The Olympus OM-System Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 Auto-S lens was manufactured by Olympus for 35mm SLR cameras. The 50mm was a standard lens usually provided as a kit lens with 35mm cameras such as the Olympus OM-1 or Olympus OM-G.
As a cornerstone of the OM lineup, this lens had a long production run through several minor revisions. From earliest to latest, these can be identified as:
- "silvernose" (bright chrome rings around filter thread)
- blacknose but still engraved "F.ZUIKO" (F= 6th letter of alphabet, indicating 6 elements)
- engraved "ZUIKO MC" (multicoating)
- engraved "made in Japan" (all lowercase aside from the "J")
