Cons: - Olympus 45mm f/1,8 has smoother bokeh - Vulnerable to dust
Pros: - Light, good build quality, hood included - Fast and accurate focus - Very good sharpness across the frame - Nice colors - Good bokeh - Great close focusing feature
Summary: This was one of my favorite lenses in micro 4/3. It\'s light, fast, has very good sharpness across the frame and nice colors. Bokeh looks good, a bit less smooth than with the 45mm f/1,8 but not a big deal. The lens focuses down closer than the competition. It\'s not a true macro but it\'s definitely useful if you like taking close up of flowers or little objects. Thanks to this feature, it\'s very versatile and can serve for portraits, general use and close up/macro. The only thing I didn\'t like is that dust started to accumulate inside the optics very quickly. This happened to me 4 times with 3 different samples. On the other side, my 3 years old Olympus 45mm f/1,8 has immaculate glass. I tend to think Panasonic lenses are less sealed than Olympus ones...

Cons: none, not one
