In the pass I use WA a lot for party events now it is mainly for street
snap and family shots in tight spaces like restaurant. I like large
aperture to separate the object and background. Even with the small 4/3
sensor, F2.8 will do much better than F4 or 5.6.
I'm just not willing to carry the size and weight of a lens like the Oly
7-14/2.8. It would just be an expensive paperweight. So the f4 of the tiny,
light 9-18 just has to do for me.
Me neither, I don't need the extra wide angle and 28mm is too "wide" at the
long end for me. I'm not a superwide guy, 21-24 will do very well for me.
Their 12-40 actually can cover a wider view so Olympus should change their
software. Besides narrower AOV, their resize/sharpen algorithm also affects
the pixel level quality.
BTW, Olympus 9-18 is F5.6 at the "long" end, I don't like slow lenses but
the light weight is very attractive though.
