F.Zuiko 38mm f1.8 Lens Review

z.fuiko 38mm f1.8 lens

The F.Zuiko 38mm f1.8 was the first manual focus lens I ever bought, and it is something of a classic. Versatile, not too expensive and with good image quality, it’s an investment I’m glad I made.

This review talks about the history of the lens and its native camera, the Olympus Pen F; it describes how it is to use in the real world, and features a gallery of example shots.

I love using mine, and thought it was a very good lens to start shooting manual focus with due to it being wider than the common 50mm lenses. If you’ve been wondering whether to take the step into manual focus lens shooting or have had your eye on an F.Zuiko 38mm f1.8 yourself, come and see why I think so highly of mine.

Why Use Vintage Camera Lenses?

I love shooting with vintage camera lenses so much I made this whole website about the pictures I take with them as I travel around. But what is it about them that makes them so special?

For me, it’s a combination of a few things, as I explain in this post. I didn’t ever really plan to get into vintage lens shooting. It was a matter of circumstance, but I’m truly glad it happened the way it did.

Should you try shooting with some vintage camera lenses yourself? I really think so. Come read and find out why.
