Very nice indeed!
Minotal seems to have been making only great lenses and this is no exception. Sharp even wide open and IMO not typical "Japanese" bokeh.
Congrats on your new portrait lens! |

Beautiful lens and very handy .I use it on X-700 .Small,light fast (more than other ,anyway).I would not post some here because your topic referes at 45/2 on GF1.The problem with the m4/3 is that all lenses doubles their focal length .In this case , a very good normal focal becomes a 90/2 good portrait lens OK!

Not so, it is still a 45mm lens, the crop factor only limits the field of view. It is like cropping out the centre of a picture taken on a full frame camera.
These pic were shot in jpeg & you see the typical blue colour cast I get with Minolta lenses. This is supposed to be my wife's camera & she only shoots in auto. I switched it to aperture priority forgetting the camera was set to jpeg.

Well...Obviously, bokeh is a matter of taste  (and of course, some rokkors are bokeh's king)

Yes, that's the same thing practically speaking.Of course , that the flocal length of the lens remains the same.
Maybe it's more accurate to say that the angle of wiew is like that of a 90mm lens on FF.

I remember when, in 1980, I bought my XG-9, the normal more cheap was the 2/45, it's not MC and 5 elements lens.
If I'm not wrong, the 2/45 was the cheapest lens in all the MD lenses line.
And what good it is !!!

And a nice answer to the pancake mood (Though it does not have the current destiny of the Zuiko 40mm)
