One of my favourite focal lengths, especially for street photography and environmental portraits is 50mm and I felt that the Olympus m4/3 lens lineup was missing this. The DOF with M4/3 is fine - use a longer lens, get closer, shoot wide open - same excellent results.

to your kit is a great idea if you’re interested in taking beautiful images of your family and friends, or even your food when you’re out to eat! As it allows for clear hand-held shooting even in low-light conditions, you can simply leave your tripod at home.In fact the only time I remember seeing this kind of contrast level was when I was shooting with the Olympus M. The lens barrel is constructed from high quality plastics, with a glossy silver or black finish and the bayonet is metal. This "high standard" lens makes up in sharpness and low/distortion/CA for the tiny amount it lacks in speed. I had to laugh about your remarks about shallow DOF: the forum DOF equivalence police is constantly whining about it.

I did do a comparison with this lens against the Panasonic 25mm last week, and in that article, I have 100% unaltered crops straight from RAW conversion with no manipulation. feels to be constructed from polycarbonate plastic, in either a smooth matte black or a matte silver finish, with a metal lens mount. All lenses (not just Olympus) will suffer chromatic aberration to some degree, and Olympus lenses always have very minimal problem. HD Digital Frame is a great way to put your portfolio on display and a great way to surface forgotten memories. aperture gives you full control of depth of field and outstanding low-light photography, further accentuated by Olympus’ proprietary in-body image stabilisation technology which counteracts camera shake for sharp images shot hand-held at long shutter speeds.a perfect fit for “snap shot” photography, as you can easily take images as you see them without thinking about the composition of the photograph. You may not know it by this term, which comes from the Japanese word for “blur” or “haze,” but you’ve no doubt admired photos where the subject is in focus while the background is seriously blurred. would be a definite improvement over what you now have, and a good walkaround lens if you don't mind the single focal length.

I have not used the Pana 25mm extensively enough to make any comments, hence I do want to do a comparison. On the other hand, I also explored shooting with various aperture opening, stopping down to gain maximum depth of field. The size and weight of the OM-D system and these silent features open up a whole new world of shooting possibilities!

I also throw it in the bag when I have my big Pro zooms set with me…but might want something smaller or faster for shots. Apart from the obvious difference – the focal length – , this lens is very similar (image quality, build quality, size and weight). lens bares Olympus' "MSC" (Movie and Still Compatible) designation meaning the electronic "High-speed Imager AF" system is nearly silent to help avoid picking up focusing noise in videos. The images appear more convincing and real, similar to what we can see with a single eye vision (hence it is close to what our eyes see shooting through the traditional viewfinder when you can see through the viewfinder with just one eye).
