What Buyers Say
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

- 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
