This is a great portrait lens, for the money it,s superb. Hired the Pro lens for a shoot in a poorly lit dancehall. Had to use the little FM flash that comes with the EM1 Mk2, the results were great, converted to B/W in LR gave me the 70,s look I was after. (It was a northern soul night).

This is another great lens and value for money, as everyone says its a camera for your bag to pull out when you need it. Thanks for watching.

This was my first MFT Prime lens. I've used it for some London street photography and you get some interesting compositions. On the video side it's great for filming gigs.

[@MyPhotoJourney]

Thanks a lot for watching and for your comment. My first MFT prime too, and so far I've relied on zooms. I needed it for the wedding, and it was great. I have considered doing steet with it,and I bet you got some good shots. Cheers 👍

It’s on my camera now and it’s taken some great shots at Lake Garda. This lens is such a great performer.

Thanks a lot for watching and for taking the time to comment, that's awesome and I'm sure you have got some super sharp shots with the lens! 👍

I own this lens and it's a fantastic lens indeed. I should really use it more often than I do.

[@MyPhotoJourney]

Snap, me too, it's so good but the focal length doesn't always suit my type of photography. Thanks a lot for watching and for leaving a comment 👍👍

[@dandanu2526]

It's definitely worth the 150 euros I paid for it. It's a fantastic lens and I'm more than satisfied with what it can do.

[@MyPhotoJourney]

Fab, I agree, great price. Thanks a lot for watching 👍

@@MyPhotoJourney Thank you!

[@ericrjennings]

Get that 75mm f/1.8 or Sigma 56mm f/1.4 and you’ll see how sharp those are. The 1.2 primes are really good too.

[@MyPhotoJourney]

Great idea, and I might get 25mm next. Thanks a lot for watching and for your comment 👍

Hi, I'm visiting Lincolnshire soon, bringing along my 45, 25 and 12mm lenses. Apart from Lincoln, which I am visiting, can you recommend any other towns and villages in the area for an interesting photo shoot please.

[@MyPhotoJourney]

Thanks a lot for watching and for your question. The wolds are grqsr, Walesby, Nettleton. The coast is worth a look, Skegness, Cleethorpes etc. Grantham, Belton House, Woolsthorpe Manor, Gainsborough Old Hall, Himber Bridge and estuary. There are lots of nice places too many to mention in a comment. I hope you enjoy your visit. Lincoln is the jewel of course 👍👍
