Characterized by its telephoto design and bright maximum aperture, the black 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.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8 Reviews
Impressive!
Despite reviews declaring how sharp this lens is, I admit I had my doubts. I was specially concerned that the M43 sensor, even with my OM-1, would not be able to tell much difference between this prime and Olympus Pro zooms. To my surprise and delight, the 75mm f/1.8 delivers superb sharpness and color contrast at all apertures, though I tend to use it mostly between f/2.2~4.0. It has the added advantage of making ISO80 a usable sensitivity, thereby gaining a smidge of noise control. By the way, the elephant is a small model just a few inched tall, a foot or so from me in a store window. I missed the focus point through my own carelessness, the lens didn't.
SHARP
An amazing lens.
Love it
My name is Michael and recent got the chance to joy the Len 75mm f/1.8 lenses and see the difference what everybody raving about? The pictures come out clearer color sharpen and the back ground faded milky make it look like focusing on this person portrait shot look like professional shot make whole lot easier to do. This just the beginning of my passion of camera and still learning about other lenses as well.
Stunning!
I snapped some shots in my yard at f1.8 with this lens mounted on a GH5. Here is a shot of my irises. I never knew just how intricately and delicately detailed these flowers really are. The amazing design of the Iris shines through this lens. Notice the colors, the details, the bug sitting on the focal point of the shot, and the shallow depth of field that brings our eyes to the beauty of this flower with all its glory. Go ahead, zoom into the picture and enjoy a wonder of God's creation.
Perfect for candid portraiture
If you want to photograph people acting naturally, there is no better lens. The bokeh is eprfect, autofocus instant, weight and size just right, and image quality unbeatable. I wanted this lens for years and finally got it on sale last year, and for once at least, all the expectations were spot on. It is my favorite lens in the system.
Fantastic portraiture lens.
I love the sharpness, colors, and portability this lens uses. Bokeh is gorgeous with nice, round edges to background lighting. Focus mechanism is a bit noisy but nothing of concern.
IN LOVE
This was my first time purchasing a lens so expensive but WOW is it worth it. This is a super sharp lens, and the colors and bokeh are beautiful. I was also very impressed with the packaging and shipping times. B&H made dang sure this lens arrived safely and shipping only took a few days. I'll upload a few photos I've taken with this lens so far!
Amazing Lens
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.
