ZUIKO INTERCHANGEABLE LENS GROUP
One of many advantages of the single lens reflex
camera is the large variety of interchangeable lens-
es available. The Zuiko Interchangeable Lens
Group (designed and manufactured by Olympus)
comprises 33 lenses. Zuiko lenses have always en-
joyed a high reputation in photographic circles —
the most modern design technology and employ-
ment of newly developed optical glass have made
possible a new series of innovative, high perform-
ance lenses. These lenses have a host of special
features including new construction that compen-
sates for close focus aberrations, increased aper-
ture ratio in the wide angle lenses, and reduction
in telephoto lens size and weight. The OM Sys-
tem adopts 49mm filters for most lenses from
21mm to 200mm. As part of the OM System
design all the lenses now offer higher perform-
ance in small configurations. Olympus has pro-
duced lenses for microscopes for decades and
the new Zuiko lenses benefit from this scientific
experience. See the "OM System Zuiko Inter-
changeable
Lenses" manual for further in-
formation.
