Pros:
|
Oustanding image quality, colors rendition, aperture, build quality
|
|
Cons:
|
No macro, price
|
|
I own this lens since a few weeks. I really love it, because it fits perfectly my habits : I like telephotos a lot. With my Canon Rebel T2i (that I sold last week because my E-PL5 does the job perfectly), my favourite lens was the 100 m F2,8 L IS macro, and I really think that the 75 mm is as good as it.
Even for familly pictures, I try to keep this lens on my E-PL5 : I just go back a few feet to have everybody in field !
It's a wonderful lens, and a pleasure to use.

Pros:
|
good construction,
|
|
Cons:
|
only silver, no hood, very pricey
|
|
without lens hood and only ugly silver
Optics are very good - but for me it's not a keeper - I like the 1,8/45 mm by far more!

Build quality, auto focus, sharpness, contrast

None, it's perfect

Not much to say, this lens is perfect. Excellent image quality, excellent build quality. Besides a loan to finance it, there's nothing more you can wish for.

Pros:
|
Sharpness, bokeh, build quality, autofocus
|
|
Cons:
|
none of importance, but would have been even more useful id semi macro
|
|
This is one of the best lenses I ever owned and surely the sharpest wide open.
I used to shoot Nikon and my favorite was the Nikkor 105/2 DC, which has an even softer bokeh and is softer (though one of the sharpest Nikkors) making it a bit easier for portraits, but this lens is much better technically.
So sharp even wide open that you probably want to soften the skin on many people if their skin is not perfect.
It is a joy with a portrait lens sharp wide open coupled with the reliable AF and in camera vibrance reduction making it very useful for available light shots.

Pros:
|
Simply amazing sharpness and bokeh
|
|
Cons:
|
Loose some contrast when strong light hits the lens, but not worse as many others
|
|
This lens is so sharp - the only lens with the same sharpness I have shot with is the Nikon 200mm f/2.0.VR
And the bokeh is also very fine.
If you have the money do not think twice, you will not regret it.
If sharpness means something it is "hard" now to use other lenses with weaker sharpness 
I will use it for portraits and street-shooting, but also for detailed landscapes - even it is 75/150mm (FF)it is sometimes fine to use a small tele for parts of landscapes, and this lens will be amazing for this.
The price I payed is included the hood and special cap for this hood, and the overall price is OK for such a fine lens, and if you want it to be perfect I think you need the hood, because it can loose some contrast in strong light, but not worse than so many others (but there are some lenses, that are better in this special area)
I can only agree with the former reviewer when writing:
"I'm still incredibly excited to have it"
....and I can not wait to shoot with it again (just got it yesterday)

Pros:
|
Easily the sharpest lens I've used, Fast and Quiet Focus, Great build quality, Smooth Focus ring for Video, Great close-focus distance considering the 150MM equivalent focus distance
|
|
Cons:
|
Possibly the Price, Basic Hood should have been included.
|
|
Background:
I have the Canon 5D MK II, 35MM 1.4L, 85MM F1.2L, 135MM F2L. I've owned fantastic versions of the 200MM F2.8L, 70-200 EF-S F2.8L II, 24-70, 16-35 . . . I'm a Canon guy. I'm not an elitist but I can say, I'm a fan of good glass.
When I bought the OM-D, I got really excited when this lens was announced. When it finally came in, I was extremely excited and after using it, I'm still incredibly excited to have it.
Here is the actual review part: (i'll make this really short)
- Easily the highest quality optic I've used in the longest time. (even compared to my 85MM F1.2 or 135MM F2)
- Impossibly sharp and insane past F4,. (Thats all I'm going to say about that)
- Great Bokeh and Color, Great Contrast, Decent Flare resistance.
Regarding the Price and Lack of hood:
- I'm not taking away points from the lens because it doesn't come with a hood. If I could score the 'value for money' on this lens it would score 15/10. (5 above 10/10) Its worth it.
- Its more expensive than most other lenses, but it performs way better. Think of the last 135MM lens you bought brand new . . . How much did you spend? This costs less, and delivers way way more. Don't expect filet-mignon for hamburger prices.
