Stealth, Spontaneity And Superb.
Setting a new benchmark for miniaturisation. Olympus' award winning M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED series lenses have secured another first in the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm 1:2.0 prime lens for Micro Four Thirds system cameras. Feeling solid in the palm and beautifully made thanks to an all-metal casing, this long-awaited optic delivers not only a fast aperture to make the most of available light but also an ultra wide 24mm equivalent performance in 35mm film terms. It's compact too and will easily slot into any trouser or jacket pocket. This limited edition designer kit includes matching lens hood and cap - all in classic black.
Classic Design, Contemporary Beauty.
The Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm 1:2.0 doesn't just do the job all PEN photographers have been hoping for when it comes to taking pictures and recording video; it looks the part too. The physically compact lens has a high grade metal exterior, sophisticated texture and a high quality construction from the first component to the last. It has a classic design, and you could even say it's destined to become a design classic. Weighing a mere 130 grams, it has a maximum diameter of 56 mm and an overall length of just 43 mm.
Faster And Quieter Auto Focus (AF).
With the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm 1:2.0 prime lens, the movie and still compatible ('MSC') AF mechanism benefits from the internal focusing mechanism used for conventional interchangeable lenses being improved by incorporating a screw drive mechanism - a metal shaft finished with sub-micron precision - instead of gears which cause noise. High precision plastics also ensure a quick, smooth, silent and moreover accurate AF drive.
Reduced Lens Flare, Enhanced Lens Coating.
The Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm 1:2.0 isn't just the ideal lens to fit for low light shooting as well as being very convenient to carry; it's truly multipurpose, coming up trumps in bright(er) conditions too.
World's First Mass Production Dual Super Aspherical (DSA) Lens.
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm 1:2.0 of course benefits from Olympus' rich heritage, high-end ZUIKO DIGITAL technologies and unparalleled know-how accumulated across many years in pursuit of high resolution and high performance.
