Oly 12mm f2 - Not for me

Jun 30, 2011

I've been hoping for a 12mm prime on a m43 mounts, but this lens is not for me for several reasons:

Price - Not gunna drop $800 on this lens.
Size - It's big for its focal length and speed. For me, m43 is more about size.
Flash - it's flashy. Mounted on my GF1, or another m43 body, I suspect a lot of attention to be to be drawn to the rig with such a lens mounted. For me, the m43 system should also be inconspicuous (sp?)

My thoughts.
