Micro Four Thirds — flange distance, protocol, and adapter compatibility

Open standard mirrorless mount co-developed by Olympus (now OM System) and Panasonic. 2× crop factor sensor with a 19.25 mm flange is well-suited to legacy-lens adaptation; the small image circle requirement means almost any full-frame lens covers it. Native AF-preserving EF adapter coverage is limited compared to E-mount.

Micro Four Thirds on the flange-distance axis

Micro Four Thirds sits at 19.25 mm — highlighted in orange below. The flange-distance gap between the mirrorless and SLR clusters is the room a mechanical adapter occupies; that gap is why almost every SLR lens adapts onto every mirrorless body, and why the reverse is mechanically impossible.

Flange focal distance scaleHorizontal axis from 0 to 60 millimetres showing the flange focal distance of every mount in the dataset, with Micro Four Thirds (19.25 mm) highlighted. Mirrorless mounts cluster below 20 mm; SLR mounts cluster around 44 to 46 mm. The gap between the two clusters is the room that a mechanical adapter occupies — the physical reason mirrorless bodies can take SLR glass natively.0 mm10 mm20 mm30 mm40 mm50 mm60 mmNikon Z16 mmC-mount17.526 mmFujifilm X17.7 mmCanon EF-M18 mmSony E18 mmMicro Four Thirds19.25 mmCanon RF20 mmL-Mount20 mmCanon RF cine20 mmFujifilm GFX26.7 mmLeica M27.8 mmKonica AR40.5 mmCanon FD42 mmMinolta SR43.5 mmCanon EF44 mmCanon EF-S44 mmCanon EF cine44 mmPraktica B44.4 mmSony A44.5 mmExakta44.7 mmM4245.46 mmPentax K45.46 mmContax45.5 mmOlympus OM46 mmNikon F46.5 mmPL52 mmT-mount55 mm

Speed Booster equivalence calculator

Plug in any Micro Four Thirds lens and pick the focal-reducer family. The calc returns the effective focal length and aperture on a Canon RF (APS-C), plus the full-frame equivalent angle of view after the body's crop stacks on top.

A focal reducer concentrates the lens's image circle, so both focal length and f-number scale by the same ratio (stops gained = −2 · log₂(ratio)).

Adapter SKU teardown

Curated adapter SKUs that involve the Micro Four Thirds mount on either side, with the operational specifics — body-side electronic contact count, firmware-update path, weather sealing, and whether optical glass is in the path.

  • Kipon Baveyes M42-MFT 0.7x

    released 2016

    M42 (Pentax / Praktica screw mount) lens → Micro Four Thirds body

    • no firmware updates
    • not weather sealed
    • optical glass in path (focal reducer)
    • 0.7× focal reducer (Caldwell-licensed optics) for M42 screw-mount lenses onto Micro Four Thirds bodies (OM-1 II / OM-5 / G9 II / GH7 / Pen E-P7). ~1 stop wider effective aperture and reduced 2× crop factor (effective ~1.4×).
    • Purely optical — no electronics, no AF, no firmware. M42 lens aperture handled by the lens's own ring or stop-down lever. Lets vintage M42 wides (Helios 44-2 58 mm f/2, Mir-1 37 mm f/2.8, Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35 mm f/2.4) regain something closer to their original field-of-view on MFT.
  • Viltrox EF-M2 II

    released 2018

    Canon EF lens → Micro Four Thirds body

    • 11 body-side contacts
    • firmware updatable
    • not weather sealed
    • optical glass in path (focal reducer)
    • 0.71× focal-reducer ('speed booster') for Canon EF / EF-S glass on Micro Four Thirds bodies — recovers roughly one stop of light and widens the field of view, pulling the effective crop from the bare 2.0× MFT factor toward ~1.42×.
    • Autofocus supported for EF / EF-S lenses (single-shot AF reliable; continuous AF noticeably slower than native MFT glass). Forwards electronic aperture and EXIF; firmware-updatable via micro-USB.
    • A Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 behaves close to a 71 mm f/1.3-equivalent in full-frame field-of-view + depth-of-field terms on the 2× sensor; an EF 24 mm f/2.8 widens to roughly a 34 mm f/2.0-equivalent.

    Firmware history

    1. v1.00
      • Initial release of the revised 'II' — improved AF firmware and coatings over the original EF-M2
      • 0.71× focal reduction with single-shot AF, electronic aperture, EXIF and in-lens IS pass-through for Canon EF / EF-S glass on Micro Four Thirds bodies, updatable over micro-USB
    2. v2.00
      • AF-tuning refinements and an expanded EF / EF-S + Sigma / Tamron EF lens-compatibility list
      • More reliable single-shot AF on Panasonic GH5 / G9 and Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II bodies

Common questions

What's the crop factor of Micro Four Thirds compared to full-frame?
2× — a 25 mm MFT lens has the same horizontal field-of-view as a 50 mm full-frame lens. The sensor is 17.3 × 13 mm with a 4:3 aspect ratio (hence "Four Thirds"). All focal-length and depth-of-field comparisons against full-frame must factor in this 2× multiplier; an MFT 25 mm f/1.4 gives roughly the same DOF as a full-frame 50 mm f/2.8.
Which bodies use the Micro Four Thirds mount?
All OM System / Olympus bodies (OM-1 Mark II, OM-5, E-M10 Mark IV, Pen E-P7) and all Panasonic Lumix G bodies (G9 II, GH7, GH6, GH5 II, G100D, GX9). Both manufacturers ship native lenses, plus a deep third-party lineup (Sigma, Tamron, Voigtländer, Laowa, Leica via Panasonic licensing). Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and DJI Air drone gimbals also use MFT.
Are there AF-preserving Canon EF-to-MFT adapters?
Limited — the Viltrox EF-M2 II Speed Booster brings EF lenses to MFT with 0.71× focal reduction and AF on a narrow whitelist (mostly Canon-brand and a few Sigma EF primes). Most EF-to-MFT adapters are dumb mechanical rings without AF. The MFT-native fast-prime lineup (Olympus M.Zuiko 25 mm f/1.2 Pro, Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25 mm f/1.4 II) is strong enough that EF adaptation is rarely the path most MFT users take.

Keep exploring
