Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Lens | Black

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ from Olympus is notable for its slim pancake design, making it a versatile zoom lens with a 28-84mm equivalent focal length, specifically crafted for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Despite its compact dimensions, this lens boasts an advanced optical configuration that incorporates aspherical, low dispersion, and high refractive index elements, ensuring exceptional sharpness and clarity across the entire zoom range. Additionally, a ZERO coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize flare and ghosting, resulting in images with high contrast and accurate colors. Beyond its optical performance and compactness, the lens features an Electronic Zoom mechanism that facilitates smooth and consistent zooming, along with a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system that is both fast and silent, making it ideal for both video and photography.

• Wide-to-portrait-length zoom is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 28-84mm equivalent focal length range.
  
  
• Three aspherical elements and one S-HR (Super-High Refractive Index) element are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range. One extra-low dispersion element is featured, too, to suppress color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved color accuracy and clarity.
  
  
• A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating has been applied to individual elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
  
  
• Electronic Zoom control uses a linear motor to produce smooth, dramatic zooming effects to complement your video recording. Two zoom speeds are available, too, to suit various subject types and recording needs.
  
  
• Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
  
  
• Pancake form-factor measures just 0.9" thick and an Electronic Retraction feature automatically extends and retracts the lens when the camera is powered on or off.
