OM System M.Zuiko 20mm f/1.4 Pro

First post-Olympus camera product from OM System

The manufacturer’s first-ever f/1.4 lens bridges the gap between its ultra-compact line of f/1.8 Premium primes and the ultra-fast line of f/1.2 Pro glass. Considerably smaller and lighter than the 17mm f/1.2 and 25mm f/1.2 Pro lenses, at 64 x 62mm and 247g, the 20mm f/1.4 sits comfortably between the existing 17mm (35mm equivalent) and 25mm (50mm) options in the M.Zuiko lineup. Optical configuration features 11 high-quality elements in 10 groups, including 1 Super ED (extra-low dispersion) lens, three ED lenses, two Super HR (high refractive) lenses and two aspherical lenses. Nine blades will deliver a circular diaphragm, and a closest focusing distance of 0.25m will make it a great all-purpose optic for travel, street photography, landscapes and everyday shooting. www.olympus.co.uk; £649/$799
