Portrait-length prime is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 100mm equivalent focal length.
Featuring an apochromatic designation, this lens uses a trio of extra-low dispersion elements to effectively eliminate chromatic aberrations and color fringing for greater clarity and accurate rendering.
Greater-than-life-size 2:1 maximum magnification pairs with a 5.3" minimum focusing distance, and 2.2" minimum working distance, to suit working with close-up subjects.
Manual focus design, along with focus distance and depth of field scales, aids in precise focusing control.
A seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
Integrated CPU permits camera-based aperture control and also transfers Exif data from the lens to the camera.
