If you want to be able to change lens (most important item in photography) with portability, this is it. With the latest cameras, it will also continue to do so in remarkably low light without hunting back and forth for focus position.

Just like f/number iso cannot be compared across different sensor sizes because it's a per unit area quantity and has nothing to do with the signal of the image. I have no idea why I would want to lose control over the aperture or shutter speed, both are important to the image. Trying to think back at this, it's easy I think to grip it too hard, so like a stuck filter if we deform the ring it won't turn. There’s a fair chunk of glass on the front and inside are 8 elements in 7 groups, including 2 aspherical elements and 1 UHR (ultra high refractive) element. You may notice ghosting when shooting directly into the sun, usually manifesting as a multiple-color haze or purple blobs.To avoid space limitations with the layout of our review pages, indexes to the test shots launch in separate windows. Andy has been Amateur Photographer's Technical Editor since 2014, responsible for reviewing everything from cameras and lenses to accessories and software. Collectively, the arrangements of these lens elements ensure image sharpness and clarity is consistent. It worked better with the E-M1, but still seems to need a firmware–the GX8 probably needs an update also.

The problem is that all older reviews don't use numerical values and therefore it's impossible to compare one to the other. The easiest way for new users of this lens is to just use “ P” or “ A” mode on your Panasonic Camera.

I have been exclusively using manual mode around a month since I became an enthusiast photographer, four years ago. The MFT lens market is competitive and if you want a standard lens, obviously this is one to consider but there are many more, both autofocus and manual focus models. Add the M43 adapter to the cost and the Panasonic looks to be the bargain of 2019 if its shallow depth of field and out of focus bokeh you are looking for ! APS-C and full frame with similar aperture means even better low light performance and bokeh than with MFT.

The 50mm is known as the “Nifty 50” because of how versatile these are for photographers and video use. If you have bad copy you need to document it and possibly "prove" that that the lens had a problem from the start. is an epic lens and going through my catalogue of images it was notable that a great deal of my most loved images were from that lens. Together with the 25mm focal distance, which is nearly the same viewing angle and sense of perspective as the human eye, this lens is ideal for both portraits and scenery with a clear subject and outstanding colour rendering.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Comprising eight elements in seven groups, the Panasonic 25mm has a more complex optical construction than most lenses with a similar angle of view. is plenty fast to focus on a Lumix body; and shooting in AF-S tends to lead to faster AF acquisition than using AF-C.
