    Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 45mm F1.8 (Black) Lens for Olympus and Panasonic Micro 4/3 Cameras

    • * One of the sharpest lenses for Micro Four
    • For those who really prefer prime lenses, this is must-have in the Micro 4/3 photographer's bag
    • At $400 as of November 2012, it isn't cheap, but it's one of the best lenses made for micro four-thirds.
    • Probably one of my favorites lenses now
    • Other highlights include being one of the sharpest and fastest focusing lenses on the Micro Four Third systems
    • In good light this thing focuses every bit as fast as more expensive lenses on my DSLR, and with incredible precision thanks to the µ4/3 CDAF system
    • So you can use much faster shutter speeds and lower ISO, making low light shooting much more viable (since µ4/3 high ISO performance is lacking, fast lenses like this are crucial to make up the difference).So, that's what it's for
    • One of the sharpest lenses in my bag.
    • In fact, for the price the 45/1.8 is simply a stunning optic and through many users' experience is comparing well with anything in its price class not to mention many more expensive lenses
    • Only available in silver colorDetailed Review:The Olympus 45mm is one of the best reviewed lenses for the Micro Four Third systems.
    • The contrast isn't as high as some lenses (like the Lumix 42.5 f/1.7), but that actually works well for portraits
    • In my humble opinion, this guy is the one of the sharpest lenses in the m4/3 shooter can have in his/her arsenal
    • At f/1.8, this is among the faster lenses for micro four-thirds photographers.
    • In good light this thing focuses every bit as fast as more expensive lenses on my DSLR, and with incredible precision thanks to the µ4/3 CDAF system
    • Lens mount is metal unlike cheaper kit lenses
    • This is one of the best bright prime lenses for the m43 format.
    • This is probably one of my favorite lenses, with the Leica 25mm f1.4, it is small, light, and has a nice bokeh.
    • One of the best value m43 lenses available.
    • One of the best portrait lenses around.
    • I like my other lenses and they are for sure much more versatile, but for the right subject, this lens is fantastic, especially when coupled with my EM5 ii hi-res mode
    • Actually, there are very few portrait lenses (85mm equivalent with aperture faster than f/2) for a cropped system - there are no Canon EF-S, Nikon DX, Sony APS-C
    • I own Canon 5DM3, 24-70 F/2.8 Version II ($2300 lens) and other great lenses.
