Olympus Zuiko 12 MM M. MSC f/2.0 ED lens, ideal width


Olympus Zuiko - Fixed lens, fixed lens length berfocal better than a zoom lens because it has a simpler optical structure. This lens promises high image sharpness. Therefore, the fixed lens has always been a photographer's dream. Only, this lens is less flexible because you are required to carry multiple lenses at once every time you do the shooting. So far, one of the constraints of micro four-third system adopted by Olympus to seize the market is the existence of multiple factor 2x on the camera. Olympus option to use a micro sensor is smaller than APS-C sensor and 35 mm (full frame) makes every lens mounted on the camera focal lengthnya must be multiplied by 2x.

In other words, a lens with focal length 14 mm when mounted on the body of the E-P3 will be equivalent to a 28 mm lens on full frame DSLR body. Obviously, this is a constraint means that when we want to use a wide angle lens. In fact, this type of lens is one of the most often we use. The presence of M. lens Zuiko 12 mm f/2.0 ED MSC is a breakthrough that very genius of Olympus to resolve the issue. The position of this lens can take turns with the super wide angle zoom lens M. Zuiko 9-18 mm f/4.0-5.6 ED who had appeared first. Berfocal single length lens is packaged in a metal body made of a sturdy and solid with a slim dimensions. Harmonious with the body E-P3 are also small.

Besides offering a very wide angle shots for micro four-third cameras, this lens also has a high speed. Suitable for shooting landscapes and low light situations. However, the potential offered by leading this lens lies in the use of ED glass and MSCnya technology. As the lens has a fixed length berfocal optic simpler, making use of ED glass lens technology is capable of producing high quality images. Evident when used in the field, the resulting image has a fairly low chromatic aberration. When done testing on the sharpness, the results are very satisfactory. At f/2.0, the sharpness in the center of the frame image is fairly high with a slight decrease in sharpness at the edges. At f/2.2 to f/3.5 slightly decreased image.
