Zuiko

Zuiko is a brand of optical products, most notably camera lenses and accessories, manufactured by Olympus Corporation. The name "Zuiko" originates from the Japanese words "zui" (meaning auspicious) and "ko" (meaning child), reflecting Olympus's ambition for their optical products to be successful and bring good fortune. Zuiko lenses have a long history, dating back to the early days of Olympus cameras. They are known for their optical quality, build precision, and often for their compact size relative to their performance.

Olympus has produced a wide range of Zuiko lenses, including prime lenses and zoom lenses, for their various camera systems, from the early film SLRs to the modern Micro Four Thirds digital cameras. The Zuiko Digital line specifically refers to lenses designed for Olympus's digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) and later, their mirrorless cameras. These lenses often feature advanced optical designs to correct aberrations and achieve high sharpness and contrast. Zuiko lenses are recognized by photographers for their performance and are often sought after for their imaging capabilities and durability. The brand has built a strong reputation within the photography community, contributing significantly to Olympus's standing as a camera manufacturer.
