Micro Four Thirds Lenses

Does just what it advertises: allows a host of intriguing lenses onto my Micro Four-Thirds rig (e.g. Takumars) and mitigates a good chunk of the cropping penalty. So for example, a 50mm full frame lens would now be the equivalent of something like a 70mm and it also gains back some light. Great product!

[1/4"-20 Male] This is a terrific addition to the Micro Four Thirds system -- a fast, tough telephoto zoom with excellent optical performance, fully deserving of the PRO label. The lens is large by Micro Four Thirds standards, but not when compared to lenses covering similar focal ranges on APS-C or 35mm systems, or the Four Thirds ZD 50-200mm lens. Focus performance is very good with my E-M1 in both S-AF and C-AF. This lens also features a manual focus ring which can be engaged at any time, as well as a programmable button on the lens body that can be used to stop C-AF or switch focus modes. The rendering of out-of-focus areas and highlights is very good, but the lens is sensitive to flare. Luckily the clever hood means that you won't be tempted to leave the hood behind. There is some mild vignetting when wide open, but Olympus cameras can compensate for this using the Shading Compensation setting. The lens does appear to be somewhat power-hungry, no doubt due to the use of dual focus motors. I have been getting about 400 images from a single battery before the battery indicator starts flashing, which is maybe 20% less than I get with other Micro Four Thirds lenses like the 12-40mm or 75mm. The use of a power battery holder / grip is highly recommended to eliminate power concerns and make lens handling more pleasant.

[0.375 lb] Fits my lenses perfectly an provides a very efficient way to switch lenses on the fly even as it protects them. I have two--one for Micro Four Thirds and another for Nikon.

[49 mm (Front)] Bought this lens on a whim. Although it's a Micro Four Thirds lens, it covers APS-C size sensors like the Z Cam E2-S6 with a Micro Four Thirds Mount. Crazy to think that this tiny lens can do it. At $73, it's an absolute steal. The build quality is full metal and although it's semi soft wide open at F/1.4, it looks very cinematic on a modern day 4K or 6K sensor like the BMPCC4K or ZCam S2-E6 Super 35 camera.

[0.04 lb] I bought two of these lens caps about five years ago, when I first started shooting with Micro Four Thirds gear. They are so much better than my other lens caps, I've just bought four more. The caps are exceptionally light and have a very slim profile. Most importantly, they are very easy to remove and replace without having to fumble around in search of the release toggles.

[Neoprene/Nylon] I purchased this strap to use with my Micro Four-Thirds camera. I like that the size of the strap is in proportion to the size and weight of my camera, unlike the straps made for larger DSLRs. The padded portion of the strap is comfortable on my neck the connector to the camera seems very secure. By adjusting strap to its longest length, I am able to wear it as a sling but this might not work with a taller person.

[3mm] First fish eye for my Micro Four Thirds kit. Fully manual, but no problem. I know how to focus, set f stop. Impressive coverage. Nice Full Cap to protect optics. Beware, front surface bulges out, as expected. Having fun experimenting.

[46 mm (Front)] This lens is what Micro Four-Thirds is all about, very small and light. I was surprised by the image quality. I was worried that this would only be good for drone photographers. But in high resolution mode I can see it clearly out resolves my Olympus 12-40. Also, chromatic aberration seems to be well controlled. There are some caveats that might be deal breakers for some: manual focus, no communication between the lens and camera and lots of vignetting at smaller apertures. I can think of some other small nits. The lens hood is plastic. The aperture have soft clicks in full stop increments only. The numbering is painted on the all metal construction rather than engraved. Why then do I give it five stars? Because it does what is supposed to do very well. If your use case is still photography, you want a versatile fixed focal length lens, want to travel light, and don't require autofocus then this lens is an absolute bargain.
