Product Description

Olympus 45mm F1.2 ED M.Zuiko PRO Lens

The Olympus 45mm F1.2 ED M.Zuiko Lens is a brilliant choice for professionals. With its ultra-wide f1.2 aperture you have control over your creativity whether it is day or night. The entire design of this lens has your vision in mind, add more depth to your portraits with Feathered Bokeh and capture the emotion on your subject's face thanks to the close focusing distance of 50cm. Ideal for portraiture, this lens is built for pro-level use.

This lens offers a beautiful feathered bokeh that gives a smoother impression in unfocused sections. The optical design gives more attention to your subject, bringing them forward with more depth and sharpness.

The background tree has some duplicate lines and giving the photo a busy impression.

Olympus 45mm M.Zuiko PRO Lens at F1.2:

The bokeh of the background tree is smooth and adding depth in the picture.

Impressive Optical Performance

Olympus has incorporated an ultra-high precision aberration measurement instrument to ensure beautiful feathered bokeh. The optical design directs light beams passing on the outside edges to form an image in the foreground. As spherical aberrations move towards the outside edge, the lens gradually tilts in order to keep the aberrations in frame to create that desired smooth bokeh effect.

Close-focusing Distance of 50cm

With an excellent minimum focus distance of 50cm and shooting magnification of 0.2x. You can emphasise more detail in your portrait shots whilst creating that smooth background bokeh.


Excellent Optical Design

Olympus have constructed the optical design of the 45mm with 3 cemented ED lenses to correct unfocused colour bleed as well as colour bleeding at the screen periphery – common problems with large diameter lenses. As well as an aspherical lens placed near the aperture and 4 HR lenses to reduce aberration. The placement of the lenses ensures that you can achieve a feathered bokeh and clever depiction of point even at the widest aperture setting.

Olympus 45mm F1.2 ED M.Zuiko PRO Lens Overview:

Fast, Precise Autofocus and Eye Priority AF

Olympus have incorporated a MSC mechanism and stepping motor to drive fast, precise and near silent AF – highest speed of 0.2 seconds. They have also ensured that On-chip Phase Detection AF has no light flux limitations which makes high-precision focusing with all-cross AF possible. When using Eye Priority AF on the OM-D-E-M1 Mark II, you can capture portraits that are focused on the subject's eyes for clearer focus around the face.

Durability

Travel with confidence with the Olympus 45mm lens as it has been constructed to withstand thorough professional use. The robust design is ready to fight the elements as hermetic sealing has been placed across the entire lens to protect it from dust and water splashes as well as making it freezeproof. Even in sub-zero temperatures this lens will continue to perform as it has been made freezeproof.

Very impressed with this lens on my OM-1. Quick to focus, even in very low light, and sharp even wide open. Results compare very well to my experience of a Canon 85 f1.4 L lens on my Canon 5DSR, which is saying something! f1.2 on micro 4/3 gives a similar depth of focus to f2.5 on full frame, so extremely soft backgrounds are not as possible with the OM combo as with the Canon. On the other hand I take most studio portraits at f5.6 - 8 on full frame to get the whole face in focus. Now I can use f2.8 - 4 and either require much less powerful flash or rely on natural or LED lighting.

Fantastic lens. Super sharp, ideal focal length for portraits. It feels very similar size wise to my 12-40 marginally smaller excluding hood.
Same external finish as expected for the price tag. Speedy delivery, Harrisons kept me up to date with the status of stock/delivery. Overall very satisfied with my purchase many thanks.
