The Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.8 is a great lens, and one of my personal favourites for portraits. As well as being compact and lightweight, meaning you can easily put it in your camera bag or pocket when out and about, and is one of my favourite lenses for great portrait photos. If you’re in the US, then unfortunately this offer isn’t available.
Another lens on offer is the Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm F1.8 prime lens, which is now just £199, down from £349, saving you 43% off the RRP! This lens is equivalent to 50mm, and is a classic focal length, often referred to as a “nifty fifty“.
