Olympus Zuiko 45mm f1.8 Lens Review After 9 Years 📸

Today I am doing a long term review of the Olympus 45mm f1.8 Micro Four Thirds lens after using it for almost 9 years. This little telephoto lens is one of the earlier Micro Four Thirds portrait lens, and although there are many alternatives available from Panasonic and the others, this lens is still one of the better choice if you need a small compact telephoto lens for portrait photography, product photography, a little bit of landscape, and even for street photography.
