Panasonic going to launch new f/1.2 prime lenses? Here are the patents…

Share

Sigma just patented two new Micro Four Thirds lenses: 14mm f/1.2 and 35mm f/1.2. Now you will wonder…what has this to do with Panasonic? Because Sigma is known to sell those lens designs to Panasonic. The Leica 12mm f/1.4 for example is designed by Sigma (article here).

That’s why there is a high chance the 14mm and 35mm f/1.2 prime lenses will be released by Panasonic (maybe using Leica brand).

Codek:Some Videos of the Vivitar 28mm f/2.8 on my GH3. I was showing how, in almost any situation, the lens loses contrast (at least wide open at f/2.8). Also, beware of chromatic aberration wide open!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sXvxn6GAkE

Depth of field and crop factor misconceptions (FF and MFT equivalence)

Share

“Biscuits Alive” posted that video where he explains in detail how the FF and MFT equivalence works. He writes:

There is still a lot of incorrect information out there about –
-Depth of field
-Crop sensor vs full frame cameras
-Speedboosters
-Light refraction

And it seems many people who profess to know all about their camera gear, don’t actually fully know some of the basics regarding-
-Aperture
-Focal length
-The focus plane
-Crop factor
-The Circle of confusion
-ISO
-Image noise

So I decided to talk about all of the above, and I drew some simple illustrations for you, and also took a few photos to help show what is actually happening to the light as it travels through our cameras lens.
