Compact, Lightweight Standard Zoom Lens
This is a new standard zoom lens with a 14 to 42mm focal length (35mm equivalent focal length: 28-84mm equivalent), featuring 8 elements in 7 groups, covering everything from wide-angle to mid-range telephoto. Using three aspherical lenses minimizes aberrations and provides excellent image quality. All lens surfaces are multi-coated, ensuring clear rendering performance. A circular aperture has been used to provide natural bokeh. The lens features a retractable mechanism for enhanced portability when stored. The lens can be extended or retracted just by rotating the zoom ring, allowing users to enjoy smooth, seamless shooting.
Maximum Image Magnification and Closest Focusing Distance
Close-up shooting is possible up to a maximum image magnification of 0.53x equivalent (35mm equivalent), with the closest focusing distance of 0.13 m (at the wide-angle end).Users can shoot subjects from as close as approximately 4 cm from the front of the lens.This lens supports Focus Stacking, one of OM SYSTEM’s computational photography shooting functions, allowing users to keep the whole subject in focus in close-up shots where depth of field becomes shallow.
Superb Weather Resistance
Dust & splash proof performance allows users to shoot worry-free, even in rain or in environments where the lens may be exposed to spray. Even sudden rain when out and about is no concern. Users can carry the lens with them and capture shots that are only possible in rainy weather, without worrying about equipment failures.
