M.ZUIKO ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO AT A GLANCE

Our new M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO is the world’s smallest, lightest medium range zoom lens with a fixed aperture value*. It fits right in with our OM-D line — known as the world’s most portable camera system. Like OM-D cameras, the lens is weathersealed so you can work in adverse conditions without protective gear. Achieve high-resolution edge-to-edge sharpness at all focal lengths and high-speed focusing that works with our blazing-fast autofocus system. It goes anywhere and shoots a little of everything from landscapes and cityscapes to portrait shots.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

M.Zuiko PRO lenses are built for the highest level of performance, incorporating fast apertures and weathersealed construction.

Small. Light. Perfect

It’s under 3 inches long and weighs a hair over half a pound. It owns the title of world’s smallest, lightest medium range zoom lens with a fixed aperture range.

Weathersealed

Rain happens. Gear gets splashed on. Wind kicks up a dust storm. This lens is ready for all of it. And more. A smart nine seal system effectively keeps rain, water, dust and dirt out.

Close-Up Capable

A must have lens if you’re into macro photography. Enjoy a maximum shooting magnification of 0.5x (35mm equivalent) across the entire zoom range.
