Featuring compliance with the Four Thirds System standard, these dedicated lenses maximize the potential of the high-performance image sensors used in digital SLRs.<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\">The newly developed ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm f2.8 is a thin, lightweight single-focus standard pancake-type lens with a focal distance equivalent to 50 mm on a 35 mm camera lens. It offers both excellent portability thanks to the compact and lightweight advantages of the Four Thirds System and very sharp, clear imaging performance.<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\">The lens has an overall length of 23.5 mm. When combined with the already released E-410 or the upcoming E-420 digital SLR camera, the total length including the camera body and lens is only 76.5 mm. The result is an easy-to-store, easy-to-carry camera system with go-anywhere portability. And when the lens with E-420 is used, &#8220;AF Live View&#8221; function, which makes Live View shooting easier and more convenient than ever, is available.<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\">With a focal distance equivalent to 50 mm on a 35 mm film camera lens, this standard pancake-type lens provides an image angle very close to that of the naked eye. The result is a near-natural visual field that makes this an ideal standard lens for daily use, whether for simple snapshots or for more sophisticated portrait and landscape shooting.<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>Feature Details<\/b><\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<ol>\n<li><b>Thin, lightweight pancake-type lens with an overall length of 23.5 mm and weight of 95 grams<\/b><br \/>\nMastery of the latest optical design technology has resulted in a thin, lightweight pancake-type lens with an overall length of only 23.5 millimetres and weight of 95 grams. When this lens is mounted on the currently available E-410 or the just announced E-420 digital SLR camera, the total length of the camera body and lens is still only 76.5 mm. The result is a camera system that is easy to store and easy to carry, offering go-anywhere portability. With its compact, lightweight design, this highly portable lens is ideal for daily use, perfect for a wide range of photographic opportunities from snapshots to portrait and landscape shooting.<\/li>\n<li><b>Digital-dedicated, high-image-quality design<\/b><br \/>\nThe focal distance is equivalent to 50 mm on a 35 mm camera lens. Double-sided aspherical lens components are employed to reduce the lens length and provide optimal aberration correction, achieving a sharp, clear image just like a single-focus lens. A specially formulated lens coating optimized for shooting against light minimizes ghosts and flares. With a high open aperture f-value of 2.8 and a circular aperture diaphragm, this lens lets you create beautiful soft-focus images and take advantage of natural defocusing effects.<\/li>\n<li><b>Excellent close-up shooting capability<\/b><br \/>\nClose-up shooting is possible at a minimum distance of 13 centimeters from the front of the lens. The possibility of positive challenge to the shooting subject will expand the field of photography.<\/li>\n<li><b>Screw-on aluminium lens cap, and lens hood (optional)<\/b><br \/>\nThe lens cap is made of aluminium and screws onto the lens. This ensures a sleek, streamlined exterior appearance.<br \/>\nMade of sleek, polished aluminium, the optional LH-43 Lens Hood allows you to attach the LC-34 Lens Hood Cap (included in the Lens Hood) or a 34-mm-diameter commercially available filter without spoiling the camera&#8217;s slim, stylish appearance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>Pricing<\/b><br \/>\nZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm f2.8: 47,500 yen(49,875 yen incl. tax), available Mid-April, 2008<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\"><b>Optional<\/b><br \/>\nScrew-on aluminium lens hood LH-43 4,500: yen(4,725 yen incl. tax), availabel Mid-April, 2008<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-1588\" id=\"frontimage\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/2313463016_8f76d78710_o.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" name=\"frontimage\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-1598\" id=\"frontimage2\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/2312652445_e54699b2e4_o.jpg?resize=500%2C374\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" name=\"frontimage\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together with Olympus E-420 World Smallest and Lightest DSLR, Olympus announced the ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm f2.8 thin, lightweight single-focus standard pancake-type lens fully compliant with the Four Thirds System standard for digital SLR cameras and scheduled for release in the middle of April, 2008. &nbsp; ED 25mm f2.8 Zuiko Digital Lens Main Features Thin, lightweight [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2156,19,33],"tags":[1154,1155],"class_list":["post-1599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-four-third-34","category-olympus","category-wide-angle-lens-type","tag-25mm","tag-pancake"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1599"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22267,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1599\/revisions\/22267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
