A battle rages in the hybrid camera sector between the Sony NEX Range with their APS-C sensors and the Micro Four-Thirds cameras. With interchangeable lenses for each the quality is not necessarily fixed when you buy your camera, you can upgrade the optics. In this first look at Sony E mount lenses, we are looking at their most recent additions, but we will look at others too, let us know which are most important to you. |

Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality. |

Here are the results for the latest camera in Panasonic’s micro-four-thirds line, the Panasonic Lumix DMC GX1. When equipped with a 14-42mm pancake lens and lateral-lever zoom, this is a very compact camera indeed. |

dont like this lens
This lens is too wide for full body portrait and distortion makes it also not very good for head-shoulder, or full head or even face only portrait photography.

it's not
50 f/1.4 equivalent. it's not. it's probably more like 50 f/2.8 equivalent.
I wish I could use my canon 85/1.2 in a crop body and think of it as a 135/1.2 equivalent. Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Re: it's not
Your comment makes no sense. An f1.4 lens is f1.4 regardless of crop factor, in terms of the brightness. It will have a depth of field like an f2.8 lens on full-frame.
Either way the same rule would apply to your 85mm f1.2. It'd be like a 170mm on micro 4/3, f1.2 brightness and depth of field like an f2.8 Olympus have announced a 75mm f1.8 for m43, coming later in the year. Will be much smaller than the Canon of course. Reply |
