Key Features
  • Micro Four Thirds System
  • 24mm (35mm Equivalent)
  • Aperture Range: f/2 to f/22
  • Two Aspherical Elements
A compact wide-angle prime with intuitive handling and an advanced optical design, the black M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 from Olympus 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 color fringing for high clarity and color 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.

Wide-angle prime lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and offers a 24mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions.
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 color fringing for greater clarity and color fidelity.
Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
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.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth bokeh quality.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 Reviews

12mm Great little lens

By Ronald
Rated 5 out of 5

Don't know why I waited so long. For the longest time I read varying reports. Since several of the M.Zuiko telephoto line up starts at 12mm I wasn't in a hurry. I have the other primes just not the 12 mm. I am using it with the EM1Mk3 and my old EM5 Mk2 and is a perfect lowlight walk around lens combination. Great landscape and street lens. IQ is very sharp. There was a brief sale and picked it up at a great price. Highly recommended.

A nice, small lens

I need a small wide-angle and this fits my needs. So far with focus peaking and quick manual/automatic shift I have not seen any of the soft focus some have complained of, and the compact size of the lens makes it a natural addition for travel. I have not put the weather-sealing to the test yet.

Sharp!

Thanks B&H for always having what I need, when I need it!

Great lens for my X5 OSMO.

I purchased this lens to use with my X5 Osmo Pro. Lens is sharp and feels durable. It gave me the extra field of view I needed compared to the stock DJI lens. I'm happy with the purchase, but was bummed to find out that a lens hood is not included. You have to purchase the hood separately. For the price I paid it should be included.

Good lens

Using it with DJI Inspire 2 x5s. Great FOV and do not forget to get the balancing ring.

Solid little gem

Solid built metal lens, yet not heavy. Paired it really well with pen f. It’s been on the camera since. Auto focus is quiet, fast enough for my use (street photography) and sharp throughout all f stops. Too bad Olympus did not include a lens hood for all their lens unless it’s pro lens.

Excellent Product, Price, Serv
