Best for
This lens is aimed at photographers who want flattering portraits and subject isolation without carrying a large, heavy telephoto. On Micro Four Thirds bodies the 2x crop factor turns its 45mm focal length into a 90mm equivalent field of view - a classic portrait length - while the fast f/1.8 aperture delivers shallow depth of field and smooth background blur. It works on all Micro Four Thirds cameras from both Olympus/OM System and Panasonic.
Frequently asked questions
What focal length does the 45mm f/1.8 give in 35mm terms?
Because Micro Four Thirds has a 2x crop factor, the 45mm lens gives an equivalent field of view of about 90mm - a classic short-telephoto portrait length.
What size filters does it take?
It uses 37mm screw-in filters.
How close can it focus?
The closest focusing distance is 0.5m, giving a maximum magnification of 0.11x (0.22x in 35mm-equivalent terms).
Will it fit Panasonic cameras?
Yes. It uses the Micro Four Thirds mount, so it works on all Micro Four Thirds bodies from both Olympus/OM System and Panasonic.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
