A compact wide-angle prime with intuitive handling and an advanced optical design, the Olympus 12mm f/2.0 Lens - Silver 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.
With the innovative "Snapshot Focus" mechanism, the focusing position moves to a preset distance by gently pulling the focus ring towards the camera body. Zone focus set it and forget it--the ultimate street shooter camera/lens combination
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
The lens is Movie & Still Compatible (MSC), with high-speed, near-silent autofocus during still shooting and high-definition (HD) video capture
Aspherical, DSA and Super HR elements combine to control distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and resolution
One extra-low dispersion element minimizes chromatic aberration and colour fringing for greater clarity and colour fidelity
A wide-angle prime lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and offers a 24mm equivalent focal length
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth bokeh quality
Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions
12 mm f/2.0 (24 mm equivalent in 35 mm format) wide-angle lens for Olympus PEN cameras
