Value for money

With this lens retailing for around £170, this lens represents an inexpensive way to pick up a high quality prime lens for your Micro Four Thirds, or Sony NEX system camera.

There is currently no direct equivalent available for either Micro Four Thirds, or Sony NEX cameras. The closest equivalent for the NEX system is Sony's 50mm f/1.8 OSS lens, which is slightly less telephoto and more bulky, but sports a faster f/1.8 maximum aperture and costs around £195.

Olympus offer a 60mm f/2.8 macro lens for Micro Four Thirds, which costs around £370, with this lens offering life size reproduction at its closest focus.
