When a lens is so cheap that you're going to buy it again, even though you already own one, you know it's a great deal!
That's the case with the Olympus 45mm f/1.8, which is just £149 at Jessops right now – that's what I paid for my copy of the lens second-hand, but this is the price brand new!
I use it so much, on enough different bodies, that at this price I'm going to get a spare for my second camera bag.
The Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 (review) was the first lens I bought when I got an Oly mirrorless camera – and to this day it's one of the best portrait lenses you can buy.
In full frame terms it's a 90mm lens, which is a classic focal length for portraiture. That, combined with the fast f/1.8 aperture will enable you to create sumptuous subject separation and beautiful background blur.
And this lens is tiny – I mean, genuinely tiny. Just look at the size of it, compared to a can of soda!
Genuinely small enough to fit in your pocket, pop this on front of your Olympus or OM System camera and you've got a powerful portrait machine that's small enough to take anywhere. And at half price, between the £50 discount and £100 cashback from OM, it's irresistible!
The best Olympus / OM System lenses make up a huge percentage of the best Micro Four Thirds lenses.
