Value for Money

With a price of around £400, this lens represents pretty good value for money, especially as it is capable of delivering decent quality images and sports a very fast maximum aperture.

The closest equivalent for Micro Four thirds cameras is Olympus' 12mm f/2.0, which costs around £550. This lens may have autofocus and automatic aperture control via the camera, but the maximum aperture isn't as fast and it costs quite a bit more.
