1. Fixed focus lenses for Micro Four Thirds

With the addition of mirrorless cameras, full-size cameras are becoming more popular these days, but Micro Four Thirds cameras are very popular due to their light weight, compactness, portability, and high image quality. In the interchangeable lens digital camera market in Japan in 2020, Micro Four Thirds achieved the No. 1 share of the number of units by lens mount as in 2019 . This time, let's take a look at a unique single focus lens that expands the range of shooting from among the lenses dedicated to Micro Four Thirds systems.

What is Microphosers in the first place?

The size of the image sensor

There are three sizes of image sensors that can be said to be the heart of digital cameras: "full size", "APS-C", and "Micro Four Thirds". The size of the sensor is about 36.0 mm x 24.0 mm for the full size, about 23.6 mm x 15.8 mm for the APS-, and about 17.3 mm x 13.0 mm for the Micro Four Thirds. Micro Four Thirds is a sensor size that complies with the "Micro Four Thirds Standard" jointly announced by Olympus and Panasonic in 2008. It is also called 4/3 type because the aspect ratio is slightly different from the full size. Compared to the full size, the Micro Four Thirds sensor size is about half the length of the side and about 1/4 the area. The full size is used for SLR cameras such as Canon's "EOS 5D series" and Panasonic "LUMIX S series", and Micro Four Thirds is used for Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras.

Full size VS Micro Four Thirds

Considering only the sensor size, you should choose a full-size camera! However, it is necessary to consider that the size of the camera changes depending on the sensor size. A full-frame SLR camera tends to be large and heavy due to the large image sensor. As a result, the lens becomes larger and heavier, so the total weight may be about 2 kg. On the other hand, the Micro Four Thirds system is small and lightweight, both the main body and the lens, so the hurdles to carry around are much lower. Check more on https://www.dzoptics.com/en/

Choose the features you need

Full-size machines are advantageous in terms of image quality and sensitivity, but we must also consider that they are generally expensive and that the data size increases due to the high image quality. As the data size increases, the number of shots that can be taken is limited, and high specifications are required for the personal computer used for image editing. In that respect, the Micro Four Thirds system, which is compact and lightweight, easy to use, and does not have a huge data size, is attractive. It should be one of your favorite cars that you can easily take with you not only for shooting in your daily life, but also for a little outing or traveling.
