E-Zuiko AUTO-T 135mm f/3.5 & Zuiko AUTO-T 135mm f/3.5
Other than the standard lenses, this is probably one of the best selling "next"
Zuiko lense. Although slightly slower in lense speed, Olympus design engineers has
created a medium telephoto lense with a telephoto ratio: 0.87 - that is even more
compact than the 135mm f/2.8. In fact, with a maximum diameter of only 60mm and measures
at 73mm in overall length without the lense hood extension - this is also one of
the most compact 135mm in the market. To assure superior Image quality, a unique
optical formula which comprises 5 elements rather than the normal 4 optical elements
were used. According to Olympus, the additional element when tested through MTF has
resulted in measurable Improvement in resolution and contrast. Same as with the 135mm
f/2 8. The lense features a built-in retractable lense hood. Besides, this version
of the Zuiko 135mm lense accepts any 49mm threaded filters.
