Om System Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO Lens Summary
One of the main benefits of the micro four thirds system is the compact size a smaller sensor offers. To this end the new OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 PRO zoom lens is currently the world’s lightest fixed aperture zoom lens. It weighs just 245g. and is only 70mm long, setting it apart from comparable compact zooms available on the market today. The zoom is from the comprehensive range of Om System lenses and inherits its advanced optical design from the highly regarded 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO sibling. This new offering provides a longer telephoto reach as well as macro capabilities and as the PRO naming suggests is aimed at professionals and serious amateurs who require the best possible equipment. Extensive weather sealing ensures the 12-45mm f/4 PRO lens can be used in harsher conditions as well as for interior work.
The 12-45mm is capable of rendering extremely high resolutions together with noticeably sharp results across the frame and throughout the zoom range. Another benefit to this lens is the macro capability, providing 1:2 close-ups at an impressive 12cm close focus distance at the wide-angle end, and 23cm at the telephoto end. This allows photographers to get extremely close to their subjects and ensures this lens is versatile enough for many situations. With an effective range of 24mm to 90mm (full-frame equivalent) this model covers a comprehensive workhorse range. Compatibility is designed for any micro 4/3 sensor camera s
