Exceptional clarity and linearity I posted a photo above you can look at to see the objective glass element on this lens - it has some severe curvature to obtain the near 90 degreee field of view without distortion. I also plan to mount it in my linearity tester when finished using it for a customer and will post a photo of its overall resolution.
This lens would be IDEAL for a realator who takes "curb apeal" shots of homes, and interior shots where it is difficult to see floor to ceiling and wall to wall. At 11 M...

Olympus best mid level lens for 4/3 system This lens is simply a must have for landscape work. Optically it is better than the 14-54 and 50-200 that completes olympus mid-end pro glass. Focus is silent and fast. Only wish it could be wider as the 2x crop factor makes it a 22-44mm in 35mm terms, 90 degree FOV. For architecture I would recommend the 7-14mm, but at $700 it is still a best buy.

A Must have Let me start by saying that I am not a pro, I just jumped into the DSLR world about 4 months ago. That being said, this lens is a must for your collection. The lens is pricey at about $700 but it is in Olympus's mid level range ( Quality wise). The pictures from this lens are out of this world, great color and detail. Even the limited distortion you might get at its widest settings can be used as creative or just cropped out. I have taken dozens of pictures with it already at all of its range wi...

Superb wide-angle lens I bought an Olympus 11-22mm lens from Cameta Camera earlier this spring and found I use it much more frequently than my 14-54mm. The 11-22mm is essentially a near-super wide to normal lens that is both sharp across the image (sharper than the 14-54mm) and displays very very little distortion across its entire zoom range. An added plus--an exposure set at one zoom setting is good for any other, so you can lock an exposure and just focus between zoom settings. Auto focus is very fast. Images s...

Great lens but not universally useful First off the 14mm-54 and 50mm to 200mm are must haves. This lens at 11mm to 22mm is just a little wider on on the wide end than a 14mm. So what does 11mm get you that 14mm won't? For me, when I am in a room and I want to get ambiance of the entire room, those few extra mm are great. When I am out doors and I want to get an entire building rather than just the first few floors it is very useful.
This lens spends about 10% of the time on my camera. When I know I am going to need it i...

Best wide angle lens that I have used.... As a former SLR user for the past thirty years, I recently decided to step up to the plate for a digital SLR.
Having owned a Nikon F2as, Olympus OM1 and a Minolta, I decided to purchase the 10 megapixal Olympus E-510. Knowing that the lenses are the key to photography, I purchsaed the body only without the kit lenses.
I purchased the Olympus 11-22 f2.8, along with the Sigma 1.4 for a "standard" lens.
The Olympus lens has proven exceptional. The 11 - 22 p...

Olympus f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Lens set works great. The f2.8-3.5 Zuiko Lens set: 11-22mm, 14-54mm, and the 50-200mm takes really good quality pictures. I cant wait until the new E510 is released in June with 10 mega pixels and the active LCD screen.
My friend has the Cannon 30D which, cost twice as much as my Olympus E500, but with my lense, I can take a picture with exceptionally good quality. Anyway, the 11-22mm lens works great.
I returned the first 11-22mm lens because it would not focus. Well, the company should k...

Fantastic Lens I have had this lens a short time now, and the weather has not permitted much in the way of outdoor use. The shots that I have been able to take, including some indoor available light and flash, have been superb. Extremely sharp optics with excellent FOV. This lens will probably stay on my L1 body for all-around use.

Perfect for Portraits, Panoramas, 3D and Infrared At 22mm/f11 this lens is perfect for the kind of portraits, where you need high depth of field, e.g. on the front cover of my Suntan Book (see link below), the family members are lined up behind each other. For panoramas the low distortion and large depth of field make panoramas possible, where closeup and far-away elements are combined. Adding a infrared filter delivers snow white greenery. Using camera shift or 2 cameras and 2 of these lenses, 3D is crispy clear. Especially for 3D, closeup and...
