Olympus Zuiko 261059 25mm
Its 0.9-inch thick pancake design and 95g weight make it an ultra-portable prime, delivering a standard 50mm equivalent field of view on Four Thirds DSLRs. The f/2.8 aperture provides consistent exposure and a discreet profile that pairs seamlessly with compact bodies like the Olympus E-420. This lens is best for street and portrait photographers who prioritize a minimal, lightweight kit over extreme low-light capability.
