What to add more about that optical marvel from the Olympus M4/3 line-up except its outstanding performance. Yes this a superior optic even if it is a specialize piece of glass. But using the Olympus 75mm may transform you in an addict of this focal lengt
It sometime arrive that a new product is becoming a fetish item right from the start and it was effectively the case for the beloved Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8, the "made in Japan" state of art optic for M4/3 format cameras.

A must have for MFT portrait photographers!
The MFT chart of this lens speaks for itself for the most part, but there's definitely much more to this lens then the chart. Because the focal length is slightly greater than the traditional 135mm, the angle of view maybe little narrower for those who are accustomed to the 135mm angle. However, this lens compensates for such difference. In my opinion, the lens is simply the best prime lens in the MFT system, along with Leica DG 42.5mm Nocticron.

Learn about the OLYMPUS M. Zuiko Digital 75MM F/1.8 - MICRO 4/3 - BLACK
Sometimes, you need a lens that will zoom—but indoors, the story’s a little different. Whether you’re taking studio shots, theatre pictures, or capturing indoor sports, you need a camera lens capable of producing quality and consistency with every portrait shot. That means a high-grade fast aperture, unique lens design, and the proper focal length to highlight your subjects while offering a soft background blur. In short, you’ll need the OLYMPUS M. Zuiko Digital 75mm F/1.8 - MICRO 4/3 – BLACK, compatible with the Micro Four Thirds System. This lens isn’t only fast, but it’s accurate, giving you the ability to pull it out for a stunning portrait at a moment’s notice.
- The largest aperture here, f/1.8, means that you’re capturing all the light you need, even if the lighting indoors isn’t always favorable. As any backyard astronomer will tell you, aperture is one of the most important variables that determines whether or not you’ll be able to take a clear, beautiful photograph of your subject. But it’s important even if you’re taking photos of a subject two feet away as opposed to stars that are light years away.
- A nine-blade aperture unit doesn’t hurt, either. It creates a natural, circular defocusing that gently blurs backgrounds, drawing your viewer’s eye exactly where you want it. This gives portrait and studio photographers exactly what they’re looking for: the ability to bring out their camera in both live and studio events to simply take a picture and let the lens do the heavy lifting. Of course, in order to achieve that kind of focusing, you’re going to need an autofocus that can deliver as well.
- And how about that autofocus? With the Olympus 75mm, you’ll receive an autofocus drive that offers quick, almost silent focusing. And with close focusing coming down to 29.5 inches, you’ll have plenty to focus on, handling portraits in close range and longer. The lens elements including Olympus’ ZERO (Zuiko Extra-Low Reflection Optical) coating technology offer their help in giving each photograph the crisp, clear look it deserves.
- Lens construction is a detail that can’t be overlooked for a portrait lens like the Olympus 75mm f/1.8, and luckily, Olympus isn’t skimping out here. In addition to the 9-blade aperture unit, you’ll find 10 individual lens elements in 9 groups, which includes a total of 3 ED lenses and 2 HR lenses. This will reduce the amount of aberration that comes through, giving your pictures a consistency over time that will reduce any editing or re-shooting that may be required. This is great whether you’re an amateur photographer or a seasoned professional.
- Accessories include a plastic lens cap, a lens rear cap, the instruction manual, and Olympus’ 1-year warranty, giving you the freedom of durability. But you likely won’t have to worry about that, considering the solid construction here and the sturdy 10.7-ounce weight.
