Olympus 45mm f1.8 - Black | Secondhand

Poise yourself for some fun portrait shooting, with this Olympus 45mm f1.8 lens. The focal length equates to an equivalent of 90mm, which is adequate for framing head and shoulder portraits, either in the studio or on location. This longer focal length is ideal for shooting live models, as it allows some distance between you and them, so they can act freely and at ease. As it is not too long, you won’t spend your entire shoot with your back up against the wall when shooting indoors. With its fast f1.8 maximum aperture, this lens allows for good subject isolation, so those sharp foregrounds and blurry backgrounds are easy to harness.

Thanks to the inclusion of Olympus’ Movie and Stills compatible autofocus, this lens can be mounted to your Micro Four Thirds body for its video and still purposes with plenty of success. This suitability stems from the lens focusing both quickly and quietly. Despite the high-quality optics of the lens, which includes extra-high refractive index elements in the construction, the 90mm f1.8 is lightweight, with a sleek design that is a perfect fit for your Olympus OMD or Pen kit.
