i am using this lens for about 5 months and personally my fav lens. very fun to use and using fish-eye in m43 really makes the day.
in max aperture, you still can get sharp images.
manual focus has no disadvantege in this focal length also.
very fun to use.
i greatly recommend this lens.
affordable price is another benefit also

Fantastic little lens: no vignetting, C/A, or corner softness that I can see--superb performer for a fisheye. Very sharp. Good feel to the aperture and focus rings, and overall solid build quality. Not that much bigger than the Panasonic 20/1.7.
This is a diagonal fisheye (i.e., covers the frame from corner to corner).
For my fellow pano shooters: this lens has 130-degree coverage across the long edge of the frame. You can cover 360x180 sphere with four tilted shots rotated at 90 degrees and a zenith or nadir, but are probably better off doing the six around and zenith + nadir for added coverage. The mapping is the typical equisolid, not the more exotic stereographic of the SLR Samyang 8mm lens. Certainly rivals or even surpasses my Sigma 8mm f/3.5 circular fisheye on my Canons for pano work.
