Description — SLR Magic 8mm f/4
The SLR Magic 8mm f/4 Ultra Wide-Angle Lens is a manual-focus prime built for the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless system. With a fixed focal length of 8mm and a maximum aperture of f/4, it delivers a wide field of view in a remarkably compact package. Tipping the scales at just 110 grams, this lens is engineered for portability — making it a natural fit for drone payloads, handheld gimbals, or any shooter who values a minimal kit.
The 52mm filter thread provides compatibility with a broad range of photographic filters, adding versatility for outdoor and aerial use. There is no autofocus and no image stabilization onboard, so this lens rewards photographers who are confident with manual control and either shoot in stable conditions or pair the lens with a camera body that offers in-body stabilization. The Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens format ensures a proper native fit for compatible mirrorless bodies, with no adapter required.
