It’s just a weird FL. Hopefully we’ll see sales on on 12 and 10 soon . . .
For $100 less, I think a lot of people would be okay w/the much smaller Sigma 19mm/2.8 + AF.
A nice focal length, the best thing to serve as a 35mm equivalent prime if you don’t have a 17 or 17.5mm lens. f/2 isn’t enormous, but it’s nice as well. All in all, it would be a nice lens indeed for anyone who can do without AF and electronic aperture – if it wasn’t HUGE! This is a lens designed for APS-C DSLRs and simply converted to MFT-Mount, with dimensions of approx. 3.4 x 4.5″ (86 x 114 mm) and weighing 1.34 lb (610 g)! It comes with a 77mm filter thread!
For comparison: on my OM-D, I’m using a Minolta MC W.Rokkor 24mm f/2.8 that was made for Minolta 35mm SLRs, adapted with the Metabones Speed Booster, resulting in a (real) 17mm f/2.0 lens, which definitely is not perfect, but still quite decent – and lens plus adapter are roughly 60 x 70 mm in size and 420 g in weight…
I sure wish Rokinon/Samyang would design more lenses specifically for m43. Most of their “m43” lenses are FF or APS-C lenses with m43 mounts, and as a result they’re much larger than they need to be. That said, their new 135mm f2 is appealing, as it fills a hole in the m43 lineup.
