Getting very twitchy for a micro 4/3 wide angle. options seem to be Panasonic zoom,
Olympus 9-18 zoom or Kowa fixed focal length. Saw and used Kowa pre production lens
at a Photo show in March. Very impressed with the lack of distortion and general
image quality...less so with the very high price (estimated to be about £700.00
+ or $1000 +. Since then silence from Kowa and they do not now seem to have a UK
distributor. The results from the Olympus lens seem good but variable aperture and
reviews say prone to flare.
Any suggestions, viewpoints, carefully considered.
Several of use, at least that Moose fellow, Mike L. and Frank have weighed in in favor of the Oly 9-18 in the last few
days. The Panny is nicely wider, but huge and heavy.
The 9-18 is an excellent lens.
