Product details

Thanks to the fast aperture, this powerful model is especially recommended for outstanding portrait shots with attractive background blur and vibrant contrasts. However, this lens is also well-equipped for video recordings with its extremely fast autofocus. Olympus has housed the technology in a compact body that features a discreet metallic exterior. Together with the interchangeable decorative rings, which match the various PEN cameras, this combination is truly eye-catching.
