Stop rubbing salt into my wound... I sold the 7-14 waiting for this lens... and I am still waiting...

Anywhere is a good place... its about finding the angle.

Seems to me like OLY SG is really slow in bring in new lenses... both from OLY and Sigma as well... I really wish they'd be more pro-active. :nono:

Maybe there is a BIG world wide demand .. and they can't make enough yet to satisfy the markets with a higher profit margin :dunno:

I have a bigger grouse with Sigma ... they don't seem to bring in any significant number of 4/3 lenses; you have to "order" it to get it.

Some image comparisons between 7-14mm, 9-18mm, 11-22mm and 12-60mm at aperture wide open and F8.0 at fourthirds-user.com:

I'm impressed with the build quality and the performance of this lens. The distortion at the wide end is not easily noticeable. Given the intended price point I would think that Olympus has a winner in the ultra-wide lens in standard category. Some may not think likewise though...

i agree with you more or less,this lens as well as the 7-14 makes me interested in wide angle photography :bsmilie:

[bruno84sg]
