Olympus 45mm F/1.8 MFT Zuiko – Part II

Some snaps.

In Part I I took a look at the ergonomics of this MFT lens and also linked to my RAW lens correction profile for use with Panasonic bodies.

Here are a few snaps from a first spin with the lens on my Panasonic GX7 body. Most were taken in Carmel, CA. All were processed with my lens correction profile applied and with LR5’s Sharpness slider at ’60’:

Apertures varied from f/1.8 through f/5.6. The last image had the sun in the frame partly behind a branch. There are no flare spots. For a lens so compact the performance is excellent. Not quite as natively sharp as the 17mm Olympus MFT f/1.8 but perfect for a traveling, very light outfit.
