Olympus Zuiko by Zerø Optik

In the realm of still photography, the Olympus OM lenses made their debut in 1972, and they stand out in a league of their own. What sets them apart is the remarkable consistency across various focal lengths, including the impressive 21mm, all boasting a wide f/2 aperture and full-frame coverage.

Optically speaking, Olympus OM lenses are renowned for their sharpness and minimal chromatic aberration. The multi-coated optics lend them a heightened contrast, yet they possess the captivating ability to produce substantial and captivating flares. The bokeh they create bears a distinctive texture, setting them apart from modern counterparts.

Each lens in the OM series is characterized by its compact, lightweight build from Zero Optik and the capability to focus at remarkably close distances, notably, the 50mm macro lense.

The Moviecam lenses ushered in a fascinating chapter in the adaptation of Olympus OM lenses for the cinematic realm. During the 1980s, Moviecam, a distinguished company in the world of film cameras, unveiled a compelling array of prime lenses. What makes this endeavor particularly noteworthy is that the majority of these lenses were masterfully repurposed iterations of Olympus OM lenses. This transformation serves as a testament not only to the enduring quality of these optics but also their remarkable adaptability across diverse creative domains.
