Olympus M.Zuiko 8-25mm F4.0 Pro field review at ePhotozine: “strong contender as a go-to travel companion”

Preorders: Olympus 8-25mm PRO at BHphoto, Adorama, Fotokoch DE, Calumet DE, Park UK, Wex UK.

ePhotozine published the full Olympus M.Zuiko 8-25mm review and concluded:

This is a versatile lens indeed, performing well, nice and compact and at a reasonable price, making it a strong contender as a go-to travel companion. The close focusing is a bonus.

The only limitations are really relating to the small MFT format, which is by its nature diffraction limited. This shows clearly in the results, but as long as the lens is kept to f/8, possibly f/11, or faster than the images are very crisp.

Depth of field is another issue, and the lens will not be for those who seek defocused backgrounds at wide apertures. There is too much DOF in the MFT format for that. Conversely, those who desire as much DOF as possible will be highly satisfied.

Highly Recommended.
