Hello folks,

Just got a super cheap Oly E-PM2 and 45 1.8 combo. (God bless eBay!) I have to say that I love it... so small, light - and image quality out of this world. Still haven't clicked any people with this lens yet... but I can imagine the results will be awesome. I really wonder if any other m4/3 lens can match this kind of IQ...75 1.8 I am assuming; but that thing is a monster in every way.

Hope you liked the pics...please do leave a comment...and share your experiences with the 45 1.8!

Sincerely

Abhishek

If by IQ you mean bookeh then 40-150 at long end will be close. Also PL45 will be similar, it's just one stop.

If by IQ you mean sharpness then  there us plenty of sharp lens like PL25, PL45, 12-40, 12-25, 20, 7-14 - pleanty of u4/3 give you very good sharpness. Actually 45mm 1.8 is only moderately sharp wide open.
