Olympus 45mm f/1.8 Zuiko Digital Micro Four Thirds Lens Review
Olympus 45mm f/1.8 Zuiko Lens Verdict
The low price may be a little misleading at first glance, as this lens is a very capable optic. It focuses quickly on the E-PM1 body used for testing and is capable of producing outstanding levels of sharpness.The light weight and good build quality are also assets. Those looking for a fast aperture prime lens for portraits, photography in low light, or for greater control over depth of field will not be disappointed.
