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.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA 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.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
