I'm VERY happy with this lens
I use two systems, a Nikon D800 with a good selection of lenses and my Oly EM-1, also with a nice selection of lenses and this 45mm 1.8, in terms of intended use, compares to my Nikkor 85mm 1.4.
Pros:
- Compact Size
- Fast aperture
- Lightweight
- Nice Bokeh
- Sharp Focus
Cons:
- Not A Pro Series Lens
- Not weather resistant

indispensible part of micro 4/3 outfit
this is a fabulous portrait/venue lens: sharp, fast, and light. The lighter weight of the lens allows for good balancing on small micro 4/3 bodies, and personally I don't believe a metal casing would add value.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Review
The stand-out feature of Olympus 45mm prime lens is its fast maximum aperture.

Pros:

- Lens hood not supplied as standard - it's an optional extra
- Lack of optical stabilisation may be an issue for Panasonic owners
- No weather-sealing

- and expensive as well
