is Olympus which emerges unscathed from a deluge of recent slip-ups, service notes and software actualizations. Their products are carefully polished up so the first customers aren’t turned into beta-testers. Nowadays it is really worth emphasizing and praiseworthy.

I don’t write a lot about the lens itself because there is no need to go on about it. Firstly it doesn’t have any competition in the Micro 4/3 system, secondly it is so good that you can recommend it to anybody, as we are doing right now.
