Olympus 45mm f/1.8 ED M.Zuiko Digital review by wjl
As good as they get - definitely one of the must-have-lenses for µ43rds. Just bought a second one for myself, because our first one almost never leaves my wife's camera. Yes, they are that good.

- lens hood is extra
- and expensive as well

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm 1:1.8
The Olympus 45mm f1.8 is a short telephoto lens designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras including Panasonic Lumix G, Olympus PEN and Olympus OM-D models. Mounted on a Micro Four Thirds body it delivers an effective focal length of 90mm, making it a classic portrait lens, while the maximum aperture of...
Pros:
- Superb image quality
- Sharp right into the corners at f4, f1.8 focal ratio ideal for shallow depth of field (relative to MFT lenses), Great value for money, Incredibly small and light, No compatibility issues to report on Panasonic or Olympus bodies
Cons:
- Modest closest focusing distance of 0.5m means it's no macro lens
- 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

Pros:

- Almost scary sharp if the subject has, say, rough skin
- Amazingly small size and light in weight
Cons:
- Not weather-protected
- Silver color

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Review
The stand-out feature of Olympus 45mm prime lens is its fast maximum aperture. Although there is no need for the bright viewfinder image that f/1.8 offers (because electronic viewfinders compensate for the lens aperture very well) it is important in providing a narrow depth-of-field that can be used...
