The M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 lens from Olympus is distinguished by its telephoto configuration and a bright maximum aperture, functioning as a 150mm equivalent prime lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The combination of its focal length, which offers significant reach and visual compression, along with the f/1.8 maximum aperture, provides extensive control over depth of field, making it particularly suitable for portrait photography. The lens's optical construction features three extra-low dispersion elements and two high refractive index elements, effectively minimizing various aberrations and color fringing, resulting in sharp, clear, and color-accurate images. Furthermore, a ZERO coating has been applied to individual lens elements to mitigate surface reflections and flare, enhancing contrast and color fidelity across diverse lighting scenarios. Additionally, the lens is equipped with a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system, ensuring rapid, quiet, and precise focusing performance for both video and photographic endeavors.
- Mid-length telephoto prime is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 150mm equivalent focal length.
- Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture helps to achieve shallow depth of field and selective focusing effects, and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.
- Three extra-low dispersion elements help control chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy. Two high refractive index elements are also featured, and help to suppress spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and resolution.
- A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
- Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
