Which lens do you need for your Olympus mirrorless camera?
If you have an Olympus mirrorless camera, you can choose from many lenses. Aren't you sure which lenses are suitable for your camera? Olympus has an extensive selection themselves, but the lenses by Panasonic have the same mount. We'll explain which lenses fit on your Olympus mirrorless camera.
Olympus mirrorless cameras with Micro Four Thirds sensor
Olympus mirrorless cameras have a Micro Four Thirds mount and sensor. Lenses with an MFT mount fit on here. The MFT sensor is smaller than a full-frame and APS-C sensor, which is why it has a crop factor of 2. You multiply the focal length of your lens by 2, so a 50mm lens works like a 100mm lens. This is useful if you want to capture objects from afar, because you can zoom in further. Panasonic also has lenses with an MFT mount. Thanks to this, you can use these on your Olympus camera as well.
