Try this on the PEN

ByDocHollidayon November 12, 2010

Verified Purchase

Yes, I own the E-P2, Olympus PEN camera, upon which I placed this lens. The many reviewers of this lens speak clearly why you should consider this lens for your DSLR cameras. I add my review for those who may be wondering about using the lens on a PEN, or similar micro 4/3 camera.

Be warned, the clarity of this lens is breathtaking. The PEN will hunt, and seek for a time or two, then takes a picture you will be proud to own.

The one drawback with this lens is that on the micro 4/3 PEN, it acts like a 100mm lens. Your picture will look like you took it with a telephoto lens, which in some sense, you did.

But, that said, my pictures of stain glass in cathedrals, documents in museums, castles, or anything framed within my viewfinder, turn out with clarity and detail.

The lens switches on the camera, and off, exactly like a SLR camera. Nicely, the adapter adds distance between the lens, and the camera' sensor.
I mention this as some reviews worry about switching lens on a micro 4/3 because the sensor is so close to the lens threads. No problem on my end. In fact, I like having the ability of changing to a lens that I think will cover the bulk of the scenes that I'll experience during my trek.

But enough said, this lens is one of my favorites. It works extremely well on the PEN.

Just Buy It!

ByDavid Perezon August 5, 2009

Verified Purchase

I assume if you are reading this review that you are considering this Olympus 50mm f2.0 Telephoto Macro ED lens for your E-series camera. The best advice that I can offer is: "Go ahead and buy it". You will not regret buying this lens.

I don't wish to add a bunch of techno nerdy comments except to say that many reviewers of this lens just chime in with the previous reviewers and give lots of opinions about things that don't really matter to the majority of us. Let me give you my honest and simple opinion of this lens.

* It is extremely well made. It is solidly built and it focuses smoothly, quickly and quietly on my Olympus E-3 body.

* The images that I have shot with this lens are razor sharp ...... almost too sharp (if there is such a thing) This lens lets in a lot of light at f2.0 and 100iso. You may consider stopping down the aperture or lowering the exposure level for well lit scenes.

* The depth-of-field is pretty narrow below f8.0 settings. However you will be very happy with the soft bokeh that this lens delivers at the wider f-stop settings.

* The macro shots are really more like close-ups at 50mm. It's best to use a macro extension tube such as an Olympus EX-25 Extension Tube for true macro work. You will be very happy with the quick, bright and sharp macro shots that this lens delivers with the extension tube.

It's a real bargain at the Amazon.com price. There is no better portrait/macro lens available for your Olympus E-series camera unless you wish to pay around $2,100.00 for the Olympus Zuiko 35-100 f.2.0 zoom lens. The only significant gain that you will get from the higher priced lens is a lighter wallet and the ability to zoom in a little tighter.

Cheers!

My new favorite lens!

ByLisa Pattersonon May 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have to agree with other reviewers: It is really the most perfect lens. I can't add anything more than what the other positive reviewers have stated. I have an Olympus E-410 and used to use my 12-60mm 1:2.8-4 as my versatile all the time lens. But I have to say that this is now my favorite lens. I don't find the focus too slow. It's a good, solid lens, well made and holds up great. I will try to add some photos as well.

A Good Lens, Could've been the Greatest with SWD

ByC. R. Kulashekharon December 3, 2010

Verified Purchase

I have been using the Zuiko 50mm for the past few months now. Would like to state some of its advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages:

1) Sharp & Bright images. I think it may be the sharpest in High Grade lenses from Olympus.
2) Fast focus (a tad slower, if you are using the live view mode)
3) Produces good colors
4) Bokeh (out of focus area) is smooth. You may get this from other manufacturers, but only from lenses which cost 2 to 3 times more than this.
5) Splash and dust proof.
6) Allows you to attach a filter.
7) Is light in weight. Doesn't hurt the hands while holding the camera, with this lens mounted, for hours together.
8) As an overall package, this lens gives you more bangs for the bucks you pay.

Disadvantages:

1) Probably, the biggest disadvantage is the noisy focus. Makes a lot of noise and moves back and forth a lot. SWD with an additional $100 - $150 to the price would have made this lens the greatest in High Grade series from Olympus.
2) Probably eats up a lot of battery in this process.

The disadvantages section is just nitpicking. You won't get a better lens than this, in the same price range, from any other manufacturer. Amazon does not allow me to give it, but I give it a very strong 4.5 out of 5.
