Many in the reviews note that the lens is expensive, but personally I think that this is a definite must-have for every owner of Micro 4/3 cameras (unless, of course, you already have an Olympus ED 75mm f / 1.8). Firstly, glass gives a geometrically correct picture without any distortion. Secondly, it is light and at the same time sharp. Well, he has a cool drawing.

After reading cool reviews on this lens, I decided to write my own. I have been using the lens for three years, I won’t exchange it for anything, I haven’t seen it better. At the same time, I use lenses: 25mm watering can, Panasonic 12-35mm, Panasonic 14mm, Olympus 17mm 1/8, FANTASTIC video, if you want to see a revelation, shoot a video, it’s amazing for 12 this is possible: cinematic, plastic and at the same time a clear picture ! Owners of any expensive camcorders - don't dream - it's not…

Very nice to use for portraits - very detailed, sharp, bright bright image. Perfectly blurs the background and quickly focuses. It has noticeable visible advantages compared to zooms 14-42 II R or 14-150 precisely in terms of the purity of the resulting image and the absence of distortion. Due to its compactness and low weight, it fits into a jacket pocket without pulling it.

The glass is just great, the E-PL3 worked great, the pictures come out great. Fast focusing, running and jumping children shoots at once with a minimum shutter speed, and you can even crop it 2 times without quality loss even when printing A4. The only thing I didn’t like is that the camera is small and the glass is small, it’s not very convenient to hold the lens with a “reflex” grip from below and it’s a little scary to drag it by the glass. But the kit is so light, lighter than many SLR…

I shoot mostly now only on him, I pushed the other portraits into the box away. It conveys volume / perspective well, the pictures are airy, it's nice to look at. An excellent 7-blade diaphragm, which gives an almost perfect circle at running values ​​of 2-2.2-2.5-2.8-3.2-3.5, then it’s already slightly “rhombit”, but it’s not so important there. The circles are perfect, even around the perimeter of the frame and not lentil like some. This is the second lens after the panablin20 that you want…

This is truly a must have for any M4/3 system owner. This lens is a reference to the legendary OM Zuiko 50 / 1.8 of the old Olympus film system, but it is spared from the annoying barrel, and the chromaticity is also reduced. Impeccably sharp, but most importantly - it has really beautiful bokeh, like its film "grandfather". The Olympus engineers, realizing that they would have to work hard to make a lens with beautiful bokeh for a camera with a relatively small sensor (which is the M4 / 3)…

I've had my eye on the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 for a long time, ever since I bought my first micro 4/3 unit. But, what stopped me from buying was that this glass, although it is considered one of the budget ones, is still far from cheap. Secondly, there were a sufficient number of not entirely flattering reviews on the network, they say there are quite a lot of marriage, and this is soapiness and overshooting autofocus. and in general, that the Sigma 30mm f/2.8 Art at half the cost produces the same

In principle, all the main pros and cons of this glass have already been described in detail in other reviews, so I will share my general impression. If earlier (and before there were Nikon, and Canon, and Pentax), both Olympus itself and mirrorless cameras still caused unhealthy skepticism in me, now, after being introduced to this miracle of technology, my opinion has changed dramatically. Think for yourself: you no longer need to have kilograms of optics and carcasses to get the right…
