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.
