A compact wide-angle prime with intuitive handling and an advanced optical design, the Olympus 12mm f/2.0 Lens - Black is a 24mm equivalent lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The wide focal length pairs with the bright f/2 maximum aperture to benefit available light shooting as well as astrophotography applications. The lens's optical design makes use of one aspherical element, one DSA (Double Super Aspherical) element, and a Super HR (high refractive index) element to reduce spherical aberrations and control distortion for notable sharpness, and one extra-low dispersion element reduces colour fringing for high clarity and colour accuracy.
Additionally, the lens is characterized by its Movie & Still Compatible autofocus system for quick and quiet performance, as well as a manual focus clutch and Snapshot Focus mode for intuitive control over focus position and depth of field.
A wide-angle prime lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and offers a 24mm equivalent focal length
One extra-low dispersion element minimizes chromatic aberration and colour fringing for greater clarity and colour fidelity
Aspherical, DSA and Super HR elements combine to control distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and resolution
Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance
Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth bokeh quality
Manual focus clutch lets you quickly pull the focusing ring into place for direct, intuitive focus control. This also reveals the Snapshot Focus mode, which incorporates a depth of field scale for working with hyperfocal focusing and zone focusing techniques
