Juice Bar

The magic of the Olympus M.75mm f1.8, the crown jewel of the prime lenses for micro four thirds. Pin-sharp foreground and buttery-smooth background from a lens released in 2012, turning a routine shot into something a little less than ordinary. The later PRO line of prime lenses are weather-sealed and a bit faster, but none exceeds the optical quality of the 75 in my opinion. Raw development and processing in Affinity Photo 1.8.0.
