Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f1.8 (Silver) Lens for Olympus and Panasonic Micro 4/3 Cameras

I like this lens a lot, but one thing I have started to notice is some weird reflections bouncing back into the lens. It took me a while to replicate the problem on purpose but it basically boiled down to having a UV filter on when shooting at an angle where the light skims off the side of the lens. Normally this might produce a flare, but in this instance it was a reflection. Still trying to sort through if it was just a cheap UV filter issue, in which case I am buying a better one to test that theory out. If that turns out to be a problem as well I will definitely be very careful about using UV filters on this lens in the future. The clarity volume of light that this lets in is great and I love the shallow depth of field I can get.

Phenomenal little lens. Sits in the palm of your hands. Very well built, solid materials. Focus speed is incredibly fast. Tac sharp and the colors are brilliant. Silver color matches my silver OMD-EM1 flawlessly. Two small downfalls about this lens that warranted the 4 stars. No lens hood. Fairly standard piece of plastic that anyone who would use a dslr would use. Come on now. The suggested aftermarket one that comes up for purchase, I did get, left a 2 star review, and returned. Dont fall for that trap! Second ding is minimum focus distance. This isnt an idea lens for close up. Typical distance would be just shy of 2 feet. Granted, the lens does clearly state 1.64ft which is about right. If they got that focus distance in to .75ft this lens would be a 5 star perfect. With that being said, this will be a daily street photography style lens. Its perfect for daily carry and will not disappoint in the least. Oly for life!

It works just fine on my DJI Inspire 2, which is the only use I have for it.
