Olympus 50mm f1.8 F.Zuiko Auto-S Lens

The Olympus 50mm f/1.8 F.Zuiko Auto-S is a manual focus standard prime lens built for Olympus’s OM-mount SLR system. At 50mm with an f/1.8 maximum aperture, it delivers a natural field of view well suited to everyday photography, portraiture, and street work, with useful light gathering capability for lower light conditions and sufficient depth of field control for background separation when desired. The F.Zuiko designation refers to the optical formula, with the F indicating a six-element construction, and the Auto-S designation confirming an automatic aperture mechanism that stops down to the set aperture only at the moment of exposure. The Zuiko optical series developed a strong reputation for image quality during the OM-system era, and the 50mm f/1.8 represents a compact and capable standard prime within the OM lens lineup. Compatible with Olympus OM-mount film SLR bodies, and adaptable to mirrorless and other camera systems via third-party OM-mount adapters.
