Product Information

It doesn't cost you anything extra when you use these links, but it does support the site, helping keep ePHOTOzine free to use, thank you. The 25mm focal length is equivalent to a 50mm lens on a 35mm format camera and offers the expected 47 degree angle of view.

on several Micro Four Thirds bodies, including the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 and Olympus OM-D E-M5 II. My copy suffered from severe focus shifting, meaning the sharpness actually decreased when stopping down from F1. The latter produces extraordinarily sharp images to contrast with the blurred background and had a longer FL to compensate for the slower speed when used to blur backgrounds.With smaller sensor formats such as Micro Four Thirds, you simply shoot at larger apertures than with full-frame or APS-C cameras. We're as guilty as anyone of getting excited about shiny new gear and features, but let's not lose sight of the gear we already have by our side. As far as same amount of light, the sensor sensitivity does not change the amount of light it's getting.

It achieves an attractive and smooth out-of-focus effect when working with shallow depth of field due to the rounded seven-blade diaphragm. One reason it was popular then was that all cameras came standard with a 50mm because it could be made fast and cheap and therefore mass produced. We took to the streets for some portraits and shot a few macro photos for this first installment in our sample gallery.I tested indoors with Olympus stabilizer on, different shutter speed (1/20 to 1/640), different ISO. Still, at 100%, you can certainly spot some purple and green fringing in the out-of-focus regions on the left side of this image, in the vines and stems.
