Review on Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f1.8 (Silver) Lens for Micro 4/3 Cameras - International Version: Enhanced Photography Experience, No Warranty by Hayden Jay ᠌

Excellent glass. You are going to be quite impressed by the quality of the photographs that you take after filming on whale glass. Light—with an aperture of 1.8, you can take pictures almost entirely in the dark and still get fantastic results. In terms of focal length, a typical portrait will have an actual FR value of 90 millimeters when shot with a Micro 4/3 camera. It is impossible to say that it applies to everyone because you are constantly rushing to ensure that everything you require is included in the frame. It is more logical to take a FR of 17-25 mm as a universal fix for a system with a matrix crop factor of 2. This is because the matrix crop factor is 2. Expensive, just like every other glass that works with this system. It is disappointing because the only component included in the package besides the lens is the lens itself. The lens hood is made out of a piece of plastic and costs a total of three kopecks to purchase. Yet, they also offer to sell it separately for the price of two thousand dollars (for the original), which is an aggressive marketing strategy employed by the Olympus office. When shooting on an open hole, it creates beautiful bokeh; however, when shooting during the day in the bright sun, you need to cover it noticeably because there is too much light. However, if there is not enough light, you can always cover it. I had a 14-42 whale lens, and for it I spent five hundred dollars on a filter and a non-original JJC hood. Both items worked flawlessly with this piece of glass because their diameters and mounts are identical. In a nutshell, it is excellent for use as a portrait lens. However, if you use the remaining funds to make a purchase, you should consider purchasing two Sigma lenses with focal lengths of 30 and 19 millimeters. This will allow you to obtain as many as two fixes, albeit with a slightly smaller aperture of 2.8. If your means are not an issue, getting one of them is an absolute necessity. However, it must be understood that it is not appropriate for use as a "staff-universal," as the angle is too restricted. Keep in mind that the glass FR is written on the box, but the actual FR is determined by the matrix, and in the case of the Micro 4/3 system, it comes out to 90mm. Nevertheless, there is not a stabilizer included into the lens itself. However, the built-in stub is only present in Olympus carcasses; Panasonic does not have this feature. Always keep this in mind when searching for a glass that is comparable to Panasonic. Even after some time has passed, I continue to drink out of this glass. There is no one else who can replace him in the "budget" series who isn't part of the Pro team. Olympus runs promotions on a regular basis, during which the price of glass is marked down by two to three times. At the moment, he is constructing thirteen thousand for a new one, which is very profitable given the current exchange rate.
