Anyone here getting this lens?
I want a kickback from any bets you collect on. The only thing I'm sure of is I'm gonna check it out one way or another. Probably buy it from Amazon or B&H and figure out whether it fits or not. I'm a wide angle junkie so it would be foolishness not to give it a shot. But I'm not at all sure whether it'll be for me or not. 28 seems to be my sweet spot. I like 24 well enough in m43 but m43 isn't as wide as APS. I also like ultra wide, stuff in the 14-18 range, but for a whole lot less of my shooting. I'm just far from sure whether I'll find a place for a 21mm as a regular part of my arsenal. I may absolutely love it. I may find it to be stuck in no-man's land between every-day wide and ultra wide. How it works with the OVF will be part of my calculation. The only experience I've had with this focal length was a 21mm adapter for the GRD3. I hated it but I don't have any idea if I hated the focal length - I just hated what that relatively massive lens did to everything I loved about the handling and feel of the GRD3. I think I had it about two days before I returned it - I never gave the focal length a chance. So I will try this lens but I honestly don't have an idea if it'll be a keeper or not.I won't get it....I don't do wide often enough to justify it. I'd bet money that Ray is getting it unless he loves Oly 12mm enough.
Well.....I was going to pass on it. Was.... I have a feeler out to a person who has bought some of my Nikon gear to see if they are interested in my24-70 F2.8. If I can sell that I'm going to buy it.
If you get it you'll likely have to get a few more dogs to fill that frame.

Don't do that too me. I just found out last night about an almost 2 year old Great Pyrennees named Rory who needs a home. A friend sent me her picture. She is so cute (and big). I have a Honda Fit so I'm not sure how that would work out since the other dogs already have all the seating taken. Trust me, if I wasn't still trying to figure that part out I would have been making arrangements to drive to Dallas to get her.....
I need an intervention or a bigger car.
Nope. No camera to put it on!

Well, so here's the problem. I dare any reasonable person to resist a Pyrenees called Rory. And she will most definitely require the 14. Take some nice shots of Dallas while you are there.
