Unbranded Chinese M4/3 25mm MF F2.8 lens

[chorleyjeff]

Since my pancake 14-42 lens died I need another small lens as a walk round combo with my Oly EPL6.

looking on EBay I came across a new lens as in the heading. Has anyone any experience of this or similar unbranded M4/3 lenses please and if so what are your comments. I like the idea of a simple lens with little to go wrong.

Cheers

They could be ok....but, read the listing very carefully....many are fully manual, having no auto focus....I have a couple...they work well.....the other solution is to see if Youtube has a video or two featuring them.

Which is why I referred to  a simple lens with little to go wrong.

I had not thought of the fantastic resource that is You Tube. I shall check.

There  seems to be a Youtube  video on just about everything you could think of .. It has now  become one of the first places I look  when i want to know how to do something !

But not necessarily  sensible content.

Have just watched a test between an M4/3 Oly EM1 and Canon 5D mk4 which concluded it was not possible to differentiate one metre long prints of the same subject  taken by those cameras. Can that really be true ?
