Olympus MMF-1 Specification

The Olympus MMF-1 Lens Adapter is a precision-engineered accessory designed to bridge the gap between Four Thirds lenses and Micro Four Thirds camera bodies. Crafted with durability and compatibility in mind, the MMF-1 allows photographers to utilize their existing Four Thirds lenses on the more compact Micro Four Thirds system, expanding versatility without the need to invest in entirely new equipment. Constructed from high-quality metal, the adapter ensures a secure and reliable connection, maintaining the integrity and performance of the attached lens. The MMF-1 supports full autofocus capabilities, enabling seamless integration and operation with Olympus and Panasonic Micro Four Thirds cameras. The adapter's design does not compromise the optical quality, allowing photographers to achieve sharp, high-resolution images with excellent color fidelity. Weighing approximately 83 grams, the MMF-1 maintains a lightweight profile, ensuring that it does not significantly add to the overall weight of the camera setup, thus preserving the portability that Micro Four Thirds systems are known for. The adapter measures 65mm in diameter and 25mm in height, making it a compact solution that complements the streamlined aesthetics of Micro Four Thirds cameras. Its robust build and precise engineering make it an essential tool for photographers looking to maximize their equipment's versatility while maintaining optimal performance and image quality. The Olympus MMF-1 Lens Adapter is ideal for professionals and enthusiasts aiming to leverage their existing lens collections across different camera platforms seamlessly.
