1. Compact, lightweight, high-magnification zoom lens with a range from ultra wide-angle 16mm equivalent1 to 50mm equivalent1, boasting a magnification of 3.1x
This single lens covers a wide range of shooting scenarios, from the ultra wide-angle 16mm equivalent to a maximum2 3.1x zoom magnification for capturing everything from dynamic ultra wide-angle shots to standard shots. This is the first lens in the M.Zuiko PRO series to feature a retracting mechanism to ensure a compact size. Despite being an ultra wide-angle, high-magnification zoom lens, this model weighs 411 grams, making it highly portable for nimble shooting
2. Excellent optical performance, delivering high resolution, sharp depiction across the entire zoom range
・ Excellent optical performance of M.Zuiko PRO lenses
Our dedication to optical performance resulted in adopting a 16-element, 10-group lens configuration that includes special lenses such as Super ED, ED, and EDA lenses. Various types of aberrations are thoroughly suppressed, including chromatic aberration, resulting in high-resolution, sharp depiction unique to M.Zuiko PRO lenses across the entire zoom range. Also, incorporating a large DSA lens significantly reduces sagittal comatic aberration. This design delivers high point image reproduction from the center to the edges of the image even at the widest aperture setting which excels in night scene and star photography. Furthermore, the optimized ZERO Coating and lens shape help thoroughly suppress ghosts and flaring during backlit shooting, delivering sharp, high-definition depiction. Because the aperture value remains the same at any focal length, exposure control is easy while operating zoom and when recording video.
・ Close-up shooting performance with a maximum shooting magnification of 0.42x1
Enjoy intense macro shooting with a maximum shooting magnification of 0.42x for performance that rivals that of a half-macro lens. The closest focusing distance is 0.23 meters across the entire zoom range, making it possible to operate the zoom ring after getting close to the subject for easy angle of view adjustment. Also, this lens supports Focus Stacking3, which merges images into a single photo in focus from the foreground to background in the camera, enabling versatile macro photographic expressions.
3. Reliable dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof performance (-10°C) and superb controls
・ Reliable durability even in punishing environments
This model features the superb splashproof and dustproof performance of IPX1 equivalent and freezeproof performance to -10°C for a high level of reliability unique to the M.Zuiko PRO series. When paired with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and E-M5 series, you can have peace of mind using this lens in punishing environments such as rain and snow. Fluorine coating is used on the front lens for easy cleaning if it becomes dirty.
・ Supports filter attachment despite being an ultra wide-angle lens
Despite featuring ultra wide-angle 16mm equivalent performance, filters can be attached to the end of the lens. Attaching PL or ND filters with a diameter of 72 mm allows for a versatile range of photographic expressions.
