Product Overview
Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-100mm F4.0 IS Pro is an all-in-one zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds-mount. It covers the MFT image circle. Introduced by Olympus in 2016, it has 17 elements in 11 groups.
For incremental weathers, Olympus is kind enough to include weather sealing.
An all-in-one zoom lens, the M.Zuiko ED 12-100mm F4.0 IS Pro trades some performance for versatility, though the most discerning photographers may find the image quality hardly satisfactory. The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use.

Reviewer score 77%The M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 IS Pro has a lot going for it. The Pro-level optics are sharp, colored flare and colored fringing are kept to a minimum. The 24-200mm range and 0.6x magnification make the lens one that a lot of photographers will opt for when they can only pack one.
