This means a 25mm focal length lens in MFT gives the equivalent view of a 50mm standard lens in the 35mm format. The FF photo will look darker at default settings, but when you lift it two stops in post it will be identical to the m43 photo, including noise levels and DOF.

aperture encourages handheld shooting without a flash in dimly-lit environments and allows the true atmosphere of a scene to be captured in crisp, clear detail. Severe chromatic aberration gives a noticeable fringing or a halo effect around sharp edges within the picture. Since the introduction of digital cameras and the various formats of the sensors that are used, it occurs to me that there are some peculiar reasonings when one talks about "depth of field" , "crop sensors" and apertures.For this type of lens, I'd love to see the reviewer put this on a tripod and take a waist-up self portrait (during covid-19 or in the absence of a model) to see subject separation at people distances. This is a very good level of performance overall, and images should be bright, sharp and attractive throughout the range. And while we've not yet fully tested the Leica's performance, its stepping autofocus motor likely won't be quite as swift as the extremely fast linear motor of the Olympus lens.

Its light weight is substantially due to plastic barrel construction, but thankfully the mount is metal, which rightly or wrongly always inspires more confidence than plastic versions. The extra-low dispersion element reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations for a high degree of clarity.Interesting that on forums like this, we have a tendency to argue on the details and ignore the message. The performance is for a prime lens also very ordinary, beaten by even zoom lenses like the popular 12-35mm and the 12-40mm.

I wouldn't want to speak for Robin here, but the Laowa, Meike, SLR Magic, and also Samyang lenses are all manual focus lenses, whereas the unusual thing about the Yongnuo that he reviews here is that it supports autofocus. does improve center sharpness ever so slightly, but it's honestly difficult to notice the difference even when you're looking for it.In terms of its focal range, the nearest alternatives are either Panasonic's Leica-branded 8-18mm F2. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 / GX80 manages to take most of what we like about the GX8 and pack it into a smaller, lighter body.
