Revision as of 03:58, 5 October 2006

With the introduction of the Olympus OM system, a new range of lenses was designed by Olympus. All the lenses can mount on all the bodies.

  • The Zuiko 500/8, Zuiko 600/6.5, Zuiko 1000/11, 24/3.5 Shift, 35/2.8 Shift and Auto Bellows can't be used on OM-101/OM-88.
  • The Zuiko 500/8, Zuiko 600/6.5, Zuiko 1000/11 and Auto Bellows can't be used on OM-707/OM-77.

The autofocus lenses for the OM-707 / OM-77 and OM-101 / OM-88 bodies, those lenses do not have a manual focusing ring and are useless on the other bodies.

The bayonet mount has a very large diameter, and all the lenses are very compact compared to other brands.

Here is a list of the lenses:

  • 8/2.8 Fisheye, round image
  • 16/3.5 Fisheye, full image
  • 18/3.5
  • 21/2, record of aperture at the time
  • 21/3.5
  • 24/2, record of aperture at the time
  • 24/2.8

These lenses have no manual focusing ring.

Here is a list of the manual zuiko lenses that never made/ marketed.
