What is the olympus m zuiko 7 14mm f 2 8 pro good for?

The Olympus M.Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO is a Micro Four Thirds zoom, and it's a wide one. On that format it frames like a 14-28mm on full frame, so it's for landscapes, architecture, interiors and anything where you want to fit a lot in. The f/2.8 is handy for shooting in dim spaces, and on Micro Four Thirds it gives about the depth of field of f/5.6, so you get plenty of the scene in focus. It isn't stabilised, so the lens itself won't help steady a shot, and I'd keep it away from portraits, where very wide lenses close up exaggerate whatever is nearest the camera. For that, look at the Portraits guide instead.

It fits a long list of Micro Four Thirds bodies, from the OM System OM-1 to the OM System OM-5 Mark II. For the reasoning behind the crop and depth-of-field numbers, the Focal length converter is worth a look.
