    Four-Thirds Lens equivalent for EF50mm f/1.8?

    Good morning and I hope you will be patient with another "beginner" question. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I spent a little time shooting a friend's Canon using the EF50mm f/1.8 II lens. I was very pleased with the results. What would be the equivalent lens for my Olympus E620?
    Thanks,
    Gonzo

    Canon's crop factor of 1.6 gives you a EFL of 80mm.

    Olympus's crop factor is 2 so the closest Zuiko lens would be the 35mm.

    80/2=40mm

    Cheers, Don

    There's also....

    Panasonic/Leica 25mm f/1.4 D which is probably going to be difficult to find.

    Sigma makes a 20ish or 30ish fast prime as well for the 4/3rds mount.

    How about the Olympus 25mm f/2.8 Pancake Lens
    That would be like a 50mm f2.8 which would be a stop slower.
    But still quite usable in lower light and indoors.

    I interpreted the OP's question to be what would be the equivalent focal length in 4/3's glass....

    Perhaps Gonzo could clarify
