Insanely good
This is a superb optic for the M4/3 format -- the best lens available, easily... I have the 12/2 (which is excellent in its own right) but this raises the bar so much higher. Ridiculously sharp. I was on the fence about dropping the cash for this (considering it's about the cost of the OM-D itself), but after my first day shooting with it, it was a no-brainer... 150mm-equiv. is a tough focal length for me (I'm more of a 24-50mm shooter), but when...

sharp as a tack
This lens is comparable to my old 180 f2.8 Nikkor, BUT it is f 1.8. AND it may even be sharper than the Nikkor. With the focus peeking on the OM-D EM-5, this is amazing for low-light photography of all sorts, even some portrait work.

Best lens I own
I've never had a prime lens that factors out to 150mm. Frankly, its a little too close for me and I need to get used to it, which I am starting to do. I have to say that this lens creates the most amazing images. sharp focus, beautiful bokeh when you shoot wide open. There's a warmth and quality to the images produced by such a great quality lens that I wish i could afford an entire arsenal of these types.I'm looking forward to shooting some rock... Show More

Scary good
Extremely sharp detail, almost like a telephoto macro lens. Very solid. Indoors or close up wide open handheld getting the shot can be a challenge with the focal plane so shallow, but the results are superb. Of course, on a GH3, it's not going in your shirt pocket.

What a great Lens!
I am pleased to submit a review of the Olympus 75mm f1.8 lens for the Micro Four-Thirds format. This lens is a keeper in every way 'cept one (maybe).My current camera is a Panasonic GH2. Good camera but the 14 -140mm zoom is a little soft. So I thought I'd give the Oly 75mm a try. WOW! What a difference! Side-by-side comparison made me cry. The Oly 75mm is fantastic. Definition and contrast to die for. But There is a large disconnect between Pana... Show More

Love it
I have the E-M5 and this lens is a little top heavy for the camera, but I got the grip and the hold feels better in my hands now. The weight doesn't bother me (I use a Canon 7D /grip & a 70-200 2.8 IS II, so the weight of this lens is nothing compared to my Canon). It has a substantial feel (not like a piece of plastic) and I get wonderful photos in my high school gym. I just have to get used to using smaller camera/lens compared to my Canon. I got this for Christmas so I'm still trying to figure out this system. I'm happy with what I got.

Stellar!
All the reviews are correct, this lens is fantastic. I have several excellent pieces of glass between my nikon and olympus kits but I would have to say this one tops them all for both build quality and image quality. A keeper for sure.

Expensive but Leica quality
I am a photojournalist and in over 30 years I have owned a lot of lenses and brands, like Hasselblads, Nikons and Leicas, but this lens along with the EM5 is amazing. Cannot be any better at f1.8 period, I thought the 45 1.8 was awesome and this is better. I have been using it for some news shots, some hockey games and candid portraits, mostly wide open with great results. I will never sell this lens. I do use either a handle or an old Nikon moto...

Terrific optics for the right task
Looking to upgrade the quality of my telephoto images, I decided to try the M.Zuiko 75mm on my Panasonic GH2. My goal was to compare absolute image quality (at an equivalent focal length) with my 14-140mm Panasonic Zoom. Although the zoom is all-purpose in terms of focal length, I felt that the quality could be better at longer focal lengths. Of course anyone will tell you that a prime lens will always outperform a zoom. Too much glass, too many ... Show More

Worth every penny
There's been a lot of outright gushing about this lens, does it live up to the hype? Let's find out. BUILD QUALITY: All metal construction, smooth, well damped focus ring. Looks intimidating, proportionately speaking, it looks like the 85L on a Rebel! No distance meter - 9/10 FOCUS SPEED AND ACCURACY: Insanely quick, and pretty darn accurate! The OM-D its mated to, doesn't always have the most accurate focus, regardless of lens. The focus squares... Show More

My GOTO lens
I use this mostly as a portrait, and shooting about town lens. I brought this and my Leica f1.8 25mm lens to a low light dinner party, and used this lens almost exclusively. Very clear, fast focusing and good aperture and lovelt bokeh. THe only downside, is it's weight. But with the 2 part battery pack, it's very easy to handle, however still pretty heavy. Most of the time, I go between this and the 25mm.
