Olympus E420 and 25mm f/2.8 Pancake Lens Sample Images
Announced just a few weeks ago - the Olympus E420, the world’s smallest DSLR - is definitely getting a lot of interest. And Olympus have done one better, by also introducing the Zuiko 25mm f/2.8 pancake lens. (It’s called a pancake lens because of it’s small flat profile, like a pancake, or a hockey puck - this particular Olympus one is actually less than an inch thick!) And this is definitely an amazing and very appealing combo for those looking for a lightweight DSLR set-up that won’t break your neck even if you carry it around all day.
With an expected release date of just under 2 months away - this compact body and lens combo is definitely on the list of photographers everywhere. And the awesome folks over at Four-Thirds User have just published a 2 sets of images using the 25mm f/2.8 mounted on an E420.
Click here to view the first set ; and click here to view the second set (taken in slightly better weather.) Full size JPGs are available for personal use, and they have even provided RAW versions of the images.
The Olympus E420 with the 25mm f/2.8 lens is available for pre-order from Amazon for just $699.99.
