Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 Lens

This 12mm f/2 wide aperture single-focal-length lens delivers crystal-clear images with sharpness throughout the image area. To ensure clear imaging performance even under unfavourable conditions such as when shooting against the light, the lens surfaces are coated with ZERO Coating, minimising issues with ghosts and flares. The Movie-Still-Compatible (MSC) mechanism provides a quick and silent focus mechanism for movies and still photography.

ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) Coating

This coating cuts the reflectance of wavelengths between 450 and 650 nm in half compared to the previous coating technology. As well as offering clear images, this technology also helps maintain the lens’s low reflectivity by preventing scratches and degradation due to the enhanced strength and durability made possible by vacuum deposition. This coating features high transmittance and minimises hard-to-prevent artefacts such as ghosts and flares to ensure clear imaging performance even under unfavourable conditions, such as when shooting against the light.

Effective under low light conditions. Large bright F2.0 aperture and in-body image stabilisation

Users will enjoy the expanded low-light shooting capability. This is possible due to the wide 12mm angle (equivalent to 24mm of 35mm film camera) and the large aperture of F2.0. Additionally, the image stabilizer built into the body of all Olympus OM-D and PEN series cameras enhances this capability. Beyond typical low-light environments like dusk or indoors, this lens allows for brilliant wide-angle pictures in tripod-restricted areas and places where flash use is prohibited, such as zoos.

Equipped with an advanced Snapshot Focus mechanism that lets you shift your focusing point to a specific distance

Equipped with the Snapshot Focus mechanism, the lens enables deep-focus shooting. By sliding the focus ring towards you, you can adjust the focusing point to a specific distance. Rotating the focus ring changes the focus distance within the indicated scale range on the lens cylinder.

A compact size that can produce high image quality is thanks to the rational design

A rational lens design of 11 elements in 8 groups enables a compact form and excellent image capture. To ensure clear imaging performance even under unfavourable conditions such as when shooting against the light, the lens surfaces are coated with ZERO Coating, which eliminates previously hard-to-prevent issues with ghosts and flares.
