Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45 mm F1.8 Lens, Fast Fixed Focal Length, Suitable for All MFT Cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN Models, Panasonic G-Series), Silver

Product Information

The Olympus 45mm f1.8 is a surprisingly compact lens even for the Micro Four Thirds standard. Measuring 56mm in diameter, 46mm in length and weighing just 116g, it’s beaten only by pancake lenses on size and weight. Indeed it’s only 56mm at the rear end to support the standard Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Beyond the mount, the barrel tapers down to a narrower diameter for the rest of the lens. This thing really is tiny. I am Dewa from Bali. Need your help. is it all the micro lens attachment to the camera body are same? This lens mounted combined with the in-body image stabilization in the all of the Olympus and some of the Panasonic camera bodies can make for easy one-handed photography if needed. I found some traces of chromatic aberration at the fastest apertures in images with strong contrast like the picture below. It is present in both the JPG and Raw versions. However it is easily removable in Lightroom. DMC-G7, 1/4000, f/ 1.7, ISO 200 This is certainly a well made lens, but it isn’t designed for sub-freezing temperatures or rainstorms.

Using the spot meter of the E-P3 I metered off of the leaves where the sun was hitting. This will give you the best exposure for a scene like this. f/1.8 Small but mighty” is a phrase you’ve probably heard before, and it’s very much applicable to the Olympus 45mm f/1.8. LC-37B Lens Cap, Micro Four Thirds lens rear cap (LR-2), Decoration Ring (DR-40), Warranty Card, Operating InstructionsIn the past I never used lenses pouches with my larger lenses, but with these smaller rangefinder like lenses, I put all my lenses into pouches before they go into my bag. This is one disappointment I have with Olympus which Panasonic is one step ahead with even their Leica lenses. Hood and Pouch should be included in the price of this. That makes me remember the review I wrote for the Panasonic 20 1.7 a while ago where I put it up against the big monster Nikon D3s. The E-P2 and 20mm won that shootout but that was because I was shooting the D3s with the el-cheapo Nikon 50 1.8. Add that lens to a full frame camera like the D3s and you will get soft images and softer corners. These little cameras like the E-P3 and even the new TINY Panasonic GF3 will always give you pretty sharp corners and there are some fantastic strengths in this smaller sensor with that being one of them. The other strength and the most important one..is SIZE. I see it MORE AND MORE these days…people are dumping their DSLR’s for small cameras like the NEX system, or Micro 4/3 cameras. One reason why Nikon and Canon sales are DOWN this year and I predicted this over the last two years. Now I am not sitting here writing to you and telling you that this lens will beat a Leica lens or is the best lens in the world right now as I am writing this review in a Micro 4/3 state of mind, not a Leica state of mind. In the M4/3 world it really doesn’t get much better than this, if at all. If I had to note a flaw I would say that it should come with a lens hood and maybe it doesn’t have the best quality Bokeh ever (this is not Leica ro Zeiss here) but it’s damn good. Olympus makes the hood an option but does not include one, BOO. By the time Tony wrote this review, the F/1.2 PRO had not yet hit the market. But currently he is working on a comparison between the two lenses, so we hope to have some good news soon 🙂 There are no other functions on the body of this lens such as control buttons, manual focus clutch or a focal distance scale. It’s a very simple design.

Olympus 45mm f/1.8 Review | Sharp Portrait Lens - Shotkit

Can I use Pana 25 mm 1.8 on my mark 10 iii ? Will it have any issues regarding compatibility and image quality ? The lens includes optical stabilisation which will suit Panasonic cameras that doesn’t include on-sensor stabilisation best. The Power OIS of the Lumix 42.5mm is quite good. I found the limit to be around 1/5s hand-held which is quite good considering the medium telephoto focal length. DMC-G7, 1/5, f/ 4, ISO 200 DMC-G7, 1/5, f/ 2.8, ISO 400 Of course I couldn’t resist taking an additional set of comparison shots with the Nocticron 42.5mm f/1.2, currently the best portrait lens for Micro Four Thirds in terms of image quality. But the Nocticron is larger, heavier and more expensive (3 times the price of its little brother). The Leica designed lens also has a stronger build, comes with a metal lens hood and has a nice aperture ring that works on Panasonic bodies only. I have recently bought this lens and here is what i think, the Olympus 45mm 1.8 lens is amazing, this is my first lens so i don’t really have much to compare it to. The depth of the focus is pretty amazing. Used this lens at a wedding attached to an EPL3, results surprised me for what I believed was a basic/mid range camera. Would recommend to anyone who is after very good results on a budget

This is an interesting article and it seems to be a new format on DPR: a personal experience report, not the usual technical examination down to the last screw. Thanks for the report and for the sample pictures!
