Today I am sharing my long term review of my favorite Micro Four Thirds wide angle lens, the Panasonic Leica 8-18mm f2.8-4. I bought this lens 1 year ago and has been using this lens extensively during my recent trip to New Zealand for landscape photography, environmental portrait, and for travel photography. This lens was quite fantastic, and in this video I shared what I think are the strengths and weaknesses of this lens, also some other lens that you should also consider if you are looking for an ultra wide angle lens for your Micro Four Thirds system.
