Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm F1.8

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm F1.8 lens is a fast telephoto lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It produces extremely sharp images, and the f/1.8 aperture makes it possible to blur the background behind your subject.

Very sharp. Smooth, creamy bokeh.

Pricey. Doesn't balance well on small Micro Four Thirds cameras. Hood not included.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 75mm f/1.8

Olympus pulls out all the stops to make a beautiful 75mm lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It's a premium price, but it delivers premium results.

Excellent sharpness. Beautiful, smooth bokeh. Quiet autofocusing.

No lens hood provided.

The Olympus 75mm f/1.8 is undoubtedly a premium lens for the Micro Four Thirds format, but it's worth the money for a terrific piece of optical engineering.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 75 mm f/1.8 ED

The Olympus Micro 4/3 system was launched in June 2009. Along with the first camera we were also presented with the first fixed-focus lens of that system, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17 mm f/2.8. At that moment I hoped that, after a short period of...

compact metal casing, with very good build quality ; sensational image quality in the frame centre ; very good image quality on the edge of the frame ; brilliantly corrected chromatic aberration ; low spherical aberration ; slight distortion ; well...

very modest standard accessory kit ; work against bright light could have been better

Excellent Lens

Having now used this lens I can now appreciate how good it really is. I have read so many good reviews of this lens but it blew me away when I first used it on my Olympus E-M1.Excellent build quality and even better image quality.
