perspective lends itself beautifully to that type of shot
It s also a great lens for aerial shots
great performance and superb image quality

37mm filters are a pain to manage
8 is certainly not a macro lens
it is made of plastic and can feel a little bit cheap

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 - Pros & Cons

perspective lends itself beautifully to that type of shot
It s also a great lens for aerial shots
great performance and superb image quality
excellent optical performance
images pop with vibrant
rich colors and the overall effect is always
remarkably easy to find online in pretty good condition
it s still perfectly acceptable in most situations
incredibly fast and accurate to focus in good light
great
affordable portrait lens
Sharp wide open
extremely quick and accurate to focus and
the lens still feels very nice to the touch
unobtrusive and discreet photography
excellent AF motor also comes in handy
45mm is a very good lens
rapport between cost and performance is unbeatable
It is very sharp and has a very nice bokeh
optically
fast
small and light
Nice quick AF and incredibly light
The depth of the focus is pretty amazing
The auto focus is pretty darn fast and the colors are great too
Excellent for portraits and shooting people
useful
It has a rendering which is somehow nice and natural
It is really sharp and the images it produces are very nice
The lens works equally well for both stills and video
really excellent performance for sharpness
Focusing is fast
and very quiet

37mm filters are a pain to manage
8 is certainly not a macro lens
it is made of plastic and can feel a little bit cheap
focal length makes it less prone to flares or the effects of direct light
many portrait lenses for MFT right now
too small for serious shooting
No lens hood was included
The lens has only one control on it
only very slight softness across the frame
You have to pay extra for a lens hood
Olympus Lenses Lab tested Lens
Vignetting isn t always an unwanted property
37mm filter thread is rather on the small side
Vignetting is light falloff that occurs in the corners of an image
spending thousands of dollars on a lens is usually overkill
have a closer look at the lens
