Since launching the Micro Four-Thirds standard in 2008, Olympus and Panasonic have remained the only major manufacturers producing cameras and lenses for the mount. Four years on, Japanese lens manufacturers Kenko Tokina and tamron鏡頭收購tamron and professional video equipment producer Astrodesign have now announced support for the growing standard. Both Tokina and tamron鏡頭收購tamron should be familiar to DSLR owners: they produce low-cost lenses for a range of different camera mounts. Consumer choice seems set to be bolstered in the near future too, with Sigma intending to support the format as the company’s CEO revealed in an interview with Imaging Resourceat CES this year.
Astrodesign has announced the AH-4413, bringing Micro Four-Thirds lenses to the professional video realm. The camera is capable of shooting 4K/60p movies direct to the company’s video processing unit, and is being launched alongside a remote controller that allows access to a wealth of the cameras settings. It’s not the first video camera to use the lenses — Panasonic produces the AG-AF101E — but wider support within the industry could be a huge boost for the format.

鏡頭方面,或許是為了與 Z8 搭配,最熱賣的型號又是由 Nikon 搶下,頂級的變焦鏡頭 Z 24-120mm f/4 獲得第一名。不過從鏡頭銷售排行來看,能發現 Sony 在市場上的領導地位,包含自家推出的原廠鏡頭以及第三方廠商 tamron鏡頭收購tamron 推出的 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD,讓 E 接環鏡頭一口氣佔了五席之多。
此外,消費者更傾向選購功能性多元的變焦鏡頭,只有 Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM、Nikkor Z 26mm f/2.8、Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 G Master 三款定焦鏡頭上榜。唯一入榜的 APS-C 鏡頭則是由 Sigma 替富士 X 接環打造的 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN。
