Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do we know yet if the lens hood on this lens is removable? I've only seen promotional photos of the lens with the hood on. If it's not removable, it may be a challenge to include filters, which is one of the main reasons I held off purchasing the Panasonic wide angle lens, as I use filters quite often.

A: The Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 has a built in lens hood, so will not have a filter thread. At this time, using filters with this lens is not an option. Perhaps there will be filter holders designed for the lens after its release, but no manufacturers have an option for the lens at this time.

Q: 2. Hi. Is this 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO lens compatible with Olympus PT-EP13 underwater housing ?

A: The Olympus PT-EP13 housing as sold is not compatible with the 7-14mm. Though, you might be able to get a third party dome port. I would suggest contacting our Underwater Department directly via email: uw@a href= http://bhphoto.com target= _blank bhphoto.com/a

Q: 3. Is this fisheye or rectilinear?

A: It is rectilinear. It does have some mild distortion, but it is easily corrected in post.

Q: 4. How does this lens work with a Panasonic GH4? How does it compare to the Panasonic 7-14?

A: This is a standard MFT mount so will work fine with the GH4. the Zuiko 7-14 is a fabulous lens! Super sharp corner to corner, fast f 2.8. I'm loving it. I have not used the Panasonic 7-14 so I suggest you read Gordon Laing's reviews at Camerlabs about these two lenses for in-depth evaluation to help you decide.

Q: 5. Does this lens have built in image stabilization that can be used with the GH5's IBIS?

A: The Olympus 7-14mm f2.8 Pro does not have in-lens image stabilization. I have had it for a couple of weeks and used it already on two overseas trips. It's an extraordinary lens. I went into the B&H store in Manhattan to buy the lens in person. While there, I was able to mount both this lens and the Panasonic 7-14mm f4 on my own camera and take photos in the store. Both have excellent image quality and are absolutely rectilinear (i.e. straight lines appear straight, even at the edges of the frame and even at the widest end of the zoom range.) As many online reviewers have noted, the Panasonic lens has obvious purple fringing when used on Olympus cameras. This problem apparently does not affect Panasonic cameras. So if you're okay with losing one stop of light, the equivalent Panasonic lens is very good. It's also smaller, lighter and about $300 cheaper.

Q: 6. What is the best way to clean the ZERO coated lens such as this? Especially since a filter cannot be placed on it.

A: I called Olympus tech support. Any photographic lens cleaning solution can be used. Use a microfiber cloth and spray one corner of the cloth with cleaning solution. DO NOT spray the cleaning solution directly on the lens. Starting in the middle of the lens, rub the corner that has been wetted with the solution in a circular motion out toward the periphery of the lens. Repeat the motion with the dry portion of the microfiber cloth. Use a light touch with the cloth at all times to avoid trapping any debris against the lens and scoring it accidentally.I usually used a blower to puff some air on the lens to clean off as much dust and loosely adhered debris prior to using any cleaning solution. It may be that you won't need to use the cloth/cleaning solution at all.

Q: 7. is this 7-14 mm lens to heavy for my Olympus m5IIII am a bigger and need wide angle for selling boats n(interior shots need to be better than Olympus kit lens 14-150mm? I have compared weight and I am adding 10oz.... thank you.

A: This lens would not be too heavy to use with the OM-D E-M5 III.

Q: 8. It appears this lens will not accept filters. Is this true?

A: The Olympus 7-14mm f/2.8 does not have a filter thread, so will not accept standard circular threaded filters. And, at this time there isnt a filter holder option for the lens.

Q: 9. How is this lens for night orastro photography?

A: Very good lens

Q: 10. Will this lens work perfectly with panasonic bodies? For example, the fn botton, pull down focus ring, auto focusing speed and image quality.

A: The Oly lens will certainly mount on the Panasonic camera and meter perfectly. The image quality depends on the sensor size and your ability to control the camera functions for best quality. I don't know if the bells and whistles of the Oly lens will work or not. I hate to let your local camera store be the local showroom for B&H, as many are these days, but possibly the salesman would help you try it on a body. (I wouldn't mention for an instant that you were going to purchase through mail-order in order to get B&H's superior return policy and rock-bottom prices--it always seems to antagonize the salesman).Frankly, my local camera store does not have as good a return/service policy as B&H, in addition to charging full MSRP for items...
