The used Handevision IBELUX 40mm f/0.85 for Micro 4/3 is a short telephoto, ultra-fast aperture prime lens for Micro 4/3 cameras and camcorders. Key features include:
Normal-Range Prime. The Handevision IBELUX 40mm f/0.85 provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 80mm when used on Micro 4/3 image sensors, making it a perfect choice for portraiture.
Ultra-Fast Aperture. The fast f/0.85 maximum aperture means you can shoot in extremely low light. It also gives you an ultra-thin depth of field to create subject-background separation.
Advanced Optics. The eight-group/ten-element optical design includes a concave front element that helps to minimize chromatic aberrations while ensuring sharpness. It has a ten-blade circular diaphragm that produces pleasing out-of-focus highlights.
Fully Manual Lens. Both aperture and focus are fully manual, with the focusing ring providing a 250° focus throw for minute adjustments. Since this is a fully manual lens, it provides no electronic communication with the camera. You must make all aperture and focus adjustments on the lens itself. The aperture you select won’t be displayed on the camera, and it won’t show up in the EXIF data.
High-Quality Build. The all-metal lens barrel gives the lens a very solid feel. It also boasts a built-in, retractable lens hood.
