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

I think you’re saying that the slowest handheld shutter speed you’d usually use with any lens is the ‘reciprocal’ of the lens’ focal length . It’s hard to argue with the flexibility of a zoom, especially if you’re used to shooting with zooms.

Expectedly, the 75mm manual focus ring feels poor when rotated and spins far too easily for ideal control. lens may not be good enough for macro shooting, or have high magnification, but a simple close up shot like this can be achieved. The OM-D is putting out amazing stuff and the conversation around it’s virtues as a quality tool are pointless – period! After playing with the 12-40mm for a month, I’ve found myself habitually looking for the manual focus clutch on the 75mm.

So 50mm was standard (what you see with your own eyes), 28mm – or now 24mm – is wide, and 200mm is long.

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. Normally, I would stay away from talking about a lens cap, but this lens cap actually disappoints me. There was this three dimensional depth to the images, and I know I am sounding vague and do not actually make much sense, but if you do see what I see, please let me know! Also if you want to shoot in low light without a flash it is nice if high ISO output quality is good.The only thing you lose shooting this over an APS- or full frame is some shallow depth of field effects with lenses. Despite Olympus’ claims of the 75mm being a lightweight lens, it isn’t a lightweight lens in relation to other Micro 4/3 options. 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.

It is indeed sad about the lens hood, I guess they have learned from their mistake and all the newer lenses now (25mm, 40-150mm, etc) all come with lens hood. The focal length of the 75mm pushed me back from the budding romance developing in front of us, but the autofocus was so far improved over the Panasonic 20mm that I was able to capture that romance instead of being a sole witness. I would like to ask for your samples from the OM-D and 5DIII that tell me I am 🙂 I will state again with 100% reality…the only difference is depth of field and slight high ISO performance when compared to the better APS-C and FF cameras. But with all of the plastic bootles around nowadays it should not be too difficult to find a bottle that fits.

With the latest Nikon cameras you should get slightly more detail, but you can’t have Olympus colors! I was also considering the Fuji X-E1, but would be sacrificing the weather-sealing, ergonomics, IS, and lens options of the OM system. Jack I nearly bought the X1 Pro but ended up skipping it and straight to the x100 for that very reason. It can be too long, but, actually get used to using it for street photography in certain situations.

Further, this technology keeps the autofocus system completely quiet — perfect for those moments when silence is necessary, like in videography. High quality prime portrait lens for use with Micro Four Thirds bodies such as the Olympus PEN E-P5 and E-PL5 camera models.
