AND for APS cameras. Now that I don't have any APS ILC bodies anymore, a prime lens I'd LOVE to use with one. AAARG! That's OK - the difference between 7 on m43 and 10 on APS is pretty negligible.

I'm waiting for a test: I currently use the 9-18 zoom, but might swap it for this, and gain a stop. I had too many problems with flare on the 7-14 I tried.

Interesting suggestion on DPR: use the Nikon version with a Metabones SpeedBooster: gives us a 7mm f2 lens ...

It's pretty huge though, almost 600g. I wouldn't really want to use that with a small mirrorless camera.

It is designed to fit APS-C DSLRs primarily, hence the size.
