Great M 4/3 Lens
Great Bokeh and a very sharp lens even at f/1.8. See attached photo, it was taken with a panasonic GX1 camera and 45mm olympus lens at f/1.8, iso 160/1/800 sec. This is a Great lens for M 4/3 cameras. I plan to get in near future the panasonic 20mm lens and the Olympus 12mm lenses.

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.

Hope Other companies pay attention
I have an Olympus OMD EM 1 and a Pen F. I also own a Sony A7 R II The Sony cost more but the OMD is made better. The lens gives sharp results. Unlike Sony Olympus lenses are well paired with there system. Don't know why Sony sold there stake in Olympus! Can't wait for the OMD II.

Super sharp lens
After reading other reviews, I had to try it. Yes this is a super sharp lens . Wish Olympus would include lens hood and case. Light weight, easy to use. This lense and the Panasonic 20mm are my go to 4/3 lenses. Don't even bother with the 14-42 kit lens any more. Used with E PL2

Very impressed
So happy with this lens... and for the price it is hard to beat. Olympus "value" line lenses have been surprisingly good. I came from the medium format commercial era where the Zeiss Sonnar 150mm for the Hasselblad 500 was king. I've been lamenting that lens, but not any more!

So far so good
Loving the weight and size of this lens. Bokeh great, shots crisp. Not found anything that don't like so far...... Bought the Vello LH-40B Dedicated Lens Hood (Silver) to go with it - but this is not worth the money - very difficult to fit - in fact have not got it to work yet!

a really great prime lens
I am using this lens with my Panasonic G3 camera. It is a really nice lens, now one of the best I own. It is sharp, and takes photos with nice depth. It is also very good for indoor low light shots, and has great depth of field. It has become the main lens I keep on my camera.

So far so good.
The color values it produces are different at the same settings than the lens my camera gx85 came with. The imagine is darker and has less accurate coloring. That said.. it's less distorting and is capturing more detail. Will require more customized settings for best results.

Pin sharp and awesome bokeh!
No need to purchase the 45mm f/1.2. Only other photographers may see a difference between that lens and this one. Save the cash and gain extra portability. Image quality is pro grade and well not disappoint. If size matters to you, then put an extra large lens hood, ha!

I love this lens!
I bought this lens primarily for portraits, but have also found it useful for fast action photography in low light, such as capturing my granddaughter in action during a recent basketball game. This lens is solidly built and focuses quickly. Image quality is very sharp.

wow
Great lens. Moving from a point and shoot to m4/3 was a huge improvement. And this lens was a huge step up from the kit. I'm sure there are pros out there that could find something to gripe about, but I can't. Sharpness, fast AF, nice MF ring. This thing has it all.

Great bundle!
The 75/1.8 and 45/1.8 lenses are known to be excellent lenses and I concur. To get both, plus the expensive and fantastic hoods, and cases, and a second lens cap for the 75/1.8 for use when the hood is in place, all for the price of a 75/1.8 alone ... what a deal!

Great lens
After a week with this lens, I can tell that it is not just a great portrait lens but can also be a good option for landscape, depending on the space you have to use it. Absolute sharpness. For the price, it is just awesome. I am very impressed and happy with it.

Portraits Faces Close-ups
If Portraits, Faces, & Close-ups gets you shooting, then get this lens. Sharp. Good Bokeh. Fast Focus. Excellent Perspective. Working with this focal length helps you to keep subjects Close, and Closer, making them more detailed and interesting to your audience.

Best Lens in My Inspire 1 Kit
Unlike you might think, this lens image is quite stable in flight. We can now shoot sports events from a height that keeps the drone sounds out of the ground mikes pick up range and still see the athletes/performers as individuals and not ants. Wise investment.

fantastic - sharp
a must have lens - very sharp - very nice Bokeh - very light - maybe not the best looking lens but optics super good - as it is small build quality is fine - there is no IS so one would be better of using on a Olympus with builtin body IS or the Panasonic GX7

Great little lens
I am moving from a Canon 5DII to the micro 4/3 setup because of an injury. The micro 4/3 is great and so is this lens. Great fininsh, good tight and precission fit with the camera body OMD. Looking forward to using it during the Christmas portrait season.

sharp, cheap, quick focus, what else could you want?
My favorite and most used lens on my Olympus OMD em5 mark ii. Sharp as a tack and just works great. Made me love m43 for the ease and joy of the system. Highly recommend. Just be sure to test it for decentering because fast primes can be spotty this way.

Best 4/3 lens own
This lens is incredibly sharp, easy to use and lightweight. Although its know for portraits, I've used it for landscapes when I need a tighter field of view. Excellent bokeh too. This is a no brainer, must have lens for anyone using Olympus bodies.

Excellent lens
I have been really pleased with the olympus m4t lenses. I have most all of what they make and I love them all. Very sharp image, easy control over depth of field. Lenses are very well built, light, and incredibly durable. Definitely worth the $

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.

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.

A baby with talent
Till I got this little light-weight baby, I was using the regular kit lens for my party photos. This lens is awesome, in fact so awesome, that a die-hard Canonian friend of mine wants to get a micro-four thirds body just so he can use it!!
