Zamechalny lens for shooting of portraits and video. In a set there were additional accessories of a blend and the UV filter. I am happy with this purchase!

This lens is super sharp and has great bokeh to help create the creamy soft backgrounds that cause your subject to stand out.

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.

I use this for any shots where I need subject isolation, such as portraits.This lens has a nice build, is reasonably compact and light. But the best thing is the optical quality right from f1.8 across the frame.The only thing that is not quite up to that standard is the AF speed.

Consistent Output; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh; Optical quality; Strong Construction

Slow Focus

I love this lens. When I bought this lens the 12-40mm 2.8 Pro was not announced yet. I think that one would have been more versatile but I'm still very happy with this lens. Wait on it to go down to 799 on Newegg. Thats the best price you'll be able to pick it up for anywhere.

High quality build; fantastic bokeh; outstanding images; smaller then you think

No lens hood

You want an awesome portrait lens Look no further! This glass is it! It has a nice heft and the pictures come out great!

The beautifully crafted, all-metal Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 is a strong performer in the optical department, in fact it is one of the sharpest lenses we have ever tested. It's surprisingly sharp wide open at f/1.8, reaching absolutely outstanding levels in the f/2.8-f/8 range.

"I bought this lens a few days ago to use with my Panasonic Lumix G5 camera (Panasonic and Olympus MFT cameras share the same lens mount). Having run it through a few paces, I am very pleased with the lens.

Olympus keeps hitting them out of the park! Whether you're talking about their super fast cameras like the OM-D E-M5 or their optically superior lineup of  lenses like the 17mm f/1.8 , Olympus can't seem to stray too far from our office conversations.

Great image quality; Solid construction; Little to no distortion and aberration

Cost; Can be heavy when used on smaller MFT cameras

The 75mm f/1.8 features a MSC ("Movie and Stills Compatible") AF drive offering a silent, fast and smooth AF. Typical for mirrorless systems the AF accuracy is very high (although this is more a camera rather than a lens aspect).
