Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO II Lens

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO II from OM SYSTEM delivers outstanding optical performance and high-resolution imagery, ensuring exceptional image quality in any setting. Designed for maximum portability, this compact and lightweight zoom lens serves as a 24-80mm equivalent for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Its sophisticated optical architecture incorporates various advanced elements that effectively minimize both chromatic and spherical aberrations across the entire zoom range, resulting in remarkable clarity, sharpness, and color fidelity.

This lens is an ideal option for content creators, featuring a high-speed autofocus system that is compatible with both video and still photography, allowing for rapid, smooth, and silent focusing. With a minimum focusing distance of merely 7.9 inches, it enables you to capture close-up images whenever needed. Additionally, the lens is protected by a robust weather-sealed construction, ensuring reliable performance in adverse and challenging conditions, while a fluorine coating offers extra defense against dust, water, grease, and dirt.

The optical design incorporates two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, two aspherical elements, one dual super aspherical (DSA) element, one extra-low dispersion aspherical (EDA) element, one high-definition (HD) element, and two high-refractive index (HR) elements. This configuration effectively reduces aberrations, distortion, and color fringing across the entire zoom range, while enhancing overall image sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy.

• A ZERO (Zuiko extra-low reflection optical) coating is applied to diminish lens flare and ghosting, thereby enhancing contrast and color fidelity in challenging lighting situations.
  
  
• Additionally, a fluorine coating safeguards the optical system by repelling dust, water droplets, grease, and dirt, facilitating easy cleaning even when contaminants adhere to the lens surface.
  
  
• Standard wide-angle to portrait-length zoom lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 24-80mm equivalent focal length range.
  
  
• Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture enables consistent low-light performance and selective focus control throughout the zoom range. Combined with a rounded seven-blade diaphragm, this produces a smooth bokeh quality beneficial to portraiture and close-up photography.
  
  
• Movie and still compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
  
  
• Reliable weather-sealed design ensures the lens's performance in inclement and harsh conditions.
