This specialised lens is more than capable of producing very high quality images with very good sharpness across the frame. Although flare may be an issue caused by the large bulbous front element, so long as a little care is taken to avoid the situations where this may occur, it is only a small...
The Best 4/3rds Lens. This is the lens that made m4/3rds a necessity. On a video or CSC camera it does not breath when focusing. Constant aperture is a bonus. Very well made and small for what it does. And did I say sharp. I should.

Costly - not for everyone
At the 7mm end of the zoom range, the lens has a diagonal angle of view of 114°, equivalent to that of a 14mm lens in a 35mm system.
The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm F4 is a remarkable lens - it may not be the widest angle zoom currently made (an honor held jointly by Sigma's 12-24mm for full frame and 8-16mm for APS-C), but its combination of ultra-wide view and compact size is unique.

Does not accept filters; Fairly strong lateral chromatic aberration at the widest settings when used on Olympus bodies; High price (much more expensive than Olympus 9-18mm F4-5.6

Landscape or travel photographers looking for a highly portable ultrawide zooms;
Budget-conscious buyers or habitual filter users;
Nicely built lens that is sharp as pins. Great range from ultra-wide 7mm (14mm equivalent) to wide 14mm (28mm equivalent). Not an inexpensive lens but build and image quality superb.
good focal length range
no filter thread
