Product Information

Let's better appreciate what we have, consider what gives us joy, and get out there to take some photos. Also, with better resolution, high ISO performance, as well as amazing PP software nowadays, we can't assume that Mr Bresson wouldn't choose a 35mm f/1. A 35mm equivalent of 75mm or longer would be more suitable for head and shoulders and closer shots of people. would be but I'm selling it) for landscapes and stuff where sharpness matters more, but the rendering of the PL25 is still nicer in some ways and I've actually enjoyed using it for environmental portraits a lot. But if asked what is the best lens bargain to be had this is always the first lens that comes to mind.

This means straight lines will look, well, straight (see the images above the flowers for an example). Depth of field: Lenses have a specific depth of field, depending on the aperture; that a law of physics. The PL25 gets beat by a *very* small margin when stopped down, and by a larger margin when wide open when compared to slower lenses (and no, the wide open Voigtlanders f0.It's well-built, compact, and fast/quiet to focus, making it a good choice for stills and video shooters alike. I'm just trying to understand where this lens sits according to the other 25mm lenses in the system based on your testing. It's a lens that goes everywhere and doesn't guilt-trip you if you don't happen to actually use it on that outing. Chromatic aberration is the lens' inability to focus on the sensor or film all colours of visible light at the same point. Offering a 50mm equivalent focal length with a perspective that is close to that of the human eye, you can capture intense artistic shots.

Thanks for letting me know - if you have time you can try to use aperture mode and shoot the same object with f/1.But the image quality is really very good indeed, the AF is fast, and this lens is so small and light you’ll hardly notice you’re carrying it. e. that APS-C is NOT a crop from full frame, and the lenses used are specified for the specific format. Round the back of the lens is a proper metal lens mount, and there’s a big focus ring with a light but very smooth movement. Together with the 50mm focal distance (35mm camera equivalent) which is almost the same viewing angle and sense of perspective of human eyes, this lens is ideal for a portraits or scenery as they see.

After all, they say you become a better photographer, faster, 'zooming' with your feet rather than zooming with your lens. The FF photo will look darker at default settings, but when you lift it two stops in post it will be identical to the m43 photo, including noise levels and DOF.

The Panasonic/Leica 25mm disappointed a bit: it was good but I had expected it to be THE best of the bunch and it’s not.

And I was not the only one experiencing this, there is at least one YouTube video explaining the issue.CA is well under control, being virtually eliminated in the centre and only slightly drifting at the widest apertures at the edges.
