The field of view of MFT prime lenses
Dec 9, 2011

Recently I've read and even participated to different threads dealing with the choice of primes' focal length. There are often hesitations between the 12mm and the 14mm, or between the 20m and the 25mm.

Since I've bought many primes this summer (the result of an unexpected but welcome tax return), I thought that it may be worth to explore their respective field of view more in depth. I shot different sets because it wasn't easy to frame something that was suited for long focals, as well as for short focals : when the subject was good for tele lenses, the short focals encompassed a large and uninteresting chunk of the window sill. But when the frame was large enough for the short focals, there was nothing particularly interesting to see for long focals. So the result is a compromise.

Below you'll find the pictures summarizing the results. The individual pictures taken by each lenses will be found in a second mail :
