frame).\u00a0The manufacturer reported that the optical design of the new Yongnuo YN 12-35mm F\/2.8-4 for M4\/3 uses aspherical lenses, elements with low dispersion and high refractive index.\u00a0All of them allow you to control aberrations and obtain a sharp image.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-286984 aligncenter\"

ghosting and glare.\u00a0The lens also has macro capabilities with a minimum focusing distance of 11 cm at wide angle (maximum magnification factor 0.5x).\u00a0This is a fairly unique option for a lens like this.\u00a0To switch to macro mode there is a special button on the lens body.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

internal zoom system.\u00a0That is, it does not change in size regardless of the chosen focal length.\u00a0This will provide additional convenience when working with stabilization systems that require balancing.<\/p>\n<p>The expected flagship of the M4\/3 system is the Panasonic Lumix GH7.\u00a0It was reported that this camera\u00a0will receive\u00a0hybrid autofocus.\u00a0For the first time, Panasonic implemented such technology in a camera with a full-frame sensor \u2013 the Panasonic Lumix S5 II.\u00a0Then similar capabilities appeared in a model with an M4\/3 matrix \u2013 Panasonic Lumix GH9 II.\u00a0The next one, which sounds quite logical, given that the GH series is the flagship in the line with M4\/3 matrices, will be the Panasonic Lumix G7.<\/p>\n<p>This camera will have advanced video capabilities, an improved matrix stabilization system (traditionally one of the most effective on the market), a rotating display, a compact and lightweight body, and now an advanced autofocus system.<\/p>\n<p>Price: $549<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March 2023, the Chinese company Yongnuo released a new ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for M4\/3
