Micro Four Thirds (MFT)

The Micro Four Thirds system (MFT) is a standard created by Olympus and Panasonic, and announced on August 5, 2008, for mirrorless interchangeable lens digital cameras and camcorders design and development.

The shallow but wide MFT lens mount also allows the use of existing lenses including Leica M, Leica R, and Olympus OM system lenses, via Panasonic and Olympus adapters. Aftermarket adapters include Leica Screw Mount, Contax G, Canon, Nikon, and Pentax, among others.

In fact, almost any still camera, movie or video camera interchangeable lens that has a flange focal distance greater than or marginally less than 20 mm can often be used on MFT bodies via an adapter. While these so-called "legacy" lenses can only be used in a manual focus, manual aperture control mode on MFT cameras, hundreds of lenses are available for use, even those that survive for cameras no longer in production.

Micro Four Thirds system cameras adapt with a Carl Zeiss Jena lens

Advantages of Micro Four Thirds over DSLR cameras

• The smaller sensor size gives deeper depth-of-field for the same equivalent field of view and aperture. This can be desirable in some situations, such as landscape and macro shooting.
• The shorter flange focal distance means that most manual lenses can be adapted for use.
• Greatly increased sensor size (5–9 times larger area) gives much better image quality, e.g. low light performance and greater dynamic range, with reduced noise.
• Interchangeable lenses allow more optical choices including niche, legacy, and future lenses.
• Shallower depth of field possible (e.g. for portraits).
• An advantage of wildlife shooters and birders in particular lies with the fact that old 35mm telephoto lenses become extreme telephotos due to the system's 2x crop factor.

The 2.0 crop factor when compared to a 35 mm film camera. This means that the field of view of a MFT lens is the same as a Full Frame lens with twice the focal length.

Practically speaking, this means that a 50 mm lens on a MFT body would have a field of view equivalent to a 100 mm lens on a full frame camera.

Minolta 50mm lens

When investing in a Minolta manual focus system one of the first lenses commonly purchased is a 50mm lens. The reason for this is that it is fast, sharp, and with brilliant contrast prime lens, while at around $60 it is about a quarter of the price you might expect to pay for the faster auto focus lens.

How to choose a good lens

During the seventies and eighties, lenses were commonly tested by photographing test charts on high-resolution black-and-white film and determining the lens' resolving power by counting lines-per-millimeter on the negative. Although it's very hard to compare these test results to the more modern MTF (modulation transfer function) tests.

However, we are now using digital sensor instead of film, theoretically a good photo require good optical elements in your camera lens.

In my opinion , a prime lens is better than zoom lens, glass material is better than plastic , metal case such as brass or aluminium will be better than plastic case for the lens although it is heavy.

If you search on Internet, there are many articles talk about choosing with below criterias:

1. Focal Length
2. F-Stops (Aperture and depth of field)
3. Zooms
4. Prime Lenses
5. Wide-Angle and Telephoto
6. Macro

They will never teach you to understand why a 50mm lens with F1.2 is more expensive than F1.7, why? can the manufacturer simply make a bigger aperture?

NO. That's because it involves the "Lens structure" with the lens design.

LENS ELEMENTS & IMAGE QUALITY

All but the simplest cameras contain lenses which are actually comprised of several "lens elements." Each of these elements directs the path of light rays to recreate the image as accurately as possible on the digital sensor. The goal is to minimize aberrations, while still utilizing the fewest and least expensive elements.

Have you ever ask why Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F1.4 ZF.2 lens can cost USD$750, a standard 50mm lens only.

The Zeiss Planar is a photographic lens designed by Paul Rudolph at Carl Zeiss in 1896. Rudolph's original was a six-element symmetrical design.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeiss_Planar

Therefore, if you try to understand what's lens structure you want to buy for example to choose a 50mm F1.2 / F1.4 / F1.7 lens. The manual focus lens will last you for a life time, but not the camera.

On the other hand, I had experience to choose a Russian lens to do my advertising photography jobs, it turn out perfect. Although people said a lot of Russian lens are copy of Carl Zeiss, but actually there were many skilled lens makers being trained to make the lens for Carl Zeiss.
