Our take on the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm f/1.8 Lens

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 is a compact, light Micro Four Thirds prime that gives a 90mm full-frame equivalent field of view, a classic focal length for portraits. It is known for sharp results wide open, smooth background blur and a fast, quiet focusing motor. At $249.99 at eBay as of November 6, 2026, it sits near the top of its recent range; four stores list it new, so compare before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 good for portraits?
Yes. On Micro Four Thirds it behaves like a 90mm lens on full frame, a classic portrait length, and f/1.8 gives soft background blur.
Does it fit Panasonic cameras?
Yes. It uses the Micro Four Thirds mount, so it works on Panasonic and Olympus/Panasonic-derived bodies, with autofocus and aperture control.
Is it stabilized?
No. The lens has no optical stabilization, so you rely on in-body stabilization or faster shutter speeds.
What is in the box?
The lens comes with front and rear caps and a lens hood is not included; check the listing for any extras.
Is $249.99 a good price?
That is near the top of its recent range as of November 6, 2026. It is a fair price for a new copy, but compare the four stores before buying.
Should I get this or the 25mm f/1.8?
The 45mm is tighter and better for head-and-shoulders portraits; the 25mm is a more general walk-around lens. Many owners keep both.
Where is the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm f/1.8 Lens cheapest?
At eBay, for $249.99, 34% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 805 ratings.
