At the 100mm end, the angle of view is 12°, which is the same as that of a 200mm lens on a 35mm full-frame camera. 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. Practice makes perfect so why not check out some of other problems where you can convert a fraction to a percentage? 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. I think that what has always stopped me with the 35-100 vs the 40-150 is that you seem to get a lot more bang-for-the-size with the 40-150.

At the same time, its splash/dust/freezeproof design also makes it durable enough for shooting outdoors, so you can go out in nearly any weather with a splash/dust/freezeproof LUMIX camera and be creative. Seven blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings.

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). For what it's worth here are four shots I took yesterday with the 35-100, default jpg settings straight out of the camera, exported from Lightroom with a bit of compression to help with the sizes. The operation ensures aperture changes are smooth when recording so there are no unnecessary jumps in exposure and silent operation for optimum audio quality. This new lens, which gives the same field of view as the classic 70-200mm telephoto zooms on 35mm cameras, is exceptionally small, making it an ideal choice for inclusion in super-lightweight travel kits. Featuring a linear AF motor that drives a faster, smoother and silent autofocus – delivering a brilliant 4K video performance.

That 3 lens set exemplifies what is great about the M4/3 system – it gives me a 28-200mm range and an ultrasharp fast “standard lens” – together that covers ?I.S (H-ES35100) is a "Leica" designated, high performance lens for the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera systems. HD Digital Frame is a great way to put your portfolio on display and a great way to surface forgotten memories. The AF tracking performance when zooming is also improved thanks to high-speed frame analysis for focus control.

Lumix G X Vario is a compact, Micro Four-Thirds-format telephoto zoom lens that provides an equivalent field of view of 70-200mm (in 35mm film terms).

You don't have to push a button or lever to extend the lens, just turn the focus ring and you're good to go. On older Olympus bodies like the original E-M5 (and likely the original E-M10), you can’t use lens based IS at all…it just uses the IBIS.The only area of concern for the lens when it comes to corner shading is at the 35mm focal length when the lens is used wide open at ƒ/4. the 35-100 is great for travelling light and mixing with lenses that share the 46mm filter thread – so the 25mm and the mark 2 14-42 kit zoom make a good 3 lens set that weighs litttle and fits in a tiny bag. The inner lens barrel, which extends when put into shooting position, and extends further when zooming towards 100mm, is made of plastic.
