By default it’ll shut off the OIS and use the IBIS (and I’d suggest leaving it that way…with most lenses, the Oly’s excellent IBIS is superior to the OIS on almost all Panasonic lenses. Panasonic have incorporated 18 elements in 13 groups, including two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and one UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) lens element. The Panasonic 35-100mm lens is equipped with a mental mount and has a stylish metal finish on the exterior to not only give it a high-quality feel but to ensure performance stays consistently perfect.

even though it costs more and does not have quite the reach, but I didn’t know how the Olympus body would handle that OIS. The lens provides excellent results for chromatic aberration: in-camera correction has taken away any color shifts, turning any aberration into slight reduction in sharpness. As such, the lens works extremely well on any of the Micro 4/3 bodies, and seems geared towards the smaller cameras such as the Panasonic GM1 and GM5 or the Olympus E-PL7. It's very light at 360 grams, despite its high-quality construction which gives it a premium look and feel.The optical layout is decently complex: 12 elements in 9 groups, including 1 aspherical and 2 ED elements, and the lens uses seven curved diaphragm blades to make up the aperture. For instance, in the fraction 35/100, we could say that the value is 35 portions, out of a possible 100 portions to make up the whole.

Those looking for a compact telephoto lens, should certainly add this lens to their list of considerations. The 25mm with a +3 or +4 dioptre close up filter makes a good addition in a travel set for getting good autofocus close ups…. For the ''VFA'' target (the viewfinder accuracy target from Imaging Resource), we also provide sample crops from the center and upper-left corner of each shot, so you can quickly get a sense of relative sharpness, without having to download and inspect the full-res images.

Allows high-speed shutter release, and provides beautiful defocus effect in portrait or close-up shots. As a parent, you hope your child is extremely successful and likely become the next Gates, Zuckerberg, or Meg Whitman. In fact, all three lenses together weigh less than 400g and would cover an incredible range from ultra-wide angle to medium telephoto.

Chromatic aberration is the lens' inability to focus on the sensor or film all colours of visible light at the same point.The 45-150 is faster aperture at all but the widest point, and has just a bit more contrast as well as being longer – a 300mm equivalent. Apochromatic lenses have special lens elements (aspheric, extra-low dispersion etc) to minimize the problem, hence they usually cost more. ASPH lens is predominantly made of metal parts, including the barrel and the mount, which makes this the best constructed Panasonic lens to date. This past fall, Panasonic made several announcements in advance of Photokina, but one that flew under the radar a bit was the addition of a very compact 35-100mm f/4-5.

MPB will also keep you informed about the status of your gear at every step of the way and the whole process is carbon neutral. Claim your creative freedom and capture the perfect shot no matter what environment you’re working in. we see the image of that lens de-centering on the left-hand side of the frame; stopping down to ƒ/8 removes this corner softness entirely.Panasonic has wisely provided a less expensive option that will match extremely well with the Panasonic 12-32mm ƒ/3. The IQ is really good – just don’t try to zoom with video as the zoom is not reallly smooth (get the “power zoom” lens for that). Quality mid range telephoto zoom lens designed for digital cameras with the Micro Four Thirds System lens mount, such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80, GX8 and GH5 models. With an optical design of 18 elements in 13 groups (1 UED lens, 2 ED lenses), the Panasonic LEICA 35-100mm f2.
