Has anyone tried this lens on a full frame? I'm assuming there's some pretty bad vignetting… but my dad likes weird lenses and I was thinking about getting him this for his full frame sony. Any thoughts or experience?
Well here we are again now with a Z50ii …..I am looking at this lens again and thinking of buying it …………81 dollars CADS on AMAZON CANADA ….need to wait until after XMAS as some large bills are coming in but I hope it will be able to buy one at that price JAN 2-25 and hope I can use your link to get you a Kick Back …..thanks ROB
Don't know why I'm searching out reviews of this lens when I already have one. 😂 I'll say that when I put it on my E-Pl6, the setup is so ridiculously pocketable, it even all fits inside the microfibre pouch the lens comes with.
Sir can I use this to Nikon d7100?
If this thing had filter threads… it would be perfect.
Good review, and thanks for the settings. I'm putting it on a X-T3
I whish they'd have it as 23-25mm for APC version
the stupidest lens I have owned … i love it
best , most comprehensive evaluation of this lens I have seen.
The velvia edit is a key bit of info.
thanks Rob.
Not quite understand why someone would want f6.3 max lens 🙂 But thanks for nice and warm review
This a 'nice to have' fun lens which is cheap and lets me shoot photos like I do with a smartphone. Just enjoy being creative and free yourself from all the technical gizmos 😅
Dear Rob, Great review ! Perhaps not the best lens someone can buy for their camera, but mounted on an Olympus, and more specifically an Olympus E-P series camera, your camera turns into a tiny and smart compact camera with interchangeable lenses. And at the same time it makes it so inconspicuous that this combination is ideal for street and event photography. It's like taking photos with your smartphone.
Your SOOC quite great!
Loved the before & after images! It shows the potential. Going to buy one after watching this.
Your editing is very good.
Quick and helpful review. Thanks a lot! 👍
I’m looking at this lens to simulate my old 6×6 film camera with an 80mm for cheap. A 28mm full frame lens cropped to square gives the same field of view as the 80mm on 6×6, the 18mm will be about 27mm on my crop sensor :).
This lens looks like a blast to use. It seems ideal for creative BW or retro film sim photos.
Hi Rob,if you were to pick between the Olympus 15mm bodycap lens and this lens,which would you go for? I’m deciding between the two 😅
I have the original UFO version and I like it but can’t seem to find the updated version 2 for M4/3’s. Any clues? Thanks.
If I had a small camera I used for pretending it was a film camera I would consider this lens for a bit of fun and the retro experience. But with my limited budget I’d prefer to put the money towards saving for a lens I would actually get a lot of use out of. Maybe now this mark 2 version is out someone will be selling their old mark 1 copy for £10, then I might be tempted 😂
Thanks for the review Rob.
Until recently I was using an Olympus E-M1 for my street photography and the lens I have certainly enjoyed the most is the Olympus 15mm f8 (caplens).
Relatively recently I acquired the Fujifilm X-E4 and was looking for a similar lens for my street photography. I tried the mark I version of this 18mm f6.3 but it was very disappointing. I guess I would get a lens that mistakenly passed the quality tests. The chromatic aberrations and lack of focus made it unusable.
I hope this II version has improved.
It might be a fun lens but I just can't see the point of buying this very poor (IQ wise) lens. Why waste our hard earned money?
It can be a very useful for street photography or video with BIS. I think the previous version has less flaring but anything below 2m is a bit blurry.
Hey Rob, nice pictures 🪷
I hope you're doing well!
Manual focus. Going back to the 1970s. Pfft junk
Made in China.
So much of digital photography is in the data processing. It is like the camera and lens plays only a minor part in image making these days unless you want scientific levels of precision and accuracy, or perhaps massive emlargement. Photography is for making art, for me (just wish I was better at it 😆) and you just demonstrated it perfectly with this low price lens, thanks Rob
This just proves that you don’t need a high end lens to make great, creative photo’s. Really love what you did with that quirky little lens, Rob.
Rob: Great video !!! I've learned so much from your MFT videos as I own an EM10 MarkII and a EM1 MarkII. Generally, your videos feature Olympus products. However, I noticed in this video that you are using a Fuji camera and I am assuming its a APS-C format. How do you like it compared to your Olympus cameras ?
Hey ROB {missing the Sunday Morns with the TREKSTER} ……………bought into the NIKON system now Z 50 and went old school D7000 with a 18-105 kit lens …the D7000 I traded off some of my vast Film stuff that honestly was collect dust …I really feel lucky to still have my XT3 and Xt2 Fuji with the gambit of lenses for most of my Regular Photography Work but Planning on going Z8 in a year or so and moving away from Fuji …..this pancake lens looks so cool I might do it for the Z50 ….on the Z50 the tracking and color science is just unbelievable even at 20mp the low light is so impressive with this latest FIRMAWARE Updates ……. REALLY MISS the Sunday Live talk but I understand you probably have other priorities ….even myself I find I am very picky about when I do Social media ADMINing on my Facebook groups ……I have shed my duties on a few Groups already…..Life is funny …my focus is more on project based shooting and not so much a concern about posting to the masses …… I do hope your are well Sir …please have a great Day and loving your instagram shots so awesome……BE WELL regards, Darko G
You have a great eye Rob and I’m impressed by the results you achieved the lens.
I bought the MFT version last week and so far I agree with all. your assessments. I'd emphasize the tendency to flare, even on innocent-appearing scenes that would not faze other lenses, which contributes to the lack of contrast. And I do wish, even though it is a body-cap lens, that it had a lens cap. There aren't even filter threads to which I could attach one. I also found that with the E-M1-Mk2 the punch-in manual-focusing aid gives better results faster than focus peaking.
Rob Trek! Good review. Ive been debating picking this up for my EM5 mark ii for quick portable times out.
