Hopefully as micro 4/3 gains popularity and sells more and more units over the coming years, lens manufacturers will start to make more oddball, specialty, and niche lenses for the M4/3 mount.EE35 Film Camera App is a classic film camera simulation application. A true 1:1 achieved natively is infinitely more useful, but thus far there are not many such true macro lenses being made for micro 4/3 in wide angle or zoom configurations. So it is most accurate to compare actual magnification ratio and not factor in what size we are expanding the images to when we view them on a screen or print them.įor my purposes, the 0.41 ratio that the 12-100mm and 40-150mm lenses have is marginally useful, and would enable me to take many of the close-up images that I want to take of small critters. But there really is no cheating the system - magnification ratio is magnification ratio, regardless of what size sensor the image is being recorded on.

I do realize that images taken at MFD with these lenses will "look like" images taken at double these ratios with a full frame camera. I clicked the link on each of these lenses and looked in the "SPECS" section to see what the ratio was for each lens: The thing that is most important to me in any lens is the maximum magnification ratio.

Like all the OM System lenses, they are splash- and freeze-proof, in most cases to IP53 standard, which matches the OM-1 and OM-5 cameras.

I use the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4 PRO Lens on one camera when shooting weddings and events because it is fast enough to use indoors in low light and small enough to be discrete.

It’s hard to fault this series of lenses. What I Like and What Can Be Improved About the Lenses One can expect similar promotions in other parts of the world too. In the UK, there is currently a £175 cashback deal on the lenses.

OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4 PRO Lens: $699.99 Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 PRO Lens: $899.99 Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens: $699.99 Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO Lens: $1199 It's a Good Time to Buy OM System f/4 PRO lensesī&H currently has a sale on these f/4 lenses, saving around $200 per lens. The M.Zuiko 40-150 F4 PRO, my go to lens, is weather sealed to the IP53 standard. Those aberrations, as well as other optical issues, are most prevalent at wide apertures. Spherical aberration is caused by light rays entering the lens that don’t converge at the same point, so incoming light at the edges of the lens hit the sensor at the wrong angle. It’s caused by the lens's inability to converge the different wavelengths onto a single point, so the white light is split as it would be through a prism. Without going into too much technical detail, the most common and widely known of these is chromatic aberration, the green or purple fringing you can see along high-contrast edges. These are the flaws that are seen in the final image. At very wide apertures, all lenses exhibit aberrations to a greater or lesser extent. So, why are the OM System f/4 PRO range of lenses so appealing? You Can't Ignore the Laws of Physics, But You Can Use Them to Your Advantageįirstly, there are the laws of physics and the design of every lens. I recently wrote about why so many photographers are jumping to Micro Four Thirds and, specifically, the OM-System.
