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.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2 Reviews
Super compact wide angle lens
By Robert
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-02-16
Great wide angle (eq. of 24mm on FF) - Compact and stylish MFT lens. PROS: Styling, metal body, tiny size. This is the embodiment of MFT philosophy - on my OM5 this makes for a tiny camera. Easily fitting in a small bag or pack. Produce super sharp images at all F between 2.8 - 8 (tiny bit of softness at corners at F2 but razor sharp over most of the frame). Great color rendition and reasonable bokeh (soft transition). CONS: Not weather sealed compared to Zuiko pro lenses or OM5 body, but so far so good - I have taken this to humid jungles and sand storms in the desert and so far it has survived coming on 2 years.
Nice wide angle lens

The lens displays a fine wide-angle spread and the photos are quite sharp. My only gripe is that it grates when attaching to the camera body--it doesn't slide on/off smoothly like my new 300mm lens.

Would that lens be compatible with the Fuji x100F ?
We're afraid not. The FUJIFILM X100F is a Point and Shoot Camera with a built in lens. This is for a camera with an MFT mount. FUJIFILM does offer the WCL-X100 II Wide Conversion Lens (Silver) which you could consider instead, B&H # FUWCLX100IIS.
