Re: Which lightweight 4/3 primes for video for Botanist with hand problem

For instance, how about this combination?

Nikkor 50mm f1.8 AI-S

This is a lovely little 50mm from the eighties. Lightweight (pancake-like), focus is very smooth and short-throw. The aperture is not stepless but that's where this adapter comes in:

Fotodiox Pro Nikon-2-MFT 'Vizelex' adapter with built-in ND filter

The neutral density filter allows you to shoot wide open on a sunny day, giving you lots of DoF control.
Together these would cost appr. $200.
