This lens is sharp with good color. Works well with my xe3. I bought it as a place holder until I could afford a better lens but I see no reason to replace it.

I'm sure this is fine for most M43 cameras but using one on a EZCAM E1 was problematic.� Not having a EVF or optical viewfinder on that camera made it difficult to find focus. The Lens was� hard to dial in just right.� Hope to try it on my Lumix cameras soon.

not bad for the price

i cannot complain for the price the focus ring is a bit stiff at both ends of the range but it is clear and good enough for quick shots out of my pockets

Very clean and clear imaging

Excellent optics for the price. I am happy to pay a few dollars more for the super low dispersion element to be found somewhere in the optical design of this lens compared to visually identical lenses from Meike. Clickless aperture ring is not my favorite, and this one is quite smooth but not held tightly, so I have to keep an eye on it while shooting to be sure it remains where I want it to be. Also, the focus ring has a little rough spot on it somewhere, but that's all ok because the optics are great.

Bonne conception

question

Is this an opteka clone of the Fuji 27mm 2.8 except manual and declicked for video? Or is it a new design by opteka?
Asked by: James
It is not a clone of the Fuji as it is a different focal length, but it is very similar and it is fully manual with a de-clicked aperture.
