Review: Near perfect lens for a bargain price - I have Olympus's 25mm f1.8 prime too, which is more expensive, but I think this 45mm version is sharper. Its also just as neatly built, compact and performs just as well in terms of fast and accurate focusing. The 45mm length (90mm in 35mm terms of course) is useful for more than you'd think. Perfect for portraits, it's also great for giving a different perspective on landscapes and cityscapes. I've used it at classic car shows and although it's more tricky to get shots in confined spaces, it's worth the effort to get that slight telephoto look with the extra isolation (i.e. shallower depth of field) you get because the lens is a bit longer. Sharpness is the outstanding feature of this lens though. You notice it from the first shot you take. It makes you feel like a pro. As does the lovely rendering of out of focus backgrounds and a special 'quality' about the photos it takes that's hard to define. Contrast and colour are so good that you'll barely need to adjust your photos in Photoshop or the like. It's hard to take a duff shot with this lens. The only slight downside is that you don't get a lens hood or carrying pouch with the lens but you can pick them up very cheaply if you need them. The bottom line is that this is a near perfect and therefore essential lens for a bargain price. And it's my favourite Olympus lens so far (I also have the 17 f1.8 and the 25 f1.8).
Review: The Best Things In Small Packages - To describe this lens as diminutive is to make a serious understatement - it's tiny. If you're accustomed to "conventional" sized SLR lenses, you may find yourself unwrapping this lens for the first time, wondering how anything this small can possibly render good quality images. Then you'll fit it to your camera, and if you have anything half decent, prepare to be impressed... This lens is small, light and flawless. With my Panasonic DMC-GX1 the auto-focus speed simply trounces my Canon EOS 7D and any of my L-Series Lenses [and yes, I did side-by-side comparisons]. It's 90mm effective focal length and f1.8 aperture means that it's excellent with portraiture work, but don't stop there. Walkabout street shooting, flora and fauna, indoors and out, this is an epic little lens. What really surprised me, however, is just how sharp it can be. Obviously, at f1.8 you're going to get softness in your images the moment you move away from the focal plane... but stop down and you will be rewarded with stunningly crisp shots that are just so easy to achieve. I was originally apprehensive about making this purchase - as I've suggested above, I've been a Canon DSLR user since 2004 and currently have a full set of L-Series zoom lenses. I really wasn't sure whether I would take to a prime (fixed focal length) lens at all. Not only did I take to it, I think I prefer it. Yes, there are obviously compromises to be made in terms of flexibility - you may find yourself walking backwards and forwards to frame your subject from time to time. But here's the thing: partnered with a quality Micro-Four-Thirds camera (I use the DMC-GX1), in full "auto" mode this will return clearer, sharper images than a Canon EOS 7D with 16-35mm, 24-70mm or 70-200mm f2.8L Lenses. It's focus is lightning fast [just a tad more noisy than other M43 lenses] but it's precise and good to work with. Excellent tone and contrast, and whilst you will get trace optical distortions, they are minimal. Fitted to my DMC-GX1, this lens and camera combination weighs less than my 24-70mm f2.8L, and takes nicer pictures. What's not to like?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beauty and function combined
*by J***Y on 11 October 2014*

Ordered this 45mm prime lens in response to favourable reviews here and also rather disappointing quality kit zoom lenses supplied with my recently purchased Lumix GX7. Firstly, out of the box what strikes you first is the size. This lens is really tiny, especially when you consider it's F1.8 maximum aperture and it is also very light. When the box arrived, I could not believe that it was heavy enough to contain the lens and thought it was the skylight filter that I had ordered at the same time but was delivered separately. It is also exquisitely made and a thing of real beauty, quality materials and construction and beautiful optics. The fit to my GX7 was tight and snug with not a hint of lateral rocking (more than can be said for the Lumix kit zooms, one of which has already been returned due to a build quality / body fit issue). A pondered long and hard before choosing between my GX7 and an OMD - I have always been a Olympus and Zuiko fan and had a sizeable 35mm kit based on OM1ns and Zuiko primes. I settled for the GX7 and whilst it is a fabulous camera, I now have a twinge of regret that I didn't pick the OMD because the quality of this lens far exceeds Lumix equivalents (although I have also purchased a Lumix 20mm F1.7 prime which is much, much better than the zooms). Update - my Lumix kit zoom was replaced ny Panasonic under warranty and the new lens is fine). In use, the lens is super quick, almost silent and optically superb, working very well with the GX7. Focussing is crisp and rapid and images are rendered sharp right to the edges. Bokeh is lush and even and as a portrait lens, this will take some beating. Overall a superb lens and at a very reasonable price. I don't even mind buying a hood and pouch at this price frankly. Will be moving towards Zuiko prime rather than Lumix for future investments in glass.
