the 45mm doesn't provide shallow enough DoF... [image + shooting notes]

I think comparison to other systems is implied in my post. Then again, keeping fingers crossed this doesn't turn into another 'equivalence' battle.

For what I do, f/1.8 on 45mm m4/3 is plenty shallow. Even f/4.0 provides more than enough subject isolation many times.
