Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 25mm f/1.8 Reviews

Great MFT Prime

By Gary
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-07-03

This was my first lens after buying the Olympus E-M10 Mark IV and it is an excellent prime at the ideal 50mm effective focal length. Very bright and clear, great aperture for almost all lighting situations, good depth of field and bokeh when wanted, small and compact makes it consistent with the compact size of the camera. It has become my main lens.

Best for price

Wonderful for low light and great portraits. I also use on on my gx9 on the street for distance when needed on a hand strap with my Fuji x100v around my neck. The lens is mind blowing at 3.5 and above rivals my best lenses. Also, very stylish and very tiny and subtle. A great buy

Very sharp lens
