OM System M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 II

The Micro Four Thirds nifty-fifty, now weather sealed: a 50mm-equivalent f/1.8 that weighs 156 g and focuses fast and silently. It is the first prime to add to any OM kit for portraits, low light and everyday shooting, and the II version finally matches the sealed bodies it lives on.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
