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.

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 .

Described as a portrait lens, which of course it is, it is also very good at other similar shots, not least for flowers. Its large aperture enables it to give great bokeh, and even at full aperture the sharpness is impressive. Great little lens.
