Wide Shot In Movies

It is very solidly built and wide enough to get the shot you've always wanted.

Great fast wide lens. I use it a lot at every wedding i shot.

I've only used this lens a handful of times so far when I need a wide shot but I'm pleased with what I've been seeing so far.

wide angle gives great shot for graphic backgrounds

I've shot lots of Kodachrome movies over the years, but haven't had much success with B&W. Usually tri-x was all I could get which is too grainy for 8mm. This film hits the sweet spot.

Clear, crisp, highs and lows, perfect for the audiophile who loves movies, and a wide range of music. I upgraded from the Gen one Playbar and there is no comparison.

i used this lens for wide angle shot to capture Grand canyon and antelope canyons.

Adds a whole new perspective on almost any shot. If you're looking for a pro-level, super wide angle lens, then this is it!

A really nice wide lens with no vignetting. Great for travel when you need a wide shot, and excellent in low light!

I bought this to be the main lens fixed to my GX7, to be attached to the camera when not in use in lieu of a front camera cap. I figured it would also serve well as the just grab it and shoot kind of lens, where when I see a shot and need a camera quickly as possible, this one is waiting with a lens on it. At the 35mm equivalent of 28mm, you get a not too wide wide angle shot...back far enough for good group portraits or vacation/traveling scenes, but not so far back that you introduce too much ancillary subjects into the scene that you'd prefer to crop out. I was surprisingly impressed with picture quality. I wasn't expecting poor quality, but what I've gotten is high quality at any f/stop. Even wide open, the image was noticeably free of any aberration or color bleeding, albeit a bit soft, especially as you approach the edges. That's really the main con I have of the lens: it does tend to be a bit soft at the wider apertures, and there was slight light falloff to the corners when wide-open. I've used it predominantly indoors, sometimes without a flash, sometimes with, and in both instances the images were consistent and reliable. Focusing is fast and quiet. There is considerable noise once you go past ISO 800, but it is a micro four thirds camera after all...you gotta expect some noise at higher ISOs. The lens is so light and compact, you feel like you're shooting with the lens cap. I can't say how durable it is, since I have yet to test it in rain, and I haven't dropped it yet. But, it is very light and made of what feels like pretty cost-efficient plastic, so I wouldn't be using it as a hockey puck anytime soon. I doubt it's very rugged. The lens mounts and dismounts on the GX7 with perfect ease. I'd definitely recommend this lens to anyone who is looking for a lightweight, portable lens that delivers consistently good images.
