Fujifilm 8-16/2.8
#23
Quote:It is totally ok for you to appreciate that Olympus lens, I just found it strange to bring it up in a thread about a wider, "fast" UWA. The 16-35mm only came up because someone thought they had confused its size with that of the "fast" and also wider Sony FE 12-24mm f4.

 

I know that such a slow lens does not exist anywhere else, but I am unsure what the beauty of that quite extreme small maximum aperture is. 

Whether something like it does not exist anywhere else?

The Canon EF-M 11-22mm f4-5.6 IS STM is pretty close in size (just 4.5 mm wider and 8.5mm longer) and focal range:

 

Olympus ED 8-16mm f4-5.6 is a 18-36mm FF equivalent

Canon EF-M 11-22mm f4-5.6 is a 17.6-35.2mm FF equivalent

 

It is a tad faster too: Olympus f8-11 FF equivalent and the Canon f6.4-9 FF equivalent.

 

The Canon has IS vs the IBIS of Olympus.

It seems a lens like that pretty much does exist somewhere else?
 

I agree, the EF-M 11-22 while not as small, is somewhat close.

The Canon M system could be actually interesting if it was a real system. At the moment however, the system is extremely poor in terms of lens selection. A shame. Hopefully Canon will think of filling up the huge gap in the lens line-up.
