May 24, 2012 – Olympus annouces the M.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 lens for Micro 4/3rds mount. This mid-tele lens provides a fast aperture for low-light and portrait photography. The 35mm equivalent focal length of 150mm provides pleasing background blur and amazing sharpness. Curved aperture blades produce smooth bokeh for outstanding portraiture, fashion and sports photography. Premium multi-coating with 3 ED elements and 2 HR elements increase contrast and reduce ghosting and flare.

Fast focusing and quiet auto focus operation are provided by MSC lens drive technology. The build quality is truly pro-grade with all metal barrel construction and a precision manual focus ring. The Olympus 75mm f1.8 is compatible with all Micro Four Thirds mount cameras. A metal hood is available separately.

The Olympus 75mm 1.8 is expected to be released in late June to early July 2012. Retail price is expected to be $899 US Dollars, and $799 Euros.
