Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 20mm f/1.4 PRO 20mm
Its f/1.4 aperture and advanced optics with aspherical and ED elements deliver strong low-light performance and feathered bokeh in a weather-sealed, pocket-sized body. The 40mm equivalent focal length provides a natural perspective that excels for portraiture, where it scored 73.1/100, while the compact build defies its professional-grade optics. This lens is best for portrait and street photographers who need a fast, durable prime that won't weigh down their Micro Four Thirds kit.
