Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-40mm F2.8 Pro MFT Lens (2013)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-40mm F2.8 Pro is a standard zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds-mount. It covers the MFT image circle. Introduced by Olympus in 2013, it has 14 elements in 9 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the M.Zuiko ED 12-40mm F2.8 Pro is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Olympus is kind enough to include weather sealing.
A standard zoom lens with relatively bright maximum aperture, the M.Zuiko ED 12-40mm F2.8 Pro can be a key piece in a photographer's arsenal, though some may prefer prime lenses in this focal range.
