 New Olympus PEN lenses : Besides the three new Olympus Pen cameras announced today, Olympus also introduced two new compact M.Zuiko lenses designed specifically for the new Micro Four Thirds PEN cameras. The new Olympus PEN lenses include; M.ZUIKO Digital ED 12mm 1:2.0 (24mm) wide-angle lens and the Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital 45mm 1:1.8 (90mm) portrait lens. Both Olympus PEN lenses benefit from the advanced Image Stabilisation built into the Olympus PEN camera bodies. With their fast apertures, the latest Olympus PEN lenses are ideal for shooting in low light situations and generating impressive background blur.

Olympus PEN lenses
Their premium casing, superb optical performance and compact, lightweight design makes both Olympus PEN lenses a perfect match for your Olympus PEN camera. Olympus PEN delivers SLR-quality imaging from easy-to-use system cameras that are small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. The new Olympus PEN portrait lens will be available from September 2011, but the wide-angle PEN lens will already be in the retail shops in early July 2011.
Olympus PEN 45mm portrait lens
The design of the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm 1:1.8 portrait lens is tailored to match the striking, premium look of the three new Olympus PEN cameras. Despite the high-grade, metal-like finish it is remarkably affordable, especially considering the fantastic quality of the photos it generates. Thanks to the fast, large aperture and first-class optical engineering, users can create beautifully lit, striking portraits with vibrant features and the sort of background blurring that would make a professional proud.
Olympus PEN wide-ange lens
The Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm 1:2.0 wide-angle lens comes with a sturdy all-metal casing and is ideal for capturing high-quality pictures or videos of broad subjects such as landscapes, especially in low-light conditions. The new Olympus PEN lens is perfect for generating professional-looking effects like background blurring. Together with the PEN’s compact dimensions, the fast aperture allows users to confidently and inconspicuously shoot movies or stills in situations where a flash or tripod would not be appropriate, as in a church or museum. The very low f-number makes it easy to achieve the sort of intentional blurring that makes an image worth posting or hanging up at home.
Best Olympus PEN lens for Street Photography
The ‘Street Photography’ is also the best Olympus PEN lens for shooting spontaneous snaps - courtesy of built-in depth of field and distance indicators that show the distance at which objects are in focus, allowing the user focus instantly without having to look at the Olympus camera display. The indicators come into play in Manual mode, which the user activates by pulling back the focus ring. In addition to lowlight and snapshot situations, the Street Photography lens from Olympus performs superbly in bright light, thanks to an enhanced multi-layer lens coating that halves the effects of ghosting and flaring compared to conventional coatings.
