The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

Used with G7. I took a lens from a friend to try, I already have an H-H025, I didn’t see the point in buying. According to personal feelings, the H-X025 has a more even blur, it is lighter, the body with metal elements is, as a result, more reliable, the focus works more accurately and faster.

Pros
  • + Very good sharpness, if you press the aperture a little. + Aperture + Smooth background blur at maximum aperture. + Even jpg comes out quite well. (although shoot on such glass in jpg?)
Cons
  • It’s impossible to say right away . The absence of a stub, perhaps, but I simply don’t have a matrix stub in the camera, so I feel a lack of it when I try to shoot a video from my hands.

I am not disappointed, the quality is satisfying.

In general - an excellent analogue of "fifty kopecks" for mikra. The quality of the picture,comlors, sharpness - everything is on top, everyone and sundry has already said this. Really very high quality and nice glass. But the lens has not only flaws, just features and not always pleasant ones. 1. Sharpness is not always and not everywhere. F1.4comnditionally working, detailing in the center is not the highest, along the edges - soap. F2 - the center is good, thecomrners are soapy. F2.8-4…

Pros
  • Aperture, sharpness in the center, vivid colors, beautiful blur, glare resistance, workmanship.
Cons
  • Sharpness in the corners, rubber ring weakens over time, high price for a new one.

The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

Bought for use with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II camera. I read a lot of reviews before buying and bought it anyway. Tactile, feeling of a very high-quality product, weighty. Pretty tight mounted on the mount, but only the first time. It works well in conjunction, when it gets into focus it gives an excellent result. But sometimes it loses focus, and even from a distance of 1.5-2 meters to the face of the subject, creating the impression of back focus, oddly enough. I had a similar experience…

Pros
  • Light (for me personally). Relatively quiet (reacts to some light sources). Aperture-fast. Resistant to backlight, thanks to proprietary lens coating. Universal focal length on MFT (EFR-50mm). Strict design. Good for both photos and videos, but his "horse" is still a photo, I think. Leica picture, with artistic bokeh (finally in MFT). Ringing sharpness, from an open aperture and up to about f8, I would not recommend further, optimally - up to f5.6. Good equipment (case included) and packaging.
Cons
  • Lack of dust and moisture protection. AF on the lens does not turn off (fee for compactness). The hood is not installed in the stowed position. The price tag and write about it most often. The main thing is that autofocus misses (the background is in focus), and relatively often. Some scold the front cover, but it suits me (or the company changed the design of the cover).

Full compliance with the manufacturer's assurances, high quality.

Must have lens - on m 4/3 - crop of matrix 2, i. E. for full frame - 50 mm, classics of the genre - portrait "fifty dollars" 1.4. Excellent sharpness (even at 1.4), fast focusing. Tested even in studio shooting (with external light sources). The manual focus ring may be a little light - when it is still needed (in difficult lighting conditions), but this is already a nitpick. Leica is not written on the lens in vain, I think the glass is definitely worth my money. Frustrating is the lack of…

Pros
  • Aperture, compactness, sharpness
Cons
  • Lack of protection against moisture, uncomfortable hood, diameter for filters - 46 mm

Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

If you are going to take portraits, the word "bokeh" pleases the ear and the eye, often adjust the focus manually, especially on a camera with a pick - this panel is for you. For other genres like landscapes, street and travel, you can get by with budget options without losing picture quality. Different pros: Bokeh, it's a background blur - very similar to a real watering can. Pleasant and understandable operation of the manual focus ring. Popular 46mm filter thread. Has some cons Strangely…

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

The glass is magnificent, the whale one is now gathering dust in the table)) The luminosity is quite enough for the room. It holds backlight perfectly, the aberrations are minimal, the sharpness over the entire field of the frame is already ideal starting from 2.0 to 5.6)) My copy rattles with the aperture and sharpens quite slowly in apartment lighting, on the street without problems. In general, I recommend glass to all owners of Panasonic and Olympus with M4 / 3 mount. The price is not like…

Pros
  • Constructive design, optical quality, aperture ratio, convenient focal length
Cons
  • rattling aperture, slow focus

The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

I bought it on ebay for 20 They are bought very quickly, as the offers are single. If you are going to use a micro, this device is a must-buy! I use a GH2 carcass. There are many advantages, few disadvantages, and then rather it is nit-picking. Good luck to everyone in using this miracle. With its pros. Gorgeous lens! The picture is simply flawless, close-ups are a delight. The focus works just instantly, the transmission is amazing, in short it works like a deaf-mute, what you see, you get in…

Expectations were not met, average quality.

Before that, I used a cropped canon, I decided to switch to m4 / 3 because of the potentially better (at that time) video and compactness. The whale lens on my G5 turned out to be just rubbish compared to a similar canon. And so I decided: I'll take the top fix, "fifty kopecks", and everything will be in chocolate. Unfortunately, this did not happen. "Ringing" sharpness is not observed no matter how you focus. I bought it for 600 USD, I think that I overpaid three times. With canon, as a fix, I

Pros
  • Aperture.
Cons
  • Price. Weight, dimensions, ugly bokeh, ordinary picture. Terribly catches hares without a hood and special filters.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Got pros: + Incredible sharpness. + Nimble focus. + Beautiful drawing. Some cons: In the 2022, for some reason, it is almost impossible to find it, and it costs somehow completely inadequately. I ordered from the USA.

Excellent product, the best quality.

I do not regret the purchase. For video, it's just perfect. Especially if you need to shoot a near-portrait angle without distortion. with such aperture on gh1, even in a dark room for 640iso I didn’t seem to go even once . Very nice model, it's a pity that there are so few like it. I would love to buy a 45mm watering can, but it is extremely expensive, and I’m not particularly interested in macro, and I see no reason to overpay for it.

Pros
  • Excellent, sharp, extremely fast (1.4 is no joke to you), much sharper than nokton 25 0.95, the classic fifty dollars. Even an inexperienced person really likes the pictures from this lens (I especially liked the description "as if looking in a mirror"), the faces on it are perfectly transmitted in terms of proportions (of course - it's an analogue of 50mm). The focus ring is electronic - it spins endlessly in each direction. Focusing is incredibly convenient and pleasant (rubber grip). the lens itself is made of extremely noble plastic (thread made of some kind of steel or something like that). A lens hood is included (very cute - with an aspect ratio of 16x9). Vignetting is almost non-existent. Sharpness is excellent even at 1.4. in 2.2 it’s already crazy, in 4 it’s great even in the corners ! Nice bokeh (I don’t care at all, but there are lovers). Focusing from a very close distance (about 35cm). the course of the focus ring is such that you can fine-tune the focus very accurately.
Cons
  • All the same, a little expensive - but now I can say that I don’t regret a penny and it costs its money - so this is hardly a drawback. 46mm thread for filters - I can’t find any ND anywhere at all, and I can’t find an adapter for 46-52 yet either - apparently I’ll stir up at auctions, or I just searched badly. Aperture adjustment is exclusively in the device - there is no ring on the lens. It's a pity there is no stabilization, but with such aperture, sharpness, this is in principle not possible. Unfortunately, they transmit the picture insanely flawlessly (and for me this is a small minus), and the same Helios 44-6, even with a slightly closed aperture, makes the picture much more plastic. there is no such thing with a watering can - what came - it was almost flawless and removed. There are chromatic aberations at a full hole - not very noticeable, but there is, and even at any aperture position there is a little bit, but not much more than with other lenses. In principle, all the shortcomings are rather nit-picking all the same, and attempts to find them in general.
