Love this lens!
I initially purchased this lens by recommendation from YouTube video I watched. As a novice I decided to purchase this lens and I want disappointed. This is a great portrait lens and I'm very impressed by the quality of the images I get.

Top notch
Great focal length for people pictures and for those street shots where you want to get a field of view that so many of the older painters went for. Wonderful to have this lens and reminds me of an 85 mm f1.8 Nikon lens I had in the 80s.

Great lens
For me Mu 4/3 is about a compact, light weight system. This lens is tiny.... compared to 35mm equivalent, it easily fits in a shirt pocket. It is sharp, contrasty, focuses fast and the images are superb. It also focuses quite close.

Nice long FL, light weight, small
This is a great lens for that little bit of extra reach. It is small and light and easy to use. Wish it had Aperture controls on it but this does not seem to be an M43 thing, other than that I like this very much, very sturdy lens.

Woah! Sharp, fast and an amazing bokeh
I am quite impressed with this small lens. I was taking a stroll through Yodobashi in Japan when I decided to strap this lens onto my GX850 to just give a try. I was instantly impressed with the outcome and bought one right there.

Great Portrait lens
Excellent portrait lens to complement the Olympus 4/3system. If you are tired of lugging many pounds of full sized camera gear around, the olympus system is a quality alternative. This lens is fantastic, and a steal at this price.

Fantastic Lens
Great in low light! I've been using it indoors at night for portraits and for sunrises. Great image quality. I love how fast it is to start up and shoot with compared to the kit lens. I'm using it on an Olympus E-PL5. Great combo!

I'm ready for a m43 pro body!!!
With this lens, the 12mm f/2.0, and the upcoming 25 f/1.4 from Panasonic, just give me a pro body and I'll be ready to dump my heavy full size equipment. This lens is sharp, focus is fast, and the build quality is incredible!!!

Novice photographer with a great lens
I entered the micro 4/3s world in the hope that this could be a fun diversion. This lens has proven it can be. It makes taking pictures nearly foolproof. Great in low light. Clear as crystal results. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Excellent kit.
Excellent value, I had long wanted to purchase the 75mm f1.8 lens and it did not disappoint. Great Bokeh, but certainly great performance in low light. Having the added 45mm f1.8 was a nice added bonus. A good set of Primes.

Pin Sharp Deliciousness
Superb pics, great construction, smooth focus ring with perfect resistance. Used in conjunction with my Panny GH2 for video, it's lightness and fastness means I can shoot handheld more often. Cant wait to get the 12mm F2.

The amazing gem
I use it mounted on my Olympus EPM1. It is amazing how this lens could shot portrait specialized high quality photos. Everything seems have different set of story after shot by this lens. It is interesting to play around.

Shallow DOF on-the-go
Very happy with this lens! I have it paired with a GF5, mostly to do portrait and product shots. I love the size. The whole setup is not much bigger than a P&S. I think of it as my m43 version of the Sigma DP3 Merril.

Great sharp lens
Very light, super sharp on GH3, fast autofocus. On a retina display, with minor sharpening of the RAWS, it's like looking through a window at the subject. Not easy to do handheld video, though, but fine witha tripod.

Essential Equipment
Everything I've read about in reviews. Sharp, fast autofocus (OM-D), creamy boken, exceptional low light performance. Fit and finish could be better (metal), but as it is, it's great. This is ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT!

Olympus lens
Still want a longer lens for my Inspire2 drone. Even a longer zoom up to a 100mm would be nice Olympus! But very clear in the edges. Nice job! I sure would like to see the Z30x fir the Inspire2. Us DJI LISTENING?

Olympus lens
Seems more than sufficient for my particular needs. I have no facility for doing detailed tests of lenses but this one seems to be extremely sharp, certainly fast, and will do the job with my particular camera.

An excellent lens - incredible value.
Wonderful Image Quality! This lens is an incredible value. Contrast, Clarity and minimal CA compares to my Canon L Lenses. The IQ is superior to my Canon 50mm 1.4 (5d Mk II) especially in low light situations.

Sharp and Fast
This is a sharp, fast lens that I had planned to use only for portraits but have found it to be fine for walk around shooting. The stabilization of the OM E5 makes using this lens even in dim light no problem.

Superb Portrait Lens
Great optical performance from this lightweight and compact Portrait Lens. Very sharp and nice and fast. Great match fro the Olympus OMD-E-M5 or EM-1. My favorite prime lens. Highly rated and would recommend.

Amazing low light portraits
I am amazed at the 45mm for its sharp image and fast AF when using touch screen on a single subject. Multiple objects will have AF dancing around even if you select a narrow box. Not aweful but not as crisp.

Wow Wow Perfect
Used the lens for street shooting and low light indoors. Excellent. The first glance through the viewfinder told the story. Even though I have the Panny 20mm 1.7 the Olympus was obviously sharper everywhere.

Fantastic Short Portrait Lens
Very sharp and contrasty. Cool color rendition. 1.8 aperture dramatically increases focus speed for most cameras and gives you a brighter live view. stopped down to f/4 it's up there with the canon 85 1.2L

excellent lens, great quality
Looking for a fast lens for the OMD EM-10, this one was recommended to me and I couldn't be happier with the results. I shoot portraits, food and landscape and this is a beautiful fixed focus, fast lens.
