I just called. Stock never came in leh

 

[zapp!]

This lens gives the panny 20mm a run for its money and competes in a different focal length. Will definitely be popular.

Now, have completed the prime lens collection for m4/3...time to go shooting!!

Was wondering if 45mm is a bit tight?

I usually love taking pictures of my food on the dining table so not sure do I have to stand up & step back to shoot?

Any kind bros who got the lens can share?

You want one dish or many dishes? Fish head or entire fish?

Like what cannedpineapples said, depends on what you want, if say you just want to show closeup of say... ice cream, then 45mm might do the trick, you want to show your entire buffet, have to stand up, step back and shoot,sometimes place cramp, stand up also no use

Also the closest focusing distance is 0.5m. which means you gotta be half an arms length back to take the food. May be hard to take pictures of your own bowl of noodles without getting up (for example).

Easy, zoom in with your kit lens to the max and see if that focal length suits u.

Why not use ur kit lens to zoom in to 42mm to see?

3mm at telephoto makes not much difference.

Here's a shot of "food" from about 40-50cm away. Lighting not the best..

Thank you so much fellow bros. U guys r helpful. Appreciated.

Usually I like to shoot my own plate of food. For eg. My steak or noodles.

In fact I hv the panny 20mm but upon seeing this lens I'm damn tempted.

Bokeh wise which perform better?
