Overview

This high-speed, single-focal-length, wide-angle lens is ideal for shooting high-quality, dramatic landscapes and street scenes in low-light conditions. It has a beautiful full-metal body and a snap ring that enables photographers to pan focus with a distance indicator.

FLEXIBLE FOCUSING SYSTEM

One of the most interesting features of this lens is the flexibility of its focusing system. While this is a so-called focus-by-wire lens which means movement of the lenses focusing elements are controlled by an electric autofocus motor instead of a mechanical linkage it offers two distinct manual focusing options. Choosing is as easy as moving the snap focus ring that activates the lenss Manual Focus Clutch mechanism.

MOVIE & STILL COMPATIBLE MECHANISM

One of this lenss most interesting features is the unique-to-Olympus Movie & Still Compatible mechanism, or MSC. This technology provides amazingly fast and nearly silent autofocus operation. Youll really notice the benefit when you play back your HD video and the only thing you hear is the ambient background noise in the scene you were filming; what you wont hear is the sound of the lens moving as it changes focus. This lens is perfect for tracking action.

THIS IS A LENS TO GROW WITH

The 12mm wide-angle is a great choice for shooting portraits, low-light landscapes and interior architecture. Its also a lens you can grow with; as your skills improve you can use the manual focus options to take control and set up your shots just the way you want them.

ACCESSORIZE WITH LENS HOOD

You can accessorize with a special lens cap and lens hood, great for avoiding lens flares that can ruin an otherwise perfect picture.
