It wasn’t just…

Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f/2
If you have not read my reviews before, please note that I take a real-world approach to my reviews, after using the equipment and seeing how they fare in the real world. There are lots of review sites that give empirical numbers and such, but you will not find any of those here. The Olympus…
