Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12mm f/2 Lens (Black)

Introduction

A compact wide-angle prime with intuitive handling and an advanced optical design, the blackM.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2fromOlympusis a 24mm equivalent lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The wide focal length pairs with the bright f/2 maximum aperture to benefit available light shooting as well as astrophotography applications. The lens’s optical design makes use of one aspherical element, one DSA (Double Super Aspherical) element, and a Super HR (high refractive index) element to reduce spherical aberrations and control distortion for notable sharpness, and one extra-low dispersion element reduces color fringing for high clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, the lens is characterized by its Movie & Still Compatible autofocus system for quick and quiet performance, as well as a manual focus clutch and Snapshot Focus mode for intuitive control over focus position and depth of field.

• Wide-angle prime lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and offers a 24mm equivalent focal length.
• Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions.
• Aspherical, DSA, and Super HR elements combine to control distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and resolution.
• One extra-low dispersion element minimizes chromatic aberration and color fringing for greater clarity and color fidelity.
• Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
• Manual focus clutch lets you quickly pull the focusing ring into place for direct, intuitive focus control. This also reveals the Snapshot Focus mode, which incorporates a depth of field scale for working with hyperfocal focusing and zone focusing techniques.
• Dust- and moisture-resistant construction ensures this lens’s performance in inclement conditions.
• Rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth bokeh quality.
