The Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO for Micro-Four-Thirds exhibits truly remarkable sharpness wide open at f/2.8 which only improved at f/4 and f/5.6. By that I mean that there was a slight increase in contrast and overall sharpness. Its effective equivalent (35mm) field-of-view is that of a 80-300mm . . .

 

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-32mm ASPH f/3.5-5.6 Mega OIS

 

This tiny Lumix lens is a gem. Collapsed, the lens is under 1 inch in length, and at its 32mm focal length the lens extends to 1.75” in length. It is a super compact wide-angle zoom for the micro-four-thirds format with an equivalent (35mm) field-of-view of a 24-64mm zoom that focuses down to 8 inches. Although it is barely over 2 ounces in weight, don't let its diminutive size fool you. . .

Panasonic LUMIX G Vario 45-150mm f/4.0-5.6 ASPH

 

The Panasonic LUMIX G Vario 45-150mm f/4.0-5.6 ASPH lens is a deceptively small, light weight, and compact lens for the Micro-Four-Thirds format that is smaller in size than a typical full-frame (35mm) 50mm lens. Its effective equivalent field-of-view is that of a 90-300mm. It is sharp at maximum aperture at either the medium . . .
