Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital 25mm f/1.8 Review

The Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital 25mm f/1.8 is a very small and light standard prime lens that focuses quickly and precisely and delivers sharp image quality across the frame, even at the maximum f/1.8 aperture. Chromatic aberrations and vignetting at f1/8...

Olympus 25mm f/1.8 M.Zuiko Digital Review

The Olympus 25mm ƒ/1.8 M.Zuiko Digital is another excellent member of Olympus' fast prime lens family for their Micro Four Thirds cameras. The build quality feels excellent, even with a polycarbonate lens barrel (it does have a metal mount, however).

Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 review

The Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.8 is a tiny little lens that punches well above its weight.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 25 mm f/1.8

The Olympus company has been enlarging its offer of Micro 4/3 lenses with impressive consequence. Although their line-up still lacks really fast models like f/1.4 aperture or better, the Premium series of high quality f/1.8-2.0 “primes” certainly...

small, very handy and, at the same time, very solid casing ; very good image quality in the frame centre ; good image quality on the edge of the frame ; slight longitudinal chromatic aberration ; good correction of lateral chromatic aberration ;...

noticeable vignetting ; significant level of astigmatism up to f/4.0 aperture included

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 25mm f/1.8

A fast M4/3 prime lens with a focal length equivalent to 50mm in 35mm format.

We tested the review lens on two camera bodies, the OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M10, which were effectively indistinguishable for both the regular Imatest tests and normal shooting. Autofocusing was as fast as each camera supports and generally very quiet,...

Fantastic lens & great service from Wex

I'm new to micro-four-thirds, having decided to swap from my much loved full frame (and stupidly heavy) Nikon kit. Really impressed with this lens (using it on an Olympus OM-D E-M1). Also super speedy service from Wex - after procrastinating until...

Lovely little prime lens!

I purchased this lens for my Olympus OMD EM-10 Mark 2 as a replacement for the kit lens that came with the camera and I was blown away by the quality and sharpness the lens produced. It's small and very lightweight which is a big plus for me. Another...
