Sings on the Gh4
This is by far a must buy for any Micro 4/3rds shooter. Sharp as a tack and let's you get down to f/1.8.

Maravilloso lente
El placer de una buena fotografia empieza en el momento mismo de su toma. Uso el 45 mm en Manual Focus, por su extrema nitidez y excelente brokeh. El encuadre aumentado del Visor Electronico y el Histograma en tiempo real (mrito de mi Olympus OMD ) hacen el resto. As la composicion refleja mis intenciones, al hacer perfecto foco en lo que me interesa, con un desenfoque muy esttico del resto y con el balance de luz apropiado. No necesito mas.Este lente es un acierto tecnolgico por su excelente calidad ptica, su nitidez, su pequeo tamao y su bajo precio.

Awesome Lens. Best Value!
I just love and respect this lens. For the price, is in my opinion the best micro 4/3 option for this focal length. I've tested it in a portrait photoshoot at the beach (hard morning light) and it's super sharp and fast, it al delivered a beautiful bokeh. Definitely it comes to stay.

Good Portrait Lens with narrow Depth of Field
As with most of the micro four thirds line this lens seems very small but don't let that make you underestimate the quality results from this lens. Fast focusing, sharp images and the blurry backgrounds we all look for in portraits. Probably one of the must have prime lenses to have with an Olympus OM-D series cameras.

Excellent Focus
Very clear and responsive. Only thing I did not like was it was not really smooth to put on. Very tight and a bit of a scraping sound when putting it on taking it off. Other than that--great glass.

Great Lens Lousy Hood
I have found this lens to be great for taking images of flowers and people. I also like it for taking pictures with available light indoors (e.g.; in museums). With extension tubes, it works almost as well as a macro lens. I ordered the Olympus hood for the lens and was greatly disappointed. The hood was too small and wouldn't fit onto the lens. I returned it. It was made of poor quality material compared to my other Olympus lens hoods. I wish the lens had a screw on high quality hood that wasn't greatly over priced.

Very good lens... Mostly
Really sharp lens wide open and close f1.8. As you stop way down though, your image will soften. Not too bad. And there is a little vignetting at f1.8. Overall though... a really good budget lens.

A great little prime!
So small it will fit nicely in your pocket, but it is a mighty prime, nice for portraits and candid shots. Very sharp with lovely bokeh.

High Performance, Cheap Build Quality
Like most of the Olympus Primes, the 45mm f1.8 has blazing fast and accurate autofocus, fantastic image quality, and produces sharp images. I bought this lens as the last piece of a three lens kit of small primes with excellent performance quality and in this respect, the 45mm f1.8 does not disappoint. But, unlike my other two primes, the Olympus 12mm f/2.0 and Olympus 17mm f/1.8, the build quality of the 45mm f/1.8 is a major disappointment. It ... Show More

As good as the M.Zuiko 25mm F1.8 lens
This lens is as good as the 25mm f/1.8 version, which is excellent. Metal lens mount is high quality. Focus ring is smooth an consistent. It produces very sharp images. Focusing is fast with the E-M10 and lengthly exposures with a decent tripod are fantastic. Portraits are equally great. The lens can be used wide open at f1.8 and focus as close as 1.64 ft for decent macro shots. The lens really is as good as you and the camera are. Highly recomme... Show More

Great image quality and Super Small!
This lens is extremely small and light. Don't be fooled, because it can produce excellent images. Great image quality. Fast large aperture at f/1.8. The lens hood should have been included. Shame on any manufacturer for not including hoods.

Nice Portrait Lens
Although not a macro lens, its focal length makes it good for flora shots with its nice bokeh. It's sharp wide open as per the on-line review site tests and has no detectable optical faults. Flare is well controlled too. For micro 4/3rds format, of course the f/1.8 behaves more like f/4 at 90mm for full frame equivalent, but that's probably about the best you're going to get and it isolates the subject nicely. Bokeh is well behaved with stopping down.

Great lens
Lens takes great photos and balances perfect as an alternative lens to use on a S1000/Z15 GH4 setup. Zoom amount is great

Nice Lens at a reasonable cost
I bought this lens for my LUMIX GH3. It is a very compact lens, that of course is one of the pluses of the micro 4/3 system. This particular lens was highly recommended at CameraLabs.com so I decided to take a chance on it. The lens mount 'fit' is slightly tighter than the Panasonic lenses I have. That surprised me, since both of these reliable companies have subscribed to the micro 4/3 specifications. I'm not suggesting that this 'fit' on the le... Show More

Great Lens!
After switching to the Olympus OM-D from my Canon pro system, I've been looking for lenses of comparable quality to the Canon L series lenses. This one isn't quite at that level, but it's darned good based on the few shots I've already taken.

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.

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.

Essential
this 45 is one of the two or three Oly primes that I feel are essential to your kit. great focal length, great image quality, perfect for walking around and isolating subjects in the environment.

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.

Great lens, great price
Super buy! This lens is a great buy. It is small...even for a mirrorless camera. It is quick to focus...in all conditions. The background bokeh is fabulous . It is a must have.

Beautiful.
I love this glass. It is the first M43 lens I have purchased outside the kit 14-42 which came with my E-PL5, and I literally have not taken it off since I put it on, about two months ago; and my Olympus goes with me everywhere, all the time. It is obviously not the most versatile piece of glass ever designed, being a portrait length lens, and not having a super close minimum focus distance, but the moment I put it on, and framed the same subject ...

Spectacular
One of the best portrait lenses I've ever used. Not quite so smooth as the pre-asph 90 Summicron but it's in that league and a lot less painful to buy. Very sharp, very crisp, magnificent color rendition and superb bokeh. Just can't say enough good things about it. (Well, I could, but the review only allows a certain number of words...)

Great Lens!
This is a must have prime lens for the micro 4/3 system and the second I purchased behind the 20mm f1.7. Great for portraits and short telephoto. I switched to the micro 4/3 system primarily because of size and weight and this lens is a great example of quality in a small package.
