Olympus 45mm f1.8 Lens - Black

Fast and silent, with a focal length destined for portraiture

Photographers ranging from the complete beginner to the most serious enthusiast will improve their people photographs greatly with the help of this Olympus 45mm f1.8 lens. The 35mm equivalent focal length of 90mm is flattering for portraiture and will award you a bit of space between you and your model, so they feel free and confident to be themselves while you sit back and snap away. A large f1.8 maximum aperture is great for creating shallow depths of fields, so your subject is the only clear star of the show and the background is just blur. This large aperture also provides the best in handheld performance, so you can take it out and about in the field without the help of a tripod.

This Olympus 45mm f1.8 lens is Movie and Stills compatible, meaning it is fast and quiet so it can easily snap onto your focal point accurately, but it won't draw attention to itself with distracting focus noises during video playback. A sleek and stylish design is both easy on the eye and remarkably lightweight especially when the quality of the optics is considered, so this prime lens is at home in any Olympus OM-D or Pen kit, with their compact, retro-inspired designs.
