Lens OverviewOlympus 100mm f/2.8 E.Zuiko Auto T

The Olympus OM 100mm f/2.8 E.Zuiko Auto T is a manual focus prime lens built for the Olympus OM camera system. With a fixed focal length of 100mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, this lens sits firmly in telephoto prime territory, making it a compelling option for shooters who appreciate deliberate, hands-on focus control. It covers a full-frame image circle and mounts natively on any camera body with an Olympus OM mount, though adapters also open it up to a wide range of mirrorless and DSLR platforms.

At just 230g, it is notably lightweight for a telephoto prime, which contributes to a well-balanced, comfortable shooting experience over extended periods. The 49mm filter thread is a compact, widely supported size, keeping filter costs manageable. Image stabilization is not present, so shooters will want to factor in shutter speed or support when working in lower light.

The manual-only focus operation places full creative control in the photographer's hands, appealing to those who prefer a more tactile, deliberate approach to their craft. It is a lens with a focused, unambiguous specification set that rewards patient, skilled operators.
