One Hour. One Expert. The Right Gear.
Photography in Good Company
Your everyday pro zoom—bright, tough, and beautifully sharp.
If you could only bring one lens, this is the one. The 12–40mm F2.8 PRO II delivers a natural 24–80mm equivalent range with constant F2.8 speed in a compact, weather-sealed build that begs to go everywhere—foggy coastlines, café interiors, blue-hour streets, and quick family portraits on the way. It focuses fast and quietly, renders crisp detail with rich contrast, and gets surprisingly close for context-plus-detail storytelling. Put it on and you’re ready for almost anything.
Why you’ll love it (facts → real-world benefits)
-
Do-everything range: 12–40mm on Micro Four Thirds (≈24–80mm FF-equiv) covers landscapes, people, food, product—your daily carry zoom.
-
Constant F2.8 brightness: Keep shutter speeds up and ISO down across the entire zoom; enjoy subject separation even in tricky light.
-
True field reliability: IP53 dust/splash rating and freeze-proof to –10 °C so unruly weather becomes part of the plan, not a reason to pack it in.
-
Clean front element, fewer flares: Fluorine top coat sheds rain/oil; ZERO coating helps maintain contrast in backlight.
-
Close-up capability: 0.20 m minimum focus at every focal length with 0.3× max magnification (≈0.6× FF-equiv) for detail-rich shots without a dedicated macro.
-
Fast, quiet AF for stills + video: MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) drive locks focus quickly and silently.
-
Focus your way: Pull-back manual-focus clutch with distance scale; assign your favorite function to the on-lens L-Fn button.
-
Balanced, travel-friendly: Compact, solid build that handles beautifully on OM SYSTEM/Olympus bodies; takes common 62 mm filters.
-
Ready out of the box: Includes a dedicated lens hood to tame stray light and add a bit of protection.
Ideal for: Photographers who want one pro-grade lens to trust for travel, events, portraits, food/product, and everyday life—bright, durable, and delightfully versatile.
