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.
