    SMALL. LIGHT. PERFECT.

    It’s under 3 inches long and weighs a hair over half a pound. It owns the title of world’s smallest, lightest medium range zoom lens with a fixed aperture range. Our new M. Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO lens is built to work with our already compact and lightweight OM-D camera bodies. Pair it with our E-M5 Mark III and get a combo that’s only 4.5 inches long and weighs a puny 1.5 lbs. For you, it means streamlined comfort that lets you shoot for hours without tiring.

    WEATHERSEALED

    Rain happens. Gear gets splashed on. Wind kicks up a dust storm. This lens is ready for all of it. And more. A smart nine seal system effectively keeps rain, water, dust and dirt out. It’ll even keep focusing when temperatures dip below freezing. No protective gear required. As part of the weathersealed OM-D system of cameras and lens, we’re helping photographers work in all conditions with less gear.

    CAPTURE BETTER CLOSE-UPS

It all adds up to close-up shooting with amazing versatility and creative possibilities.

    A FOCUS ON SPEED

    OM-D system cameras are equipped with a fast, accurate autofocusing system to track and capture any moving subject. Our M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO lens keeps up without breaking a sweat. It features a compact, single, lightweight focusing element that provides fast, accurate focus point capture. You’ll never miss a shot.

    GLASS THAT’S EXTRA SHARP

    Olympus has a global reputation for exceptional image quality. And our line of M.Zuiko lenses is a big reason for the razor sharpness you see in our photos.

Its uses ED, DSA and Super HR lenses to generate sharpness right to the edge of the frame and across the entire zoom range. A ZERO lens coating reduces ghosts and flares.

Super sharp lens with good zoom range.

Great all around lens that is super sharp. The zoom range will make it my "walk around" lens to use on my Olympus E-M5 Mark III camera. The dust and splash proof design will let me be out in damp or dusty conditions without worrying about damaging it. I like that it is light and compact.

Perfect outdoor activity lens

This lens has quality optics, weather sealing, and is extremely compact. Several online reviews say one should spend "a little more" and get the F2.8 12-40mm pro lens.

My E-M5 MIII with this lens provides exactly the quality photos with minimal size and weight I want
