Product Information

lens makes it possible to give your photos a beautiful depth of field effect for more impressive, creative shots. Then, if you decide to sell, MPB will pick up your kit with a free insured DPD collection and you’ll get paid cash into your account within days. This means straight lines will look, well, straight (see the images above the flowers for an example).

The latter produces extraordinarily sharp images to contrast with the blurred background and had a longer FL to compensate for the slower speed when used to blur backgrounds. would be a very limiting lens without a zoom range but I find this to be a more creative lens than your standard 12-60 kit lens. My copy suffered from severe focus shifting, meaning the sharpness actually decreased when stopping down from F1. It's however very cheap (at least at that time), small and it even came with a free lens hood unlike other Olympus lenses before it. I am by no means a professional photographer but I liked the results I got with this lens and my Panasonic G85.How about giving it a break for a change, and hitting shutter speed with your reductive equivalence hammer instead? The 50mm is known as the “Nifty 50” because of how versatile these are for photographers and video use. This is unlikely to be noticed in general photography and is hardly evident at all in branches against bright sky. Late in the fall, Panasonic released what was a bit of a surprise to many: a slower 50mm equivalent lens in the 25mm f/1.

Because Micro Four Thirds cameras normally focus with the aperture set wide open, this can result in the edge being taken off the sharpness when you’re shooting at f/2.The only external control is the broad ribbed focus ring that moves fairly smoothly and has a decent resistance but lacks the heavy feel of true damping. This means a 25mm focal length lens in MFT gives the equivalent view of a 50mm standard lens in the 35mm format. The lens handles well on any camera body due to the lightweight nature of the lens and the relatively slim profile.

Now don’t get me wrong I’m a huge fan of the 12 to 60mm and I have used it for hundreds of online videos as well as paid work. It’s designed to be stepless and, like the focus motor, silent in operation, making the lens suitable for video use.Panasonic takes pride in the smoothness/polishing of its aspherical surfaces/molds, and it shows here. If it weren’t for the Panasonic’s astigmatism, sharpness in the outer field would be greatly improved. In terms of video autofocus, this is what the easiest letters to get to work with Panasonic GH5 or G85. The Panasonic has lower distortion, of course, but that’s expected, and all three suffer from high levels of chromatic aberration.
