OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.2 PRO Lens

A very fast prime lens for M4/3 cameras, which provides an ideal focal length for portraiture and comes with weatherproof sealing.

Purchased from Wex as a used item - haven't really used it yet, just getting to know and understand its capabilities but even from the few shots I've taken its obviously incredibly sharp even wide open at F1.2. Subject isolation is magnificent and the bokeh is marvellous.

As a professional photographer who has been in the game since 1979, I have to say that this is the best portrait lens I've ever owned. For an Olympus PRO series lens, it is relatively lightweight and is also my general purpose Prime lens of choice. I cannot fault this lens; it's simply superb.

  Durable, Great Features, Great Picture Quality, Lightweight, Simple Controls

Great lens for portraiture, low light applications and where narrow depth of field is required. Robust construction, but light and compact for a lens of this class.

This lens is great for indoor sports and allows me to shoot at faster speeds to stop some of the action. I would strongly recommend this to friends.

This is my second Olympus f1.2 Pro lens and Im thoroughly impressed. So bright. Beautiful bokeh. So easy to isolate your subject with that shallow depth of field. Sharp end to end. Excellent build quality. Its fun to shoot. This along with the equally exceptional 17mm f1.2 is about all I need.

Just what i need for my style of portrait work. Some use a longer focal length, but I prefer to get up close, and use wide open to limit the depth-of-field most of the time. Sits quite nicely on the Em1Mkii with or without the battery grip.

While I own several pro lenses that duplicate this millimeter lens, they do not present the same characteristics associated with this gem of a lens. I went through mental anguish deciding whether to get the 1.8considerably less moneyor just stay with my 2.8 40-150 pro.

Sharpest Oly glass I have ever used in pro FT or MFT. Very fast and accurate focusing. My old E-M1 feels like a new camera again. Great go to lens for my portrait business.

Perhaps there's a review out there that includes some reservations about this lens. My real-world experience tells me it's simply excellent in every way. If you don't wince at the price, if the size is okay for you, if you want it, get it. Simple as that. Sharp wide open and beyond.

Great addition to M.Zuiko Pro series. I often use a variable ND filter with this lens in our bright Prescott, AZ sun in order to fully take advantage of the f/1.2 stop.
