Review on 📷 Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm F1.8 Lens: High-Performance for Micro Four Thirds Cameras (Black) by Eric Webb

If you're not in the mood to read my full review, just select five stars and buy this item. This lens shouldn't be your first choice when looking for your first four-thirds lens. To do this, you need a versatile wide-angle lens (such as the ultra-powerful Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7). Keep in mind that this 45mm 4/3 lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 90mm. Therefore, you will not use this lens to capture subjects you are standing next to. Why buy this lens? I bought this lens to accompany my Olympus OM-D EM-5 (highly recommended) for portraits and telephotos (e.g. to photograph a rabid raccoon high up in a tree). The large aperture of this lens makes it easy to take well-exposed photos with a blurred background. The combination of a huge lens and large aperture also allows you to take pictures without a flash in extremely low light conditions (almost like night vision. Completely Splinter Cell style). Autofocus is quick and accurate, but manual focus is a pleasure with a large ring that's comfortable to hold. Most importantly, the photo quality is incredible. I love photographing street scenes and people often ask where I got my photos from as if they came from the internet. But if you'd rather photograph people than nature, you can buy this lens, spend a day learning how to use it, and then qualify to make money from wedding photography.
