Reddit mentions of Fotasy Manual 35mm f1.6 APSC Lens for M43 MFT Micro 4/3 Mirrorless Cameras, fit Olympus E-PL8 OM-D E-M1 I II E-M1X E-M5 I II III E-PM2 E-PM1/Panasonic G7 G9 GF7 GF8 GH5 GM5 GX7 GX8 GX9 GX85 GX80 GX85 (3516M43)

Not sure if this is what you are thinking about, but as others have done, I have put a 35mm f1.7 CCTV lens on my M43. If you search here for CCTV you can find examples of shots. Costs about $30 from Amazon or Ebay which is why I thought of it.

This crappy lens has been my favorite. I also have the chinese 25mm but it is so bad that I don't use it.

Below are some affordable lenses that will make a world of difference for portrait photography

The following lens almost never leaves my camera.

Below is a very cheap lens that will give you so much blur it will be hard to manually focus.

You should check out the example pics for each lens in the review section. The lower the f stop and the higher the focal distance the more background blur.

Thanks, Brunerww. I have decided to get the G6 for now as it will allow me more money in lenses and accessories at this time. The GH4 will probably be my Christmas present to myself!

I decided to get:

This kit with 2 lenses,

This adapter for my old Pentax lenses

This coupler power adapter

This 35MM Fotasy CCTV lens I've read so much about.

I used your affiliate link to purchase as a thank-you for all the helpful information you've given me the past weeks.

This is a decent list. The cheap 35mm 1.4 c mount is also worth while. The 25mm version is not. Too much corner blur on m4/3. Note that you must have a c mount to m4/3 adapter to use these lenses. The 35mm I linked to comes with one, but I have not used that particular adapter to vouch for it's quality.

30$ waddafuq? is this it? I have a the nex-5 and am looking for a portrait-ish lens with okay depth of field. Does the lens actually feel that cheap when you use it?

Edit: I guess follow up question is the blur actually from the lens or done in photoshop?

I got a gh4 and 4 used lenses from keh.com.

769093 MINOLTA 50MM F/1.7 ROKKOR X MD MOUNT $23.00

235630 NIKON 50MM F/1.8 SERIES E AIS $43.00


244277 NIKON 80-200MM F/4 AIS $144.0

243198 NIKON 43-86MM F/3.5 AI $29.00

I also got a generic focal reducer -nikon to mft, regular nikon to mft adapter, and minolita to mft adapter

this all cost me about 2100.

you could drop the 80-200 and the Rokkor and get 2 great lenses.

actually I want to recommend this lens it's crazy just hoe good it is for being so inexpensive and plastic.

I have been looking into C-mount lenses and it turns out you can get some pretty decent lenses for crazy cheap. They are pretty soft around the edges and have all kinds of flare, vignetting and weird bokeh, but it produces some cool vintage looking effects without looking too crazy. I am definitely picking up a set of these for my gh4. You can find sample images from these lenses around the web. You can't go wrong for around $30 each!
