Olympus Launches the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f2.8 PRO
-- Latest Micro Four Thirds System standard lens that features a constant aperture f2.8 --
September 10th, 2013: Olympus today announced the launch of their latest M. Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f2.8 PRO lens. Taking advantage of the latest technology to compress high performance of a much bigger lens into a sleek, compact design, the new M.ZUIKO PRO lens category will be established for the lens group that conforms to the Micro Four Thirds System standard. This large-aperture standard zoom is the first in the M.ZUIKO PRO category which covers focal lengths equivalent to 24-80mm on a 35mm camera. In addition to dustproof and splashproof construction, its constant aperture value at all focal lengths was one of the requirements of professional photographers for a high-performance lens. This product maintains the brightness of a constant aperture f2.8 for the perfect response to high-grade image creation.
The lens also remains high-performance, compactness and lightweight form at a constant aperture f2.8 thanks to the Micro Four Thirds System standard compliant. Equipped with the Olympus exclusive MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism, this revolution achieves the title of one of the fastest AF*1 high-performance standard zoom lens when combined with the OLYMPUS OM-D E-M1. Additionally, it is equipped with Manual Focus Clutch mechanism, an evolved version of the Snapshot Focus mechanism, and is possible to shoot using a distance scale.
In addition to the “M.ZUIKO PRO”, the new lens categories for Micro Four Thirds System standard also include the “M.ZUIKO PREMIUM” which includes high-performance and high quality single-focal-length lenses and the “M.ZUIKO” standard range. All future products will be fashioned keeping these categories in mind.
Main Features
1. Constant aperture fixed to f2.8, compact, lightweight form and superior depictive performance
2. Dustproof and splashproof construction that expands shooting possibilities
3. Equipped with the MSC mechanism for quick and silent auto focusing
4. The Manual Focus Clutch mechanism, an evolved version of the Snapshot Focus mechanism
5. Macro shooting performance of a minimum focusing distance of 20cm at all focal lengths, with a maximum magnification of 0.6x (35mm equivalent)
