Comment on Olympus 75mm F1.8 Lens Tests with RAWs by Gabrielle Motola

The bokeh on the 75mm is far more pronounced and luscious than the 45mm. I’m not sure about the elements in the lens and how they compare to the 45mm but I am certainly impressed with the 75mm.

Thanks for the great review. I’ve been interested in this lens for a while. I originally was planning on getting the 45mm f/1.8 lens for my OM-D. But now this 75mm lens comes along. Since you already have the 45mm, how would you rate quality of the bokeh between the two lenses? I’m guessing the bokeh on the 75mm is easier to obtain just because of the longer focal length.

Your test gives only a vague impression of the image quality of both camera’s. Even so, the image quality of the Olympus OM-D is really good. The Fuji images are somewhat soft and dreamy. Personally, that’s a look I don’t really like. I like an image with a little more bite but without getting too contrasty. I have tried both the Fuji and the Olympus and I after some none scientific tests I decided to keep the OM-D. I returned the Fuji. The OM-D produces punchier images with an amazing amount of detail. The autofocus systems of both camera’s are worlds apart. The Olympus easilly beats any member of the Fuji X family here. My hopes for the latest Fuji are not too high either. The Fuji has slightly less noise at higher ISO settings, but overall the difference is not enough. With the OM-D you get a faster more responsive camera and a whole lot more beautiful lenses to choose from. Of course the OM-D is a smaller lightweight system too. A no brainer really.

Thank you for this short ‘review’. This article really helped me choose between the two camera systems. I absolutely don’t like the look of the Fuji files and the autofocus is too slow for any kind of action. The OM-D files are stunning and I too see no reason to buy the larger and heavier Fuji system. Also, micro 4/3 has a lot more excellent lenses to choose from and the OM-D in particular is a nice modular system with the 2 stage grip. It’s more of a real camera system. So, no Fuji for me, but a spanking new OM-D. Thanks again!
