Hence, they are not going to be wide angle lenses on the Four Thirds size sensor.<br /><br />For example, one of the third party wide lenses is the Voigtländer 15mm f/4.5, designed for Leica M cameras. It can be used on Micro Four Thirds cameras with an adapter. But it corresponds to 30mm in filmFredrik Gløcknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523430148487818493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-43380127570474961972012-02-26T20:37:44.281+00:002012-02-26T20:37:44.281+00:00Are there any 3rd party options?

It might be a different projection, but the photos look the same, and even the edge detection shots are very similar.<br /><br />Thanks for the analysis!

It corresponds to 14mm wide angle on traditional film cameras. And it is rectilinear, no fish eye effects. The lens is a bit expensive, though.<br /><br />There are no wider manual focus lenses, except for the Samyang fisheye lens.<br /><br /><a href="http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2011/09/Fredrik Gløcknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523430148487818493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-47872925680673079922012-02-24T07:13:11.200+00:002012-02-24T07:13:11.200+00:00Hello,
