Review on Silver Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 25mm F1.8 Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras by (seo joon) ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, a pleasure to use.

Reminiscent of retro, a large front lens, plastic is moderately hard, with a matte surface. EGF 50 has become my favorite glass. Not a portrait, but quite suitable for photographing acquaintances, friends, in the city and in nature, the angle limits the volume, the background, no need to crop, distortion is minimal (compared to the Sigma 19.5 mm f2.8). My second high-aperture fix, I'm not going to sell, it suits my tasks (ideas). The shot, cropping is strong, but the detailing is practically not affected, there is no soap (as well as the "plasticine" texture). I photographed at a fairly strong distance (critical for whales).

Pros
  • Build quality, dressed without backlash, softness of the focusing ring.
Cons
  • There are no "hooks", perfect in appearance and country of origin, Japan.

Has pros: Everything is already written Cons: Well, except that 45 / 1.8 still somehow shoots more interesting

I use it as the main lens instead of the whale one. I've been shooting with it since I bought it.
