Frequently asked questions

Does this lens have image stabilisation?

No in-lens IS - MFT bodies with IBIS (most Olympus/OM System and Panasonic GX/G bodies) stabilise it via sensor-shift.

What is the Snapshot Focus clutch?

Pull the focus ring back and it reveals a distance scale, engaging manual focus at a preset distance. Useful for street photography where you want a specific focus distance locked in for fast, deliberate shooting.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
