OM SYSTEM Olympus V311040BU000 M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm F1.8 Lens, for Micro Four Thirds Cameras (Black)

NIENTE DA DIRE OTTIMO OBIETTIVO

there is absolutely no doubt about the fact this is amazing glass for your m43 camera - whatever you frame will look great. focus is instant on the OMD EM5. sharpness is amazing - perhaps to the point where it is even too much for portraits without any mild postprocessing - not everybody likes every pore, wrinkle and fair exposed like that :) the 1.8 aperture means it performs great in low lighting, and that you can get absolutely immense depth-of-field effect out of it, in fact close up at 1.8 it gets to the point where it becomes a compromise to decide which part of a face to get into exact focus (yes it should be the eyes, but then it's like "which one"?). let's also note the "bouquet" is beautiful for the out-of-focus elements in such compositions. construction is very solid. this is a heavy, all metal lens. should you for some reason want or need to focus manually (i've never had to with this lens), the focus-by-wire manual ring is smooth and allow for extremely accurate focus. absolutely amazing lens - but also be aware this is a specialized lens. the full frame equivalent 150mm makes it a semi-tele prime lens. the minimum focal distance is 2.8ft. that is a somewhat specialized in-between: sublime as a portrait lens if you have the distance (which will probably not be the case in confined indoor places). so this is a lens that always depends on you having the right distance to achieve the desired composition, and if you don't you are out of luck. and you will not be at the right distance more often than with other lenses. i love having this lens, but also want to point out i don't use it nearly as often as other lenses. as always, it depends on your shooting style. it's definitely a should-have lens for m43 enthusiasts, but i'd personally get it *after* getting the Panny 25 1.4, 100-300, 45 1.8 first. but that is just for my personal use. make no mistake: this lens is the stuff of legend, kind of like the original Oly 50:2.0 for 43. olympus' recent policy of selling lens hoods separately at ridiculous prices is bothersome. a lens this price should come with a fitting plastic hood, come on. *then* sell the high-end metal hood separately, Olympus (and good luck to you trying).

It is tack sharp and very fast focusing. Love it the minute I fired the first shot!

Very happy with the lense. Useful for public events

Amazing lens for portraits and local wildlife
