    TAKE IT WITH YOU ON THE GO

    The M.Zuiko 14-42mm zoom is an excellent addition to your system if you’re looking for a versatile lens that’s compact enough to take anywhere and suitable for a wide range of photographic situations. It’s just under 2 inches in length, and a so light you might forget you’re carrying it at only 4 ounces in weight.

    MOVIE & STILL COMPATIBLE MECHANISM

    One of this lens’s most interesting features is the unique-to-Olympus Movie & Still Compatible mechanism, or MSC. This technology provides amazingly fast – and nearly silent – autofocus operation. You’ll 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 won’t hear is the sound of the lens moving as it changes focus. This lens is perfect for tracking action. With MSC, you can film a school play or indoor sporting event in low light and still get excellent results.

    SHOOT MACRO SHOTS

    The lens provides 3x zoom for long shots and a close focusing distance of about 10 inches, so you can definitely shoot some macro subjects. The middle range of the lens’s focal range is that of a 50mm prime – perfect for general shooting. Maximum aperture is f3.5 at the wide end so you’re only going to need flash in pretty dim conditions.

Sharp, light weight, easy to carry around.

I purchased this lens to do pictures in s small, cramped areas. And this lens delivers beautiful, sharp, well-saturated pictures. On this small focusing distance, such 11mm you would expect a barrel distortion, but I could not find any. <br />The lens is small and light, easy to carry. Weatherseal would definitely make him a proline lens.

Very nice kit lens!

Got this lens along with my EM-10 Mark II as a kit lens. I use this to capture wide-angle scene and also some pretty nice portraits. Very nice kit lens.

After six years, still going strong!

This was the kit lens on an E-P3 that I purchased about 6 years ago. It's still going strong, takes good photos, and sees plenty of action on my camera.
