OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED V335050BW000 20mm

78 out of 100 medium confidence 14 reviews

The OM System 20mm f/1.4 Pro lens is praised for its compact size, weather sealing, and fast f/1.4 aperture, making it a versatile walk-around lens for Micro Four Thirds users. However, some reviewers note purple fringing when shooting wide open into the sun and a lack of a manual focus clutch, which is a minor drawback for some. Overall, it delivers sharp images with good build quality, though a few expected even sharper performance at f/1.4.

Pros
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Excellent weather sealing
  • Fast f/1.4 aperture for low light
  • Sharp image quality
  • Fast and accurate autofocus
Cons
  • Purple fringing wide open against sun
  • No manual focus clutch
  • Sharpness at f/1.4 not bitingly sharp
  • Chromatic aberration issues noted
