Re: 45mm (90mm in full frame) is a speciality focal length

Agreed. However, this thread is about sharpness.

Maybe I am more tolerant of this than I perhaps should be because I do it myself.

Hey baby, I'm lucky if I get one in ten...perhaps worse.

Oh, I thought the thread was going to be about astounding images. Or something astounding.

I don't see anything especially sharp, but maybe they are out of focus, the one taken at 1/100 sec probably has camera shake or shutter shock. If you left IBIS turned on, possibly all of them have the IBIS blurring, which the E-PM2 does.

Some of the images just have too much depth to look good with such a shallow DOF.

There's probably nothing wrong with the lens.

I doubt that there’s anything wrong with the lens per se. I’ve seen some pretty good results from it and I’m certain that the OP will get a lot of satisfaction from his/hers as time goes on.

It’s the least favoured Olympus lens that I own or have owned. Perhaps 90mm is not my focal length, but I simply never warmed to it like so many others clearly have.

I hardly ever use mine. This is a good lens for formal portraits (like a head-and-shoulders shot), but for general purpose photography, it's too long. I prefer the 25mm for general portrait shots.

Ok then, someone better alert the media.
