Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12mm f/2 Lens - Black

Stunning Wide-Angle Prime Lens for Micro Four-Thirds Cameras

The stunning Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f2.0 prime lens brings sharp and bright wide-angle imaging to micro four-thirds cameras. Featuring a 24mm equivalent focal length with wide angle of view, the Olympus 12mm f2.0 is an outstanding choice for street and astro photography, scenic landscapes and cityscapes, architecture and portraits. The lens’ compact, all-metal construction gives it a sleek and robust design that’s perfect for travel and everyday use.

Superb Low-Light Performance and Ultra-Smooth Bokeh

With its bright f2.0 maximum aperture, the Olympus 12mm f2.0 performs superbly in low light, particularly when combined with the image stabilisation in Olympus OM-D and PEN cameras. You’ll be able to capture clear, sharp shots of dim interiors or evening streetscapes without needing to use flash. At f2.0 the lens also produces shallow depth of field with ultra-smooth bokeh that’ll make any subject stand out.

Vibrant Colours and Edge-to Edge Sharpness

Capture every subject in fine detail and with true-to-life colours. Even with the aperture wide open, the Olympus 12mm f2.0 renders images with sharpness and crystal clarity throughout. ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) Coating applied to the lens surface minimises flares and ghosting, keeping your shots clear and vibrant even when you’re shooting towards the light.

Movie-Still-Compatible AF for Fast, Smooth, Silent Autofocus

The Olympus 12mm f2.0 lens’ remarkable focusing system ensures you won’t miss a moment. The advanced Movie-Still-Compatible (MSC) mechanism delivers fast, smooth and silent autofocus for both photos and videos, helping you to accurately capture and track even quick-moving subjects.

Snapshot Focus Mechanism for Easy Zone Focusing

Ideal when it’s tricky to autofocus (e.g. with street photography), zone and hyperfocal focusing are easy with the Olympus 12mm f2.0 lens. The lens’ innovative Snapshot Focus mechanism makes it fast and intuitive to shift your focusing point to a specific distance. With your camera set to a narrow aperture, simply slide the snap ring backwards and rotate it according to the distance and depth of field scales. This allows you to create deep depth of field, with both subject and background sharply in focus.
