Features

The 45mm - The Perfect Entry into Portraits.
The 45mm has a wide f1.8 aperture and extremely high performance optical design optimised for razor sharp images when used wide open with superbly smooth defocus characteristics. The sophisticated metallic-style finish and MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism that enables fast and quiet auto-focusing adds to the overall excellence in design of this lens.

High Performance Optics With Fast Silent Focusing
The 45mm utilizes two Extra High Refractive Index (E-HR) elements ensuring that optical clarity is maintained throughout the aperture range. A circular aperture diaphragm means that out of focus areas are smoothly blurred. A perfect compliment to this outstanding portrait lens.

Beautiful background defocusing at your fingertips.
This fast lens provides excellent image capture and beautiful large-circular background defocusing effects. Packaged in an amazingly compact and lightweight form, this lens makes it easy and fun to capture images where your crystal clear subject appears to float above their surroundings. Such artistic imagery is not possible with a standard zoom lens.

Turn an everyday scene into an unforgettable moment.

Designed for high quality feel
The basic toned texture of the metal lends a premium feel to the design, whilst remaining compact and lightweight for the ultimate in portability. Shooting with this lens provides great satisfaction. The decoration ring adds to the lens's stylish design.

MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism provides quiet, fast autofocusing
This AF (autofocus) system developed by Olympus is quick, smooth, quiet, and highly precise. You can easily enjoy shooting a movie with beautifully defocused backgrounds.
