Overview
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens is a Micro Four Thirds zoom lens covering a 24-90mm full-frame equivalent range, making it a versatile everyday option that spans wide-angle to portrait-length framing in a single lens. Its constant f/4 maximum aperture holds exposure steady throughout the zoom range while keeping the overall design compact and lightweight, striking a useful balance between speed and portability for photographers who want one lens for a wide variety of everyday subjects, from landscapes and street scenes to portraits.
The optical design incorporates two aspherical elements, one DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) element, two extra-low dispersion elements, one Super HR element, and two HR elements to suppress spherical aberrations, color fringing, and distortion, resulting in sharp, color-accurate imagery. A ZERO coating controls flare and ghosting for improved contrast in bright and backlit conditions, while a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system delivers fast, smooth, and silent focusing for both photo and video work. Weather-sealed construction lets you keep shooting in dusty, freezing, or drippy conditions.
Close-Up Versatility
A minimum focusing distance of 12cm at the wide end and 23.1cm at the tele end pairs with a 0.25x maximum magnification ratio, making the lens a practical option for working with close-up subjects without switching to a dedicated macro lens.
Smooth 7-Blade Diaphragm
A rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural-looking bokeh, helping subjects stand out against softly blurred backgrounds.
