Prime 30mm portrait-length lens provides a 60mm equivalent focal length with Micro Four Thirds cameras. Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture is ideal for working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers greater control over the focusing position. Macro design provides a life-size 1:1 magnification ratio and a minimum focusing distance of 10.5cm for working with close-up subjects. One aspherical element helps to reduce chromatic aberrations for greater clarity and colour accuracy. Multi-layer coating controls lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and neutral colours.

Stepping AF motor and internal focus design provide smooth and quiet focusing performance and functions at a 240 fps signal transfer rate for fast, responsive use. MEGA O.I.S. minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper hand-held shooting. Rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces a smooth out-of-focus quality when working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.
