A relatively recent arrival on the photography market, Panasonic has rather limited experience in the field and does not yet have the same name recognition and reputation as its principal rivals and partners (starting with Olympus). To add some gravitas to its line of high-end lenses, Panasonic had the very good idea to team up with one of the most experienced and reputable lens manufacturers in the field (in terms of image quality), Leica. This arrangement is similar to the one for Sony cameras and their high-end Carl Zeiss-signed lenses. |

DxOMark continues with its series of reviews of micro 4/3 lenses. Following our review of Panasonic’s very good kit lens, we present here the results for a bright wide-angle lens — the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2.0, announced in June 2011 and on the market now for several months. This 12mm wide-angle lens is the equivalent of a 24mm 24x36; its design is upscale, all-metal and with a very pleasant grip. This lens has another nice feature in terms of handling — users can quickly activate the manual control simply by sliding the focus ring toward the camera. |
|
DxOMark continues its study of Nikon’s vintage AF-D Nikkor series, this time focusing on the 35mm f/2. Photographers enjoy shooting with this lens because of its versatility and its very light weight. Mounted on a full-frame camera, this wide-angle’s field of view is the equivalent of a 53mm lens mounted on a Nikon APS-C (such as the D7000). |
