Listing says only 8% off, but this lens generally retails for between $850-$900 at most places.
One of the sharpest lens in the m43 lineup at a great price.
CamelCamelCamel.
one of the sharpest lens in m43. wish 1.2 lens also comes with great discount
i am so tempted…
Damn good price! Would be tempted if I still had my MFT gear
Got one, thanks OP! This price is a steal. Never seen one go under $550, even used.
Tried to buy it and kept ending up at $845
Great deal when it lasted, seems back up to normal price for me now.
Bugger, between adding to cart and trying to checkout it went back to $845
Price increased to $8xx
Not sure if i'm happy or sad that i was pondering over it and missing it, and looking at all the lenses i have already
Had one at one point - great lens probably the standout for M43. You do need working distance at 150mm equivalent, but it's sharp
Thanks Bought 1
did anyone get this?
Ordered, why?
Yep, I got in when it showed '2 items remaining'.
It seemed to go VERY quickly, wondered if it was a mirage….
They're was like 5 in stock. And 350 interested clicks.
If you miss it, buy the Sigma 56mm, comparable or better in IQ but FL is more manageable for portraits.
I second that. 56mm 1.4 is slightly sharper wide open, and is more versatile
I don't need another lens.
I don't need another lens.
I don't need another lens.
…
Phew…sold out.
Oh no I missed it while I was having a coffee break …
Congrats to anyone that got one.
Loveeeee this lens. Paid circa $900 back in the day and have used it..twice in 3 years. Such a beautiful lens but 150mm effective focal length is a little restrictive.
Beautiful bokeh
my fav Olympus lens , razor sharp and great bokeh , apparently manufactured by sigma?
Hmmm…does it have Made In Japan on it? That would be a sign that maybe Sigma does it…otherwise, if China, then Olympus factory.
I have seen the design comparison. I'm curious as to whether this is just a standard lens design, or Olympus licensed it from Sigma (if Sigma doesn't make them).
I have this lens. Made in Japan. IMO best lens from Olympus, but little restrictive.
The build quality of this lens outclasses most Oly / Pana lenses.
I've got the original of this. Fantastic lens, one of my favourites in the M4/3 world.
Any recommendations of a lens for lumix m34? I have the two kit lens that comes with Lumix G7. And they fine but I want something cheap and cheerful for overhead food photos. Even fixed lens would be fine, I can raise and lower it. Something a bit more cheaper and cheerful than $500.
Try an Olympus 45mm f/1.8 or Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.7.
Too tight.
How about the Olympus 25mm f1.8? Don’t get the Panasonic 25mm f1.7. It’s not sharp enough, and won’t be much better than your kit lens. My 14-45mm is actually sharper. Panasonic 20mm f.17 is sharp and does really nice rendering. Or the Olympus 17mm f1.8.
The silver one looks nice. Looks good for video too. My Lumix G7 came with the 14-42mm and 45-150mm kit lenses.
Phew sold out.
As much as the heart would jump at another lens, I knew logically I'd have no use for such a distinct focal length. I'm sure in the right hands a skilled photographer could make unique 150mm portraits or otherwise subjecture.
This is a great steal, nice!
Very very cheap
