Product description

• Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. Lens Designed for close-up shooting, the Lumix G Macro 30mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. from Panasonic is a 60mm-equivalent prime lens designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless digital cameras. Its macro capabilities enable a minimum focusing distance of 4.1" along with a 1:1 magnification ratio for life-size imaging of nearby subjects. One aspherical element helps to control spherical aberrations and distortions and a multi-layer coating reduces ghosting and lens flare for increased contrast and color fidelity.
  
  In addition to the optical performance, the lens also features a MEGA O.I.S. system, which compensates for the effects of camera shake for sharper hand-held shooting. A stepping AF motor and internal focusing design offer fast, smooth, and near-silent focusing performance and the rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.
  • Prime 30mm portrait-length lens provides a 60mm equivalent focal length with Micro Four Thirds cameras.
  • Macro design provides a life-size 1:1 magnification ratio and a minimum focusing distance of 4.1" for working with close-up subjects.
  • One aspherical element helps to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for greater sharpness and more accurate rendering.
  • Multi-layer coating controls lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and neutral colors.
  • Stepping AF motor and internal focus design provides smooth and quiet focusing performance that is well-suited to both photo and video use.
  • MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake to benefit handheld shooting in difficult lighting conditions.
  • Rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth out-of-focus quality when working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.

• Vu Filters 46mm Sion Slim Circular Polarizer Filter The 46mm Sion Slim Circular Polarizer Filter from Vu Filters helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.
  
  A circular polarizer only differs from a linear polarizer in that it contains a quarter wave plane in addition to the linear polarizing filter. The addition of this quarter wave plane is to circularly polarize the linearly polarized light for the use of auto focus and exposure functions. Due to how the light is broken down and filtered with a linear polarizer, auto focus and exposure accuracy become skewed during use. When the light becomes circularly polarized, it permits the use of these functions.
  
  Sion Slim circular polarizer filters are multi-coated, have approximately a greater than 85% average light transmission, and are constructed from Schott glass with a black rim. Set within aluminum-alloy filter rings that are durable while remaining lightweight, the glass elements provide increased clarity as well as color fidelity, while their black rims further ensure that reflections do not occur along the filter's edge. The Flat Wave Overcoat associated with this Sion Slim circular polarizer filter provides an additional layer over the multi-coatings, resulting in an improved beading effect to repel water for greater cleaning efficiency.
  
  This 46mm Sion Slim Circular Polarizer Filter's ring assembly is 3.4mm thick, to help maximize vignetting prevention. It can be rotated in order to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect, and features side knurling to provide a more textured grip for mounting or removing the filter from a lens.
  • Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.
  • Polarizing filters arrange, and filter, directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light.
  • Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.
  • Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun.
  • Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features.
  • Multi-coated to prevent internal ghosting and reflections as well as to ensure color fidelity.
  • Flat Wave Overcoat repels water with an improved beading effect for more efficient cleaning.
  • Greater than 85% average light transmission.
