Hello all,
Eddie approach me to see if I am interested to do a review on this particular lens from Olympus together with the OM-D (E-M5) camera.
For this purpose of this review, I will concentrate on reviewing the lens on my application as portrait photographer using both natural light and studio flash and see how this lens works.
I won't go into detail in terms of the detail technicality of the lens, the MTF chart, or the 100% crop for sharpness.
What I am interested to find out is the useability of the lens as far as children portraiture goes....
Anyway, as the name goes, it is a 75mm f1.8 lens but with the 2x multiplier, it is practically a 150mm f1.8 lens. In practice, if it compare to the 150mm on FF, this lens has a characteristic of 150mm f4 type of lens as far as the depth of field goes. So at f1.8, you won't find razor thin depth of field. So it is quite easy to get the correct focusing.
It uses 58mm filter...
Here is some comparison shot with similar "focal length" with different manufacturer...
Oly 75mm f1.8 (58mm), Minolta Rokkor MD 85mm f1.7(55mm), Leica 90 f2 Summicron (55mm)
More physical size
Here is when it is mounted on body.
I will come back with more photos taken using this lens....
So Stay tune...
Regards,
Hart
