The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO is a compact zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, offering a versatile focal length equivalent to 24-90mm. Its constant f/4 maximum aperture provides a harmonious blend of brightness and portability, making it ideal for everyday photography. The lens incorporates a variety of specialized elements in its optical construction to minimize spherical aberrations, color fringing, and distortion, ensuring the production of sharp and color-accurate images. Additionally, it features a ZERO coating that effectively reduces flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast in bright or backlit environments. The autofocus system is designed for both video and still photography, delivering fast, smooth, and silent focusing capabilities, along with a maximum magnification of 0.25x across the zoom range, making it suitable for close-up work. Furthermore, the lens is weather-sealed, allowing for reliable performance in challenging weather conditions.
- Standard wide-angle to portrait-length zoom lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 24-90mm equivalent focal length range.
- Constant f/4 maximum aperture enables consistent performance throughout the zoom range and helps to achieve a sleek and lightweight physical design.
- The lens construction integrates two aspherical elements, one DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) element, two extra-low dispersion elements, one Super HR (high-refractive index) elements, and two HR elements into its design to minimize aberrations, distortion, and color fringing throughout the zoom range while also contributing to overall image sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy.
- 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.
- Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
- Minimum focusing distance of 4.7" at the wide end and 9.1" at the tele end pairs with an impressive 0.25x maximum magnification ratio to suit working with close-up subjects.
- Dust-, freeze-, and drip-proof design ensure the lens' performance in inclement and harsh conditions.
- Rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth bokeh quality.
