Micro four thirds lenses, standard four thirds camera?

mullmick

Hi there.

A question about the micro 4/3s vs standard 4/3s system.
I have an entry level DSLR- Olympus 510. I am relatively happy with it, but wanted to buy a lense that would be relatively good for taking portrait type shots.

One that receives good reviews was the M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f1.8 lense. Its about 200 quid on amazon, but it is a micro four thirds lense.

Does anyone know if this will fit my standard four thirds camera?

I have searched the internet, but haven't been able to find explicit information either way. Lots of info on buying an adaptor for a micro four thirds camera so it can take standard lenses, but not the other way round.

Thanks for your input!

I am pretty sure you can't use a M4/3 lens on a 4/3 body as the mounting flange to sensor distance is shorter than that used with 4/3 lenses.

There are many superb native 4/3 lenses. The ZD 50mm f2 macro is by all accounts a cracker of a lens and would be well worth considering.
