Product details

Thanks to its fast aperture, this powerful model is particularly suitable for outstanding portraits with attractive background blur and vivid contrasts. This lens with its extremely fast autofocus is also
ideal for video recording. Olympus has accommodated the technology in a compact housing with a discreet, metallic exterior. Together with the interchangeable decorative rings - matching the colour of the different PEN cameras - this combination is a real eye-catcher.

Ob in schwarz oder auch silber, das Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45 mm 1:1.8 stellt eine gute Wahl auf der Suche nach einem Objektiv mit fester Brennweite dar. Dies liegt vor allem an sehr überzeugenden Leistungen hinsichtlich der Bildqualität. So kann das Objektiv mit einer sehr guten Auflösung, mit sehr guter Verzeichnung und ebenso sehr geringem Randschärfeabfall aufwarten...
