Lenses for mFT-cameras...

Wide zooms
There are a couple of really classic zooms in this department: the
old Zuikos 7-14 f4 and 11-22 f2.8-3.5 are praised all over everywhere.
But
the mFT -versions are not bad either, and much smaller. The Olympus 7-14 f2.8
is there, like the PanaLeica 8-18mm f2.8-4...Both tested to have very high IQ.
And the Panasonic 7-14mm f4 or the Olympus m.Zuiko 9-18 are not bad either. Need
faster? How about the Panasonic Leica 10-25 F1.7. Or take a look on the primes…
Ps. There is now even a fisheye zoom here: Meike 6-11mm. And Panasonic 10-25 is very fast, F1.7...
