The real world approach, is what makes the most sense in the field, not charts and myopic specs, and it’s a refreshing, practical angle. 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). Severe chromatic aberration gives a noticeable fringing or a halo effect around sharp edges within the picture.

aperture, letting you capture portraits and close-ups with stunning background blur (bokeh) - even as the sun starts to go down. Both lenses are very sharp over the fisrt 3/4of their zoom range – but fade in the final 1/4 of the telephoto end (by a little bit of resolution and a more obvious step of contrast). If you like, though, the setting is “Lens IS Priority,” and it’s the second to last item in the Gears->C menu.Needless to say – don’t loose the lens hoods; they are made to fit each zoom with a bayonet attachement and make a big difference to contrast. ASPH lens is predominantly made of metal parts, including the barrel and the mount, which makes this the best constructed Panasonic lens to date.

A petal shaped hood is supplied, which does an excellent job of shielding the lens from extraneous light that may cause issues with flare. lens produces excellent results for distortion, with images that show no barrel or pincushion distortion at any focal length. isn't a ''constant'' lens, in that as you increase the focal length, the maximum aperture size decreases, though the minimum remains the same.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. I used to own a 45-175mm lens but it hardly got any use and it was rather large (compared to my other lenses) so i sold it.

Even so, clarity is still very good towards the edges, although sharpness is outstanding in the centre of the frame at this focal length.I want to film spectacles with a telephoto (to follow actors in close up), so I would need some lenses like the 14-140 or the 35-100 f2. The fraction shows how many portions of the number there are, in relation to how many would make up the whole. CameraWorld is acting as a credit broker offering finance products from Omni Capital Retail Finance Limited. Zooming to 50mm results in increased sharpness in the centre of the frame, but at the expense of slightly reduced performance towards the edges of the frame.

The Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR delivers a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view and stands out due to its small size and weather-resistant build. Thanks to high shutter speeds you can capture the action of fast-moving subjects perfectly, whether that be sports or wildlife. To set your child on the right path, there are many skills and traits that you can start building and nurturing now.I’ve bought the 35-100 to take along when the big kit stays behind but not get caught out without a longer option. The zoom ring is smooth to turn, taking only two fingers to rotate, and offers only around 45 degrees of turning action to run through the available range of focal lengths. Nothing is perfect and I noticed that this lens suffers from shutter vibrations when used on a Panasonic GX7 and mostly from 70-100mm. The operation ensures aperture changes are smooth when recording so there are no unnecessary jumps in exposure and silent operation for optimum audio quality. You can get cheap new versions from dealers that split up kit packs that sell a body with 2 zooms as 3 items – so this can undercut the cost of the 45-150 a lot.
