Characterized by its telephoto design and bright maximum aperture, the silver M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 from Olympus is a 150mm equivalent prime for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Coupled with the reach and visual compression of the focal length, the bright f/1.8 maximum aperture enables extensive control over depth of field to make this lens ideal for portraiture applications. Its optical design incorporates three extra-low dispersion elements and two high refractive index elements to reduce a variety of aberrations and color fringing for sharp, clear, and color accurate imagery. A ZERO coating has also been applied to individual elements to suppress surface reflections and flare for greater contrast and color fidelity in a variety of lighting conditions. Additionally, a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system is employed to deliver quick, quiet, and precise focusing performance to suit both video and photo applications.

More DetailsOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 Overview
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.

Still an Amazing lens

I had one 5-6 years ago, but had to sell it. Now I have it again, because I remember how good it is. SHARP, 1.8 for depth of field, and the best bokeh. I recommend this lens to anybody in the 4/3 community.

Amazing glass, great bokeh, graceful color fidelity, BUT needs an upgrade with better AF motor, mZuiko standard bayonet sun shade of PLASTIC not metal (to soften shock when placing down or door frames). A petal hood would be nice, not a photo useless pretty Leica style metal hood.

How does the "Movie and Still compatible " autofocus system build into the lens work with the camera's autofocus?
The MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism has been specially developed to enable fast, quiet autofocusing; it provides smooth focusing while ensuring low noise. The MSC mechanism would be compatible for use with the autofocus system inside mirrorless digital cameras that use the Micro Four Thirds lens mount.

question
Would this lens work well on a Black Magic Micro Studio camera for filming indoors in low light?
Being that the Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera 4K has a Micro 4/3 lens mount, this Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 lens can work on it.

question
Is the lens able to focus when in Continuous AF mode? Say for sports or moving subjects?
Lens will focus super fast if Your camera has a fast focus. Slow focus on camera will cause missing shoots.EPL, EPM series are not that fast. I am going to say Olympus OMD: top of the line , Panasonic GH4, GX8 are fast focusing cameras.

question

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 is metal and is also an optical quality unsurpassed

question
Will it work on a Panasonic GX7?
From what I can tell the GX7 uses micro four thirds lenses. Both Panasonic and Olympus do very well at sticking to the micro four thirds standard, meaning you can use either brand lens or either brand body. So yes, if the GX7 is a micro four thirds body, the Olympus 75mm will work quite nicely. As a reference I have an Olympus body and I use both Olympus and Panasonic lenses. Also this 75mm f/1.8 is of excellent build quality. You won't be disappointed.
