Product Description
With a 25mm focal length and 47 degree angle of view, this lens sits right between wide and telephoto designs, making it a great choice as an all-around lens for your photography. A fast f1.8 circular aperture delivers beautifully soft defocused backgrounds for impressive portraits or when subject emphasis is the desired photographic effect. An inner focusing mechanism assures fast and accurate auto-focusing, and because it is an MSC design, it offers nearly silent focusing operation – a great feature when shooting HD movies.

As a disclaimer, I am new to mirrorless camera / enthusiast-level photography but I have spent hundreds of hours researching cameras and lenses over the last 6 months. I finally settled on buying the Olympus O-MD E-M5 Mark II camera in black with the Olympus 14-42 EZ with the LC-37C lens cap and the Olympus 40-150mm. I also ended up buying this lens a month or so later.
After using this lens for about a month or so, here are my initial impressions:
Pros:
- Sharpness: This lens is sharp! Much sharper than the Olympus 14-42 EZ mentioned above. Even in completely bright light, the difference is notable, to the point where I use this lens as my walk around lens almost exclusively.
- Lightweight: Even though this lens is plastic, it feels solidly built and lightweight.
Cons:
- None that I can think of! With the recent price drop I think this lens is a great buy!
Qualities:
-Sharp wide open throughout most of the frame with both near and far targets. Overall sharper than the Panasonic Leica 25mm f/1.4 (which I will compare to on several points below) when you consider edge performance.
-Less color fringing than the Panasonic even when both are shot on a Panasonic body (I tested both on my GX7 as well as E-M1)
-Pleasing/smooth bokeh rendering
-Fast autofocus (AF), comparable to the Panasonic
-Good AF performance even in very low light
-Much closer minimum minimum focus distance than Panasonic
-Smaller and lighter than Panasonic (balances better on the smallest MFT bodies) - much smaller if you include the dedicated hoods (finally Olympus includes a hood)
-Has solid build, despite being plastic and light. The "decorative cap" is more snug, less inclined to fall off as compared to the Olympus 45mm lens
There are lots of samples and analysis to back all of this up at Mu-43.com
For me, the Olympus 25mm f/1.8 is a definite keeper. A no-brainer. However, I will also be keeping the Panasonic lens for it's extra 2/3 stop of speed, more shallow DOF capabilty, and unique rendering character. Both are wonderful choices.
- It's relatively small size is nice when you want to be discrete. Like when you're shooting on the street, farmers market, or a fair.
- The bokeh is plesant and soft.
- It comes with a lens hood.
- No complaints about this lens have come up for me.
