Positioned as the perfect portrait prime, the silver M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 from Olympus is a sleek 90mm equivalent lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The short-telephoto focal length pairs with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture to benefit working in low-light conditions and also offers greater control over depth of field for producing selective focus effects. The optical construction of the lens incorporates two extra-high refractive index elements, which help to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations in order to realize notable sharpness and accurate rendering. Additionally, a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system is employed to deliver quick, quiet, and precise focusing performance to suit both video and photo applications.

question
CAN THIS LENS (AND THE OLY 25MM 1.8 LENS) WITH A CERTAIN MOUNT FIT ON THE NEW SONY 7AR2 CAMERA ?AND DO YOU LOSE OR GAIN ANY THING WITH THAT ADAPTER? PLANNING TO GET IT FOR MY NEW GH4.
Micro four thirds lenses will not work on the Sony a7RII. B&H does not carry a M43 to Sony E-mount adapter, nor am I aware of one on the market. The M43 lenses, such as this 45mm f/1.8, are designed for a sensor half the size of the a7R II. So, even if you were to find an adapter, the lens wouldnt cover the entire full frame sensor. An optic would also likely be needed in order for the lens to retain focus at infinity, as the difference in the register between the two mounts is just over 1mm.

Is this the lens compatible with the Inspire 1 x5R?
Yes, DJI Inspire 1 v2.0 RAW Quadcopter with Zenmuse X5R 4K Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal has a micro 4/3 lens mount. Any Olympus micro 4/3 lens (Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Lens (Black)) will be compatible with this Gimbal.

Where can i get power cable/charger cable?
This lens does not require a charger. However, if you need a replacement charging cable for your digital camera, check your user manual to see what type you need and order from B&H.

question
will this work well for Panasonic GH5??
4/3rds lenses work well across the range of both Panasonic and Olympus ICL cameras. I use my Oly 45mm on a Panny G7 with remarkable results...it is one of the sharpest lenses I own! That said, I do not shoot video, only stills. If you plan on using it as a video only or video mostly lens, you may want to test it before plunking down the cash.
