    MOST POWERFUL IS

    The 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO features effective in-lens image stabilization. On its own, this lens provides up to 5 shutter speed steps of compensation. Even better, pair the lens with a compatible OM-D or PEN camera body to get a tandem of image stabilization systems – one in the body and one in the lens. This creates 5-Axis Sync IS, the world’s most powerful image stabilization system. It provides up to 7.5 shutter speed steps of compensation with the OM-D E-M1X or E-M1 Mark III (6.5 shutter steps of compensation with the E-M1 Mark II or E-M5 Mark III) at 200mm (35mm equivalent), compensating for all types of camera motion. Leave your tripod at home and shoot stunningly sharp handheld telephoto images and video.

    *5-Axis Sync IS, when using a compatible OM-D or PEN camera body. As of September 2016.

    DESIGNED FOR CHALLENGING CONDITIONS

    If you can handle shooting in adverse conditions, so can the 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO lens. Its pro-quality metal construction is hermetically sealed to keep out moisture and dust for splashproof, dustproof, and freezeproof performance. Pair this lens with a weatherproof OM-D body so that you can take advantage of every photo opportunity without ever worrying about your equipment.

    CLOSE ENCOUNTERS MADE EASY

    We designed the 12-100mm f4.0 PRO so that you can shoot near and far, even at exceedingly close range. This lens has a minimum working distance of 1.5 cm at the widest focal length, or just over half an inch from the front of the lens, for effortless macro shooting. The maximum magnification of .60x (35mm equivalent) lets you capture small details on small objects. Capture exquisitely textured shots of flowers, insects, jewelry or any other object where you need to get close, no additional lens required.

    PORTABILITY AND UTILITY

    Let’s start with the obvious: the 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO (24-200mm 35mm equivalent) is pretty small. At approximately 21 ounces, it’s lightweight to carry all day and compact to easily fit in a small bag. It captures amazing images with its constant f4.0 aperture, edge-to-edge sharpness, and minimal distortion at all focal lengths. By comparison, it typically takes two professional lenses to cover the broad focal range of the 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO. This single lens makes for a lighter, more streamlined system. Smaller is better for travel, nature photography, and everyday convenience.

    SUPERIOR OPTICS

    The 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO lens boasts a lavish collection of 17 lens elements in 11 groups. This remarkable combination ensures superior resolution, sharpness, and suppressed aberration. Cutting-edge lens materials and manufacturing processes help to make these special elements smaller, so this professional lens boasts a compact form without sacrificing image quality. Use the 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO in all shooting situations. Z Coating Nano, our most advanced lens coating, is nanoparticle-based and practically eliminates ghosting and flares caused by in-frame light. Plus, the near-silent MSC focusing mechanism compliments the precise, high-speed AF for crisp stills and smooth video.

    CONVENIENCE AND CONTROL

    The 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO makes it easy to get the shots you need. The customizable Lens Function button lets you easily control your choice of camera functions right from the lens barrel. Programmable functions include Focus Peaking, AF Stop, and Magnify. The focus ring is equipped with a Manual Focus Clutch that allows you to quickly switch back and forth between manual and autofocus. You can even preset a focus position using the easy-to-read distance meter and instantly return to that position from AF Mode by simply pulling the ring towards you.

Lens is a terrific addition and rejuvenated my desire to take pictures.

This lens was as expected. Very sharp, fast focusing, and very flexible to use with my E-M5 III. While it is on the heavier side, not having to bring two lenses out is a bonus. That and the quality of the physical body is very slick. <br /> <br />Taking pictures with it has been a bit of an awakening as this is my first Pro lens. The Sync IS definitely lives up to the hype as it is rock solid in use. <br /> <br />Overall very please in having this and refreshed my desire to carry the camera with me and take some pictures

A Traveling Lense I'll Go To Often

I wanted to augment my E-M1 Mark III for travel, and I did not want to haul a lot of lenses to assault the Bay Area. Wine Country, and even the east coast towns I will soon return to re-explore. These lenses are well built, wide-ranging, and the weather will not be a factor, as I meander over terra firma. From my test shots in the backyard, I am seeing the expansive potential of the lense and I am literally stoked to travel with it. As usual, Olympus does not disappoint here.
