I clicked on “here” so many times my mouse broke.
Sorry. Fixed the link now.
I just bought it for the same price last week from a camera store in NY brand new. It’s worth that price…it’s worth it. So far, I’m happy. Is it the same as my 135mm 1.8…not exactly. But in many cases it is! Better yet, my subject is actually in focus at 1.8. Great lens.
I have this lens and I’m always impressed with the overall look and sharpness of it. I try to shoot it wide open all o the time, and my subjects face is still in focus and the background just blurs beautifully.
For anyone considering the Olympus 75mm f/1.8 lens: RUN don’t walk to hit the buy button.
This lens single handedly shuts up the FF bokeh blowhards and trolls who claim M43 can’t do narrow DoF. It is sharp as a razor, renders beautiful portraits, and focuses fast.
While “big” by typical M43 prime standards, this lens still feels positively tiny and lightweight by FF standards.
It is far and away my favorite lens for the platform and worth every penny, even at the higher price. Portrait shooters: You can get three of these and a lot more bokeh for less than the cost of the Leica-sonic 1.2. You’ll just have to take a step or two back. 🙂
Or 10. 🙂
But yes, great lens for a fantastic price. 🙂
Yep. Being a bit further away from the portrayed person while using a fairly compact lens is amazing. I’d say for us portrait shooters this beautiful lens alone would justify using m43 gear.
I 100% agree. This is an incredible lens.
And its the sharpest MFT lens ever (don’t know if Nocticron bests it)……its really sharp, as much as the sharpest Canon L lens
Here we go again. A “special” price for a lot less than reputable vendors such as B&H sell it for.
What next? “Great Deals” from random storefronts on 5th Avenue i9n NYC?
I paid $800 for this lens “used” and it’s an slap-in-the-face to see it selling for so low. Can I have a rebate please?
You can pick it up used all day long for under 7 bills on ebay. You got hosed.
