No lens hood

Small and light. Good image quality.

Olympus 25mm f2.8 Standard Pancake Lens

 

Its tiny size makes my equally tiny camera (E620) virtually pocket size, while its big brother can do the "heavy" stuff. My Olympus family is now, hopefully, complete.

Can't think of any offhand

Very easy to use whether in manual or auto.

Not the sharpest of pictures but still very good

Olympus 25mm f2.8 Standard Pancake Lens

 

Compact size and light - makes the most of the Olympus 620 light body weight. Good aperture for a reasonably priced lens and didn't we all just used to manage with a fixed focal length most of the time, anyway? Very handy lens.

A clip on lens cap rather than the screw on would be easier to use but that's a quibble. I read a review fo this product which said the zoom was dificult to operate. Don't be misled. The zoom is impossible to operate - there isn't one!

Very compact , fine image quality which will make my E620 a very good travelling companion.

The lens cover is very arkward to screw in

Olympus 25mm f2.8 Standard Pancake Lens

 

Beautiful, compact and bright lens. It gives a nice "boukeh" - it blurs backgrounds nicely, although not as nicely as a f 1.4 or f.1.8 lens. Wonderful to photograph under low light conditions.

Nothing bad to report.

Olympus 25mm f2.8 Standard Pancake Lens

 

Ease of attachment, lightness of weight, 'brightness' of image, wide field of view. I can now carry my SLR Olympus E420 around in my pocket, with this lens on. Waited a long time to get this lens, well worth the wait!

Being a 'Prime' lens, it take a bit of getting used too.

Olympus 25mm f2.8 Standard Pancake Lens

 

Unlike current zoom lenses this provides a "back to basics" and having a larger aperture. I shall use this lens regularly for "snap shot" purposes when tripods and time are against selective planning of a shot. Another advantage is that it is so small...

The lens being a metal mount is stiffer than those with plastic mounts. However this will mean a longer reliable life use

A good general purpose lens for use when you don't wish to carry bulky equipment with you.

Fiddly screw-in lens cap.
