• 12mm wide angle
• f/1.6 max aperture (best performance is at f/4)
• ~2% distortion (optical distortion correction for natural perspective when taking photos of people)
• 0.15m minimum focus distance
• 12 step-less aperture blades for always round aperture opening like a cinema lens for better compatibility with GH2 and AF-100
• Depth of field scale included

• Shipping will start around the end of October 2011

SLR Magic is working also on a new 12-36×50 ED sporting scope for Micro Four Thirds. The stand alone SLR Magic 12-36×50 ED spotting scope should be released in October (price $250) and SLR Magic 12-35×50 ED sporting scope for Micro Four Thirds should be released in November (price: $400).
