Best for
A reference-class MFT prime - fast f/1.2 at 34mm-equivalent gives exceptional subject-background separation on MFT (arguably equivalent to ~f/2.4 in full-frame depth-of-field terms). Weather sealing, metal build, and optical performance well above the 17mm f/1.8. For professional-grade MFT work or photographers who specifically want that fastest MFT rendering.
Frequently asked questions
Is this lens weather-resistant?
Yes - PRO-series sealing, rated for -10°C operation.
How does MFT f/1.2 compare to full-frame f/1.2?
In depth-of-field terms, MFT f/1.2 gives roughly the equivalent subject-background separation of full-frame f/2.4 (2x crop factor). The exposure is the same (f/1.2 is f/1.2), but the visual 'blur' effect at a given composition is shallower on full-frame.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.
