PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The first focal length to give distinct telephoto effects, this 85mm lens is extra fast, yet as small as many standard lenses. This lense produces images 1.5 times as large as those of a standard lense yet is almost the same size (telephoto ratio 1.06) as conventional standard lenses. It produces photographs with a natural perspective making it ideal for portrait, travel and still life and/or studio photography. A built-in automatic correction mechanism compensates for aberrations at close focusing distances. The fast f/2.0 lens speed and inherent shallow depth of field is extremely useful for creating pleasing out-of-focus foregrounds and backgrounds in portrait photography. it is a perfect lense for low light situations such as interiors and night scenes and the fast speed enables the photographer to focus quickly and easily.
The 85mm, in particular has long been given a lot of emphasis as an ideal focal length for portraiture. Thus stress was placed on enhancing this lens' full aperture and close focus capabilities. This lense maintains its high optical quality even at its closest focusing distance of 0.85 meter because it used to be the only telephoto lens within the Zuiko lens family that incorporated with a close-range optical correction mechanism to counter aberrations. The older version has a different optical construction of 6 elements in 4 groups while the revised version is employing a 5 elements in 4 group design; however, BOTH versions are incorporated with automatic correction mechanism against close distance aberrations. The new Zuiko lense, despite has a element lesser than the predecessor, maintains its weight equivalent to the older version. A general way for identification for both versions is, the newer version has omitted the "F-ZUIKO" and simply mentioned it as ZUIKO AUTO-T 85mm f/2.0.
Just to show you how compact this fast speed ZUIKO telephoto lense is, despite It comes with a f/2.0 maximum aperture, it still be able to use any OM-standard 49mm threaded filter accessories. Lastly, Olympus has only a sole lense offers at this focal length but it serves well with its good lense speed, highly portable dimension and weight, making it one of the most desirable telephoto lense in the ZUIKO lens family.

Medium Format
Medium format refers to the size of your roll of film (or if you’re talking digital, it’s the size of the camera sensor). It really just means that you are shooting on a bigger piece of film than you do with a 35mm camera. The increased size of medium format film means a much larger negative. This will give you finer details and less grain.
Choosing your Right Medium Format Camera
Twin Lens Reflex (TLRS)
TLRs use two objective lens of the same focal length. The photographic objective lens is the one that is used to take the picture. The other lens, called the view lens, is connected to the viewfinder. Most TLRs are fixed focal length, and the more expensive models may incorporate a rudimentary room function. Most TLRs use a leaf shutter system, resulting in high speeds, quiet operation and low shutter vibration. There are also close-up, wide angle and telephoto adapters for TLRs.
Some popular TLRS cameras are: Yashica MAT-124G, Rolleiflex 2.8F, Minolta Autocord and Mamiya C330


Rangefinder
Rangefinder cameras are medium format cameras with a range finder. This negates the waistline, viewing that most TLRs carry. They are also much smaller than TLRs, and allow for easier point and shoot photographs. They tend to have limited focusing ranges, and do not have lenses larger than 180mm or 200mm. Rangefinders are quieter and easier to focus in dim light. They are mostly fixed lens models, but higher range models also provide for interchangeability.
Some popular rangefinder cameras are: Fujica G690, Mamiya 6/7, Bronica RF645, Norita 66 and Pentax 67
