    • You have to own this if you have a M43 system camera!
*: Silver
I was in a big debate as of late. I wanted to jump into the Nex or Alpha line from Sony. Each time I pulled the pre-order trigger on a camera I canceled it in doubt. One of the reasons is because I have a very special place in my heart for Olympus. Boy I am glad I made the choice I did. This Olympus 45mm is what has changed my mind completely. This lens represents a strong commitment from the Micro Four Thirds consortium to provide true photo enthusiasts a well thought out and complete system. Needless to say I am a prime lens fan. I don't remember the last zoom lens I wanted to shoot, of course this is just my opinion. I think Olympus and Panasonic have clearly shown their product is far more mature than the Nex lineup, but that does not mean they should rest easy. Sony has some very compelling tech and if M43 want's to remain competitive there is going to need to be a serious look at sensor quality. Now onto the lens itself! I was surprise when it arrived how small it was. I had read online about it's narrow and petite form. Honestly I was not prepared for how small it is. Like Steve Huff SAID, it is has far less girth than the Panny 20mm 1.7. The stout build quality also surprised me and while it is not as good as a Leica, Zeiss or even the Olympus 12mm F2, it is very good for it's price point. Part of this may be due to the perceived "density" of the lens because of it's diminutive size. The lens design itself is very well thought out. The focus ring is smooth and in the perfect place. It looks amazing as well. It features a small 37mm filter thread which should cut the cost of a larger filter by a bit. However this does not really matter as it doesn't come with a lens hood. You have to buy one separately from Olympus if you need it. I needed one. This is perhaps my biggest problem with the lens, which I can handle! I was a bit concerned at first when I saw there was no black lens option from Olympus a few months ago when this was announced. However, after looking at it on my black GF1 I have to admit I really like the retro look it gives it. In fact, I think I like the silver-lens-on-black-body look better than anything. It reminds me of some old Leitz or Voigtlander lenses, and that of course is ALWAYS a good thing. I tested the AF outside as well as in the dimly lit studio. The lens is very quiet and snappy in it's performance. I am sure the EP-3 would really make the AF on this lens shine. One of the biggest reasons for buying this lens was AF. I was worried that it wouldn't focus very well with just the strobe's modeling lights in the studio. Contrary to that, it perform admirably. It wasn't absolutely perfect but neither were any of my DSLR systems. I used both face detection and single point AF and both settings worked great. As a Panasonic user, I wish I had image stabilization. One reason that I am anxiously awaiting the Pen Pro. ... show more

    • sharp and portable
*: Black
not too narrow of a field of view to use around town, but very sharp and focuses fast. 4.5 stops of light greater than the kit zoom! (kit zoom does 40mm @ f5.6). I tested the benefit of stops of light vs zoom: Better results handheld photographing owls at night with this, than the kit 40-150 @ 150mm, even though the 150 is 3x the zoom and thus I have to crop the 45mm. Not as sharp as my 12-40 pro and not weather sealed, but at 1/3 of the price, 1/3 of the weight, and half the length, I say this one is more of a bargain for those who take their camera on casual adventures. On the other hand, I find the Pro's gimicky focus clutch incredibly useful, and love it's hard stops at the end of focus. Also the Pro feels like good build quality, and is often available for around 2x the cost of this lens. For my use, I wish there was something in the middle. The focus and the weather sealing of the Pro, but with size [and lesser image quality, which I sometimes don't find useful] of the Premium (the 45mm f1.8). As for me, I put a high priority on small and light, for if I lose the motivation to photograph if I have to carry a bag. HTH! ... show more

Review Image by beikokunotora beikokunotora
Equivalent to 90mm lens on 35mm SLR (or full-frame DSLR camera). A good addition to the 17mm and 25mm fixed lenses from Olympus. PROS Lens is razor-sharp (I think this sharper than the 25mm and a lot sharper than the 17mm) and the autofocus is quiet and very rapid even in fairly dim conditions (on Oly ELP5 and ELP7 bodies). Great for portraits as others have noted. Bokeh is soft and round (see picture) while detail is razor sharp even wide open. A tiny bit of edge softness BUT only at F1.8 stopped to F2.8 this lens is extremely sharp across the entire field. Good contrast, color rendition, and flare is well-controlled (two included photos were shot into the sun). It is a small lens, good for portability with a few other primes if you are not into zoom. Minimum focus distance is about 19.5". Focus ring is smooth and easy to control in manual focus mode. Lens mount is metal unlike cheaper kit lenses. CONS Bit expensive for a plastic body lens. That being said - I have used it a lot for 2 years and everything works fine, so maybe the plastic is adequate. ... show more

    • My favorite lens, image quality and extra stops of light are invaluable. Great for video as well.
*: Black
I pair this with my Panasonic G7 and was my first lens after my kit lens. The Image quality is night and day. The extra 2 stops of light from the kit lens is extremely helpful, and 45mm focal length is perfect for portraits or capturing small room events. I'm currently renting the 75mm 1.8 and honestly the 45mm is on par with that lens save the extra focal length (though I've only looked at the images through my camera. Worth the cost. It also works extremely well for video and doesn't make an awkward focusing sound like the 17mm 1.8. Only downside for me is that it's not image stabilized, which hurts on the G7 body but I can't really fault Olympus for that. Buy this lens. ... show more
