The Holy Trinity of Micro Four Thirds Lens

Many photographers have heard of the “Holy Trinity” for various systems, when asked experienced photographer will say that lenses are a better investment than a new camera body.

Holy Trinity usually means a wide angle lens, a standard short portrait focal lens and a long/portraits focal lens which many blog site, many forums had deem are the Olympus 12mm f2.0 wide angle lens, Panasonic/Leica 25mm f1.4 lens and the Olympus 75mm f1.8 lens. As you can see these 3 lens are not cheap, the cheapest among is the Panasonic/Leica 25mm f1.4, Amazon selling USD $597.99, 2nd hand selling around $600 in Singapore Carousell.

My budget "Holy Trinity" lens are as follow:

• Wide angle 28mm equivalent: Panasonic 14mm f2.5 (Around $150*) Reviews
• Same viewing angle as the eye 50mm equivalent: Panasonic 25mm f1.7 (Around $200*) Reviews
• Portrait lens 90mm equivalent: Olympus 45mm f1.8 (Around $200* but I got it @ $180*) Reviews

*Note: All those 2nd hand price quoted can be found in Carousell Singapore.
