Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75 mm F1.8 Lens, Fast Fixed Focal Length, Suitable for All MFT Cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN Models, Panasonic G Series), silver

Product Information

Zuiko Pro line that compete slightly with the 75mm and other manufacturers have released a few lenses in the same focal length range as well. Admittedly, we drive a small Honda Civic, so the distance from the lens to the mirror was fairly tight.

I love this lens and its wonderful rendering of colours and clearness of details, which make fotos nearly 3-dimensional. I’ll be missing the range between 90mm and 200mm which i like when I’m shooting my Canon 70-200mm 2. MFT and APS are much closer in size than either are to full frame, but this statement continues the myth that APS and FF are almost the same and that poor MFT is way behind. As I have mentioned in previous posts I am anxiously awaiting the new Fujifilm X-E1 (and look forward to your guest review on the camera next week) … but if Fuji doesn’t get raw support from Aperture and CS6, I will be switching to Olympus. Curious, there’s no fast 50 from Olympus, and no fast AF 35 from any of the manufacturers; that Schneider-Kruzenach 14/2 looks extremely interesting indeed.Give this to anyone who doesn’t know anything about photo gear and they’ll tell you it feels special. I’ve used and still use some Panasonic and Canon lenses/bodies but I’ve never taken it as a personal attack since I’ve had my frustrations as well. Those who claim the OM-D can not do what a DSLR does has never owned one, or maybe shot it with a kit zoom for a few minutes. Just when you think that Olympus could not release yet another winning lens they bombard us with a super fast portrait lens that is built to the same quality standard as their wonderful 12mm f/2 and 45 1. I have owned and tried many cameras but only a DSLR like the Canon 5DIII will get razor sharp shots with a 200mm or 300mm telephoto of kids playing soccer.

Spent two weeks there and although it rained almost every day at some point had a couple of days that I was blessed with blue skies and gorgeous clouds. The focus ring feels plasticky when compared to the remaining lens materials and it gives the impression of being poorly made.

lens, which many reviewers have praised and noted to have comparable sharpness to this Olympus 75mm F1.
