A large maximum aperture of f1.8 can perform superbly in a great range of applications, including capturing a nice depth of field effect by blurring the background and making your subject in focus, a well lit and sharp portraitures etc.
I was looking for the sharpest lens available for micro 4/3, and the only thing I knew was Leica Nocticron worth $1600. Even though reviews say it's fabulaou, that's way too much for my amateur use.
Then I found a comparison of 3 42.5-45mm lenses and this Olympus 45mm f/1.8 was the second sharp after the Nocticron, wow! For about a $200, yes!
Now, after I've been using it for some time already, I must say, it is sharp. Sharper than my Panasonic 25mm f/1.7. Way sharper than my Olympus 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ.
Yet, it looses some sharpness after f/2.8 and lower. At 1.8, it even gives darker pictures (that's strong vignetting, I guess). I want to make a comprehensive comparison at f/1.8 and higher up to 4.0 and watch every pixel. Maybe later :-)
I'm definitely happy with the lens. I consider it's a must-buy 45mm (90mm equivalent) for 4/3 cameras.Read full review
Such a fantastic lens. I have already used it lots and can see it being my go-to lens. Really easy to create super sharp portraits with lovely bokeh backgrounds!
This is a great portrait lens for a MFT camera. I use this on the Panasonic GH5 and the images are sharp, detailed there's a lovely background bokeh on pictures taken owing to the aperture. A great prime lens for those wanting nice portraits.
Light weight with great features ,sums it up . So glad I bought it
a new ,genuine Olympus,boxed lens , well below the going rate . Added to my Panasonic Lumix GX80 has given me a new dimension in sharpness , especially for portraits and in low light situations .
This is a remarkably small lens, much smaller than my 25mm f1.7 Panasonic and a delight to use on a small M4/3rds body (I use a Panasonic GX80) It's very sharp with a nice rendering and portraits at f1.8 have a very pleasant shallow depth of field. There are plenty of reviews out there so I'll just say that I agree with them, it's a great little lens.
