On top of this, a large number of other lenses (even from the analogue film era) can be fitted using an adapter. 5.7 Popularity with adapted/legacy lensesįor comparison of the original Four Thirds with competing DSLR system see Four Thirds system#Advantages, disadvantages and other considerationsĬompared to inexpensive digital compact cameras and many bridge cameras, MFT cameras have better, larger sensors, and interchangeable lenses.5.6 Disadvantages of Micro Four Thirds compared to compact digital cameras.5.5 Advantages of Micro Four Thirds over compact digital cameras.5.4 Disadvantages of Micro Four Thirds compared to DSLRs.5.3 Advantages of the electronic viewfinder.5.2 Advantages of Micro Four Thirds over DSLR cameras.5 Flange focal distance and crop factor.3.1 Viewfinders for a mirrorless camera.Still-camera lenses produced by Canon, Leica, Minolta, Nikon, Pentax and Zeiss have all been successfully adapted for MFT use - as well as lenses produced for cinema, e.g., PL mount or C mount. The short flange distance, when combined with an adapter of proper depth, allows MFT bodies to use almost any lens ever made for a camera with a flange distance larger than 19.25mm. Unlike Four Thirds, the MFT system design specification does not provide space for a mirror box and a pentaprism, which facilitates smaller body and lens designs via the shorter flange focal distance of 19.25mm. MFT shares the original image sensor size and specification with the Four Thirds system, designed for DSLRs. MFT lenses are produced by Cosina Voigtländer, DJI, Kowa, Kodak, Mitakon, Olympus, Panasonic, Samyang, Sharp, Sigma, SLR Magic, Tamron, Tokina, TTArtisan, Veydra, Xiaomi, Laowa, Yongnuo, Zonlai, Lensbaby, Kowa and 7artisans amongst others. Camera bodies are available from Blackmagic, DJI, JVC, Kodak, Olympus, Panasonic, Sharp, and Xiaomi. The Micro Four Thirds system ( MFT or M4/3) ( マイクロフォーサーズシステム, Maikuro Fō Sāzu Shisutemu) is a standard released by Olympus and Panasonic in 2008, for the design and development of mirrorless interchangeable lens digital cameras, camcorders and lenses.
