Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO Lens

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye PRO lens from Olympus features an impressive 180 angle of view combined with a rapid maximum aperture. Designed for the Micro Four Thirds system, it provides a 16mm equivalent focal length that enables the creation of distinctive perspectives and artistic distortions. Its advanced optical configuration incorporates a range of aspherical, low dispersion, and high refractive index elements to mitigate various aberrations, ensuring exceptional sharpness and clarity. Furthermore, a ZERO lens coating has been applied to enhance contrast in challenging lighting situations. This fisheye lens is also equipped with a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system that operates swiftly and silently, along with a weather-resistant design suitable for use in adverse weather conditions.

• Ultra-wide fisheye lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, covers the full area of the rectangular image sensor, and provides a 16mm equivalent focal length.
• Fisheye design renders a 180 angle of view to produce a distinct visual appeal characterized by dramatic distortion and a creative depiction of space.
• Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult and low-light conditions.
• The lens construction integrates one aspherical element, three Super ED (extra-low dispersion) elements, two extra-low dispersion elements, one Super HR (high refractive index) element, and two HR elements into its design to minimize aberrations, distortion, and color fringing while also contributing to overall image sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity.
• A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
• Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
• Dust, splash, and freezeproof construction ensures this lens’ performance in inclement conditions and harsh environments.
• Minimum focusing distance of 4.7″ pairs with a 0.4x equivalent maximum magnification for photographing close-up subjects with an exaggerated perspective.
