Re: Oly MFT lens for shallow DOF

You should get the Olympus 45/1.8, not because you will always use it at f/1.8, but because you get the option to use it at f/1.8 and you will sometimes want to use it at f/1.8.

Here's a picture of my daughter taken with a legacy 50/1.4 wide open on a .71 reducer, i.e. effectively a ~35/1.0. Her eyes are in focus and not much else.
