Olympus 25mm f/1.8 M.Zuiko Digital review by romeo
After using Nikon (D300/D700) and Sony (NEX-7/A7r) now I use only Olympus. Two body OM-D E-M5, one OM-D E-M5 with 25mm F1.8 and another OM-D E-M5 with 75mm F1.8. No regrets for the past,for me small is beautiful. Image quality of the Olympus with its lens is sharp, beautiful with gorgeous color.
Pros:
- Light - Small - Fast - Sharp - Lens Hood
Cons:
- After using Nikon (D300/D700) and Sony (NEX-7/A7r) now I use only Olympus

great lens, great price, great pictures!!
this is a great lens!!! I think its better than the 14~42mm kit lens I have for my E~510....got a $15 adapter and both have worked just fine for me....I rather prefer having this lens on versus the 14~42 digital lens...

Great all around lens
I have only used these lenses for two long weekends, and took hundreds of shots. City shots, nature, night shots, portraits. I hesitated buying them a lot given I have the 12-35mm Panasonic Lumix already. It was worth it.

Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f1.8 Review (Review Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f1.8)
The Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f1.8 is an excellent standard-angle lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras, and an affordable alternative to Panasonic's lens.
Pros:
- Wide aperture., Impeccably sharp., Minimal distortion., Compact., Includes lens hood.
Cons:
- Lacks focus clutch., Not weather sealed.

Overall one cannot ask for a better "normal", 50mm-equivalent-FOV lens for m4/3s at this price. If one doesn't need or want f/1.4 or even f/0.95, then this is a no-brainer to buy. I used the Panny 20/1.7 before but find I don't "see" photographically with a 40mm-equivalency.
Pros:
- Very solid and well-made
- Mounts to camera body (Oly E-PL1) tightly and securely
- Over time never any wobble whatsoever
- Very sharp, high-resolution even wide open at f/1.8
- Bokeh is smooth and pleasant
- Included lens hood
- Focuses fast and sure even on this "older" camera body
Cons:
- A bit flimsy lens hood mount but hardly use it so no big deal
- Thus the 4 instead of 5 for build quality
- (I'd rate it 4.5 but that's not possible above.

An All-Around Great Lense
The M.Zuiko 25mm f1.8 is an all-around great lens and should be the first one you purchase when you get the OM-D M-1. The clarity, sharpness and speed of focusing are superb and it is super light sensitive.

Crisp
Easy to use, prime lense for micro four thirds cameras. Auto focus, with a manual focal ring. 25mm, though that converts to 50mm on a 35mm format camera. Perfect for portrait photography, bringing a dramatic quality to your shot when using the manual focus ring to create bokeh.

Oh so fine
This was my Christmas present to me. I love this lens. So far I've taken it to family get-togethers and museums. The most challenging was the Charles River Museum of Industry. Very busy backgrounds and a very wide range of lighting conditions let me take the lens through its paces.

A perfect match
Fantastic lens and a perfect match, aesthetically and in terms of results for my Pen F camera. I recently used this combination in a low-light situation and was very impressed with the results. The lens produced sharp and detailed images.
