But this chunky yet competent backpack doesn't have a killer feature or look that makes it stand out from some pretty tough competition.

And although the measured vignetting seems to favor the Olympus models in the table (above), the Panasonic isn’t that far behind the Olympus 17mm f1. Anyone interested in this lens, as an alternative to the similar Olympus for aerial shooting with drones, where one of the first and most important specifications, necessarily is the weight? Thanks for letting me know - if you have time you can try to use aperture mode and shoot the same object with 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.

Aspherical lenses help to prevent both spherical and distortion aberration so images remain sharp and clear when dealing with bright light sources. aperture encourages handheld shooting without a flash in dimly-lit environments and allows the true atmosphere of a scene to be captured in crisp, clear detail. Somehow i did not find reason to use it because the images from the 12-40mm are clearly sharper and usually more pleasing.

The manual focus action is a focus-by-wire affair and responsive enough; the ring itself turns with no hard stop at either end of the focus range.This lens can be used for video and photography and will appeal to shooters wanting to keep the weight down and the quality high. This means a 25mm focal length lens in MFT gives the equivalent view of a 50mm standard lens in the 35mm format.

However, for further subjects, the lens would often miss focus, always to the front, causing some shots near infinity to appear soft, even when stopped down. Autofocus is, in the grand scheme of things, very accurate, regardless of whereabouts in the frame the focus area is positioned. If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget.Any idea of how I can best figure out if the lens actually has a problem (warranty) or if it just is not better by design. We'll look at it from handling, image quality and focusing on it's own as well as how I feel about it versus the stellar Olympus 25mm f/1.

can focus pretty close, and quickly enough to catch this hovering bee – I’ve never caught the wings vibrating like that before.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max stretches into new telephoto territory with its tetraprism design and 5x (120mm equivalent) reach.
