PRO II Lens allows to instantly switch to manual focus with the Manual Focus Clutch mechanism and use the L-Fn (lens function) button to control the lens with a single finger. Olympus has scaled their lenses very nicely with their m4/3 bodies, and that’s one of the things that makes m4/3 use so comfortable. Excerpts and links may be used, provided that full and clear credit is given to Heather Broster/Mathieu Gasquet and Mirrorless Comparison with appropriate and specific direction to the original content. We found that the amount of chromatic aberration varied a bit depending on the focal length, although it's generally very well-controlled. Other highlights include a manual focus clutch mechanism, and a customisable L-Fn button that can be used to temporarily suspend continuous auto focus when something suddenly comes between the lens and your intended subject while recording video with your camera.

PRO, which is well known for its high resolution, and incorporates an optical design with 15 elements in 9 groups (2 ED lenses, 1 Super ED lens, 1 HR lens and 2 aspherical lens).But if you do, you’ll desperately want to supplement it with OM System’s beautiful Pro-level prime lenses. It's also a rugged lens with splash-, dust- and freeze-proof construction, which makes it a great match with the equally-rugged E-M1. First, this is about the best m4/3 lens I've tested to date in its center performance, and pretty much across the board in both focal length and aperture.

When using Olympus cameras, users can set the camera to "S-AF+MF," and after half-pressing the shutter and achieving AF, you can turn the focus ring and make manual focus adjustments. The lens construction integrates one aspherical ED (extra-low dispersion) element, two aspherical elements, one DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) element, two extra-low dispersion elements, one HD element, and two HR (high-refractive index) elements into its design to minimize aberrations, distortion, and color fringing throughout the zoom range while also contributing to overall image sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy. It also securely locks onto the front flanges and two push-button locks must be pressed to remove the lens hood -- a nice touch! It is so convenient to be able to carry a small body, and a couple of small lenses when you compare this to other, more traditional formats.in my kit (plus a pile of old manual film lenses I adapt but these are more specific use case and not in regular use), and honestly don’t see it changing anytime soon. But that’s not even the real reason why this lens is great…it’s because it allows you to get very close, even if you are at 80mm, so close-ups of the face are possible.

Part of that is that fact that they sit close together, part that they’re exactly the same diameter, and part because the material used is a little slick, which masks the change in texture. The following example demonstrates how close you can get to your subject, in this case a Compact Flash memory card. is the first lens in Olympus's 'PRO' lens line for Micro Four Thirds, and designed to match the top-end OM-D E-M1.

You can program it to toggle adjustments such as white balance or RAW, but it can also be set as an AF-stop button. Pro II shares the same pull-back mechanism for autofocus and manual focus switching as many other lenses.

In the case of that body the highest results, reached by the best fixed focus lenses, amount to about 80 lpmm.At the end, traditionally, we present crops taken from photos of our testing chart, saved as JPEG files along with RAW files, used for the analysis above.
