56mm f/1.4 Micro Four Thirds Weather Sealed

Why we recommend this

Its f/1.4 aperture and 56mm focal length (85mm equivalent) deliver sharp subject isolation and low-light performance, while the 277g body is the smallest in its class. The stepping motor autofocus provides silent, smooth operation ideal for video, complemented by dust- and splash-proof sealing. Best for portrait and wedding photographers on Sony APS-C cameras needing a lightweight, weather-resistant prime with excellent bokeh.
