This lens is very small, almost dwarfed by the camera body. Its also extremely affordable. Don't be tempted to dismiss it on size or low price, this lens is "shockingly" sharp with none of the noise you find with cheap lenses. My copy, bought second hand and in Mint condition on eBay was a very reasonable price, the first few images out of the camera (excellent autofocus) had me saying out loud "wow", at 100% zoom the image is sharp and at 200% still sharp-the lens is that good! Depth of field at 1.8 is very shallow! Note that this lens in full-frame camera equivalent is a 90mm, a perfect portrait lens. Highly recommended.

Bought this very small lens as a new user to the micro four thirds system with some reservations as I am used to large lenses of a DSLR. Well I need not of worried it produces amazing sharp images at wide open lens openings and its size is so small you hardly know its on the camera. Would recommend to anyone on this format for Portraiture which it is great for. Best sharpness achieved around two stops down.

Bought to go on DJI X5s drone camera, brilliant lens. Very sharp when properly focused, AF is generally very good on X5s, occasionally drifts but that is down to the camera rather than the lens. For any drone OPs out there, a great lens to have in the bag. Most people are used to the wide angle view of consumer drones, so using a lens like this really gives a different look.

What can I say about this lens that hasn't already been said by more eminent MFT users than I. The lens is sharp, fast and so tiny it's a must have for even the smallest CSC user's kit bag. The focal length finds application in many situations besides the obvious portraiture use

- largely good enough for a 12 Mp sensor. Nice image and colours. Will see how durable it is. It fits in the space of the Lumix 14-42mm lens but more luminous (important for the underwater case). Just mind (for the Lumix GF3 body) that Lumix has the antishake device in the lenses, Olympus in the cameras (but no antishake is no problem underwater).

A really useful compact moderately-fast prime lens (equivalent to 90mm traditional lens) - ideal for occasional portraits and street photography. Excellent for indoor portraits etc. Silver version excellent value.

Still use my E-M5 camera for walks, days out and trips on my bike, rather my Nikon D610 when I want to travel light. This was one of the first lenses I bought for the Olympus M43 system and while the body of the lens has a cheap and plasticky feel and doesn't feel particularly robust, the lens other attributes make up for those negative points. The lens is light weight, compact and the autofocus is quick and accurate. The images I've had from this lens have been the biggest surprise. They are sharp and when the lens is used correctly returns great results for a lens that is also affordable. Great for travelling, portraiture and general photography.

A fun little lens, very handy for travelling, makes camera more portable.

I bought this lens for my olympus EPL-1. I also have the lumix 20mm, olympus 12-50mm, olympus 40-140mm. The olympus 45mm is is my favorite, it is super sharp, gives great short field of depth with soft background. Great colour in bright light and works well in low light without the flash. Its good for portrait and landscape. I think it is better than the panasonic 20mm, which says A LOT. The only thing that would stop this being the default lens I have on the body is if olympus brought out a 25mm f1.8 Hope this helps, Mike.
