FAQs

What is the equivalent focal length on a full-frame camera?

On a full-frame camera, the 25mm focal length on a Micro Four Thirds sensor provides a field of view equivalent to a 50mm lens.

Is this lens suitable for astrophotography?

Yes, the f/1.2 aperture makes it highly capable for astrophotography, allowing you to capture the night sky with good detail in low light conditions.

How does the bokeh from this lens compare to others?

The f/1.2 aperture and the optical design are specifically engineered to produce smooth, circular, and pleasing bokeh, often considered superior for subject isolation.

Can I use this lens with non-Olympus Micro Four Thirds cameras?

Yes, as long as the camera is part of the Micro Four Thirds system standard (e.g., Panasonic Lumix G series), the lens should be compatible.

What is the minimum focusing distance?

The closest focusing distance for this lens is 0.3 meters (approximately 1 foot).

Does the lens have image stabilization?

This lens does not have built-in image stabilization. However, it is compatible with the in-body image stabilization systems found in many compatible Micro Four Thirds cameras.

What is the benefit of the Z Coating Nano?

The Z Coating Nano is designed to significantly reduce ghosting and flaring, which can occur when shooting into bright light sources, resulting in sharper and clearer images.

Troubleshooting

Autofocus is slow or inaccurate.

Ensure the camera body firmware is up to date. Clean the lens and camera contacts. Try switching between AF modes (e.g., Single AF, Continuous AF) or manual focus.

Image appears soft or blurry.

Confirm the lens is securely attached to the camera. Check that the correct aperture is set and that the focus point is on the intended subject. Ensure image stabilization is appropriately set on the camera.

Lens exhibits flare or ghosting.

Use the lens hood to block stray light. Ensure the Z Coating Nano on the lens elements is clean. Try adjusting your shooting angle relative to the light source.

Lens will not mount to the camera.

Check for any debris or damage on the lens mount or camera mount. Ensure you are using a compatible camera body.

  • Fast and quiet autofocus system.
  • Excellent low-light performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This lens is designed for Olympus and other Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Simply align the lens mounting index with the corresponding index on your camera body and twist the lens clockwise until it clicks into place.

Compatibility:

  • Camera Mount: Micro Four Thirds (MFT)
  • Compatible Brands: Primarily Olympus and Panasonic Lumix G series cameras.
  • Filter Size: Requires 62mm filters.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Lens Elements: Use a soft, lint-free lens cloth or a lens brush to remove dust. For smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning fluid to the cloth (never directly to the lens) and wipe gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.
  • Body Cleaning: Wipe the lens body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
  • Storage: Store the lens in a protective case or camera bag when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity.
  • Weather Sealing: While weather-sealed, it is not completely waterproof. Avoid prolonged immersion in water. If exposed to saltwater, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
  • Removing Dust: Use a blower bulb to remove loose dust particles before wiping the lens.
