M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II
Clearer, sharper imaging than ever before
Key Features:
- Reliable weather-resistant performance
- 35mm equivalent: 24-80mm
- Further improved high image quality and a compact, lightweight design in a standard zoom lens with a fixed maximum aperture of F2.8
- Advanced IP53 dustproof and splashproof performance, and freezeproof performance to -10°C
- Fluorine coating added
- Excellent resolution across the entire zoom range
- Closest focusing distance of 20 cm (at all focal distances),
This model uses an optical design with 14 elements in 9 groups (1 EDA lens, 2 aspherical lens, 1 DSA lens, 2 ED lens, 1 HD lens, 2 HR lens) with 4 aspherical lenses including a DSA lens effectively placed to achieve a compact, lightweight form and superior depictive performance of an M.Zuiko PRO lens. Effectively compensating for aberrations that occur when zooming, results in high resolution from the centre to the edges of the frame across the entire zoom range, from wide-angle 24mm equivalent1 to mid-telephoto 80mm equivalent1. This high-performance lens fully utilises the high image quality performance of the camera body when using High Res Shot mode
.
The latest manufacturing techniques suppress surface scattering on aspherical lenses, significantly reducing flares compared to conventional products, resulting in clearer depictive performance. Optimal placement of coating, including ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating, improves resistance to backlighting.
