The Best Tiny Micro Four Thirds Lenses for Your Everyday Carry – Micro Four Nerds’ Top Picks
If you love Micro Four Thirds for its portability, then this video from Micro Four Nerds is a must-watch. It dives into a handpicked selection of the smallest and most versatile MFT lenses — ideal for building a lightweight, high-quality everyday carry kit.
- Olympus 14-42mm EZ: Tiny power zoom lens, more versatile than it looks, but not stabilized.
- Panasonic Lumix 12-32mm: Wider, OIS-stabilized, compact — ideal for non-IBIS bodies like GM1 or GX800.
- Panasonic Leica 15mm f/1.7: Premium compact prime with aperture ring and lovely rendering.
- OM System 17mm f/1.8 (new version): Weather-sealed refresh of the classic 17mm. Sharp, fast, lightweight.
- Olympus 17mm f/2.8 Pancake: One of the smallest lenses ever. Cheap, sharp, and perfect for pocket setups.
- Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 Pancake: Super small, slightly wider than the 17mm, excellent for stealthy shooting.
- Panasonic Leica 9mm f/1.7: Wide, fast, light, and macro-capable. A true creative lens.
- Laowa 6mm f/2.0: Ultra-wide manual focus lens. Slightly heavy but incredibly fun and creative.
- Panasonic 20mm f/1.7: Tiny classic pancake with fantastic image quality. AF struggles, but worth it.
- OM System 20mm f/1.4 PRO: A refined alternative to the 20mm pancake. Larger, sharper, better AF.
