The OM System 90mm Macro Lens provides an all-new, greater focal length to use on micro four-thirds sensor and lens mount cameras than was previously available. What does this mean for underwater photographers, and what makes it cool? Watch our video interview and read the review to see why this might just be the most exciting new underwater macro lens!
Olympus is now OM System. OM System and Olympus products are fully compatible with each other.
More Working Distance
Get more space between you and your subjects. The OM System 90mm Macro Lens allows for greater working distance from the subject to minimum focus distance of the lens compared to other macro optics. This means less chance to spook your subject and better odds of nailing the shot. It creates a working distance that is closer to that of a 90mm or 105mm macro lens on a full-frame sensor than what we have been used to with 60mm macro lenses on micro four-thirds sensors.2 to 1 Macro Magnification
Make teeny tiny subjects look larger than life. With a maximum 2 to 1 reproduction ratio, the OM System 90mm Macro Lens creates up to double life-size images for an insane amount of detail in your images. Most other macro lenses require an external diopter or wet-mount macro conversion lens to achieve this level of magnification, and those are significantly harder to focus through for any camera as opposed to just using the native lens. This lens gives you all the pros and none of the cons in that regard.Excellent Autofocus Performance
Lock in razor-sharp focus with super fast speed and accuracy. We tested the OM System 90mm Macro Lens on a number of cameras, including the OM System OM-1 and Olympus E-PL10. The results left us stoked with how fast, accurate, intelligent, and responsive the autofocus was. It snapped right to where we wanted it with minimal hunting or lag time.More Controls
Customize operation to your preferences with the limit switch and L-Fn button. It also has a limit switch to restrict the focal range to just the size of the subject that you want to shoot for optimal speed and performance within that range. The customizable L-Fn button allows you to toggle between auto and manual focus to easily switch on the fly underwater (with an underwater port that supports this control).Who Is This Lens For?
This is the ultimate macro lens for micro four-thirds camera users. It allows the shooter to create up to 2 to 1 macro magnification for greater than life-size levels of detail without the need to focus through a challenging-to-use diopter. The speed and performance are great and will hold up to even the most demanding photographers. The operation and functions allow for all the control we could ever ask for from a lens. This is a must-buy for the macro junkie with a micro four-thirds camera.TECH SPECS:
