As part of the Four Thirds system, Olympus lenses effectively double equivalent focal lengths, so this lens offers a similar angle of view as a 100mm lens on the E-system cameras. One of advantages of this is that lenses are much smaller than their 35mm or APS-C compatible equivalents.
Small; fast aperture; sharp and low fringing
No ratio scale; no focus limiter
If you are a Olympus user , there is NO reason not to own this lens in fact this lens along with a few others make the 4/3 system a very attractive option One can only wish that other stellar single focal lengths be made available for the Olympus system
Outstanding optical quality well built weather seals
No focus limiter on a macro lens which causes the lens to hunt through the whole focusing range at times
It's enough to say this lens is belong to Super High Quality grade from Olympus. The lens is very sharp and sometimes too sharp. hard to PP because of the sharpness so you need to add more sharpness if you resized the photo or just crop 100% and you'll be fine.
For a while there, I was purchasing a bunch of different lenses for my Olympus.
Super sharp Macro and portrait images
None at all
Superb image quality even wide open - sharp, distortion-free with no lateral CA; Compact and lightweight compared to similar lenses for larger formats; Fast maximum aperture for a macro lens;
Unrefined autofocus motor and no focus range limiter switch; Susceptible to flare with bright light sources in the frame; Bokeh chromatic aberration at wider apertures; No macro ratio scale;
This Four Thirds lens has 'macro' on the side but only a 1:2 magnification ratio. It relies on the 2x crop factor to bring objects up to size. Despite this, the 50mm lens feels more like a 100mm on Olympus bodies, giving it an ideal focal length for macro tasks.
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
