OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 Lens (Black)




The OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 Lens is a fast and super bright ultra-wide prime lens with a 35mm equivalent of 24mm for Micro Four Thirds shooters. The 12mm benefits from an aperture range of f/2-22 and utilises DSA, aspherical, ED, and Super HR elements to control aberrations for greater clarity and colour accuracy. Additionally, the lens features a seven-blade circular diaphragm for pleasing out-of-focus elements. The lens also features full metal construction for durability.

This high-speed, single-focal-length, wide-angle lens is ideal for shooting high-quality, dramatic landscapes and street scenes in low-light conditions. It has a beautiful full-metal body and a snap ring that enables photographers to pan focus with a distance indicator.
Flexible focusing system
One of the most interesting features of this lens is the flexibility of its focusing system. While this is a so-called “focus-by-wire” lens – which means the movement of the lenses focusing elements is controlled by an electric autofocus motor instead of a mechanical linkage – it offers two distinct manual focusing options. Choosing is as easy as moving the snap focus ring that activates the lens’s Manual Focus Clutch mechanism.
Movie & still compatible mechanism
One of this lens’s most interesting features is the unique-to-OM SYSTEM Movie & Still Compatible mechanism, or MSC. This technology provides amazingly fast – and nearly silent – autofocus operation. You’ll really notice the benefit when you playback your HD video and the only thing you hear is the ambient background noise in the scene you were filming; what you won’t hear is the sound of the lens moving as it changes focus. This lens is perfect for tracking action.
This is a lens to grow with
The 12mm wide-angle is a great choice for shooting portraits, low-light landscapes and interior architecture. It’s also a lens you can grow with; as your skills improve you can use the manual focus options to take control and set up your shots just the way you want them.
Accessorise with lens hood
You can accessorise with a special lens cap and lens hood, great for avoiding lens flares that can ruin an otherwise perfect picture.
*Note that the lens hood is sold separately.
