Olympus 14-35mm f/2 ED SWD

Olympus 14-35mm f/2 ED SWD

VERY IMPORTANT: Due to a variety of problems we have encountered, we do not recommend using Olympus lenses for video use with Panasonic micro 4/3 cameras/camcorders. Rent at your own risk.

A high-performance, professional level wide angle lens, the 14-35mm boasts the widest aperture available in a wide angle zoom at f/2. With Silent Wave (SWD) focusing motor, ED elements and aspheric elements it’s as good as it gets in wide to standard angle photography. It is entirely ‘internally focusing’, making it ideal to use with a circular polarizing filter.

Tim’s Take:
Okay, this is a 28-70mm f2 equivalent on the 4/3 sensors. That alone makes this lens awesome. The AF can be a bit finicky, but thats what you get when you combine a zoom with an f2 lens. Is it sharp wide open? Absolutely! Some cameras can even change the aperture to numbers like f2.8 and f4, but this lens doesn’t usually get to those apertures. In all seriousness, if you’re looking for a normal range zoom, you’re looking for this guy. You get great results at f2, and if you can make yourself stop down just 1 stop, you might just have a new best friend!
