Hi,
I would like to show you a few photos I took of friend of mine Agnieszka taken with Olympus Zuko 50/1.8.
I bought this lens for OM10 body and it's splendid little lens. On photos below I used it on Canon 600d with addition of Yongnuo speedlite flash on tripod. The lens is sharp from wide-open, very well built, focusing is smooth. It handles sun very well and is so deliciously compact. It made me thinking why I didn't bought any Zuikos before  . It lacks, however, 'clicks' on 0.5EV aperture settings, so only 1EV changes are available with clicks, but I used to it.
Photos with PP in Lightroom (slight exposure correction, WB, VSCO Film presets, Crop and Sharpening).
Apertures between wide open f/1.8 to f/2.8 were used.

Cheers
Mateusz

It's a superb little lens, it's one that I first picked up with an Olympus OM1 kit about 3 years ago. I kinda knew that Olympus were good, but I was a Canon man for many years. Minolta's Rokkor's were the first revelation to me, but the Zuiko's were an equal one. It's easy to see why Olympus was so popular when they made a standard lens as good as this.
Lovely pictures as well, I like the first one the best.

Great lens and great portraits. I like the overall look of #4 the most. The others to me have too much colour, sharpness and hard contrast for a young woman portrait. But the pose in #1 is best. |

Thank you for comment, as for colour it was needed to be vivid, but I must agree I overdo with sharpness and contrast a bit .

It was lighted with external flash with quick diy diffuser out of some translucent foamy packing stuff  .

I got mine (50/1.8, not the girl ) a few years ago with OM10, a bunch of lenses and accessories for $100. It was the best buy ever! This lens is marvellous and looses nothing with Focal Reducer (many lenses do, unfortunately).
Great shots!

Agreed, excellent shots, my favorite is also #1! Congrats on your lens.
I just got one of these today with an OM-10 (along with a Zuiko 28/2. and stopped along the road to take a few shots with my A7. It makes a nice landscape lens as well, captures excellent detail at infinity. I too, am a convert to the quality of Olympus lenses, have 4 of them now and they are all outstanding.
