Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40 mm F2.8 PRO Lens, Universal Zoom, Suitable for All MFT Cameras (Olympus OM-D & PEN Models, Panasonic G-Series), Black

Product Information

The lens is capable of various styles of macro shooting and includes support for Focus Stacking which is useful for close-up shooting. As M4/3 matured though, the high end of the system grew aspirations to move into the pro space, with cameras like Olympus's OM-D range and Panasonic's GH models offering top-end features and build quality to match the best SLRs. Where Canon and Sony can focus on a scene and then immediately pick a subject out, OM System still lags behind a bit.

Bokeh: There's enough spherical aberration that out of focus highlights get the "corona" effect, where the edge of an even circle of light is a bit different in brightness than the centers. For sure there is no more stealth factor, as the lens is pretty big, and there are no lens markings for hyperfocal focusing or zone focusing, but there are a few advantages.Its sophisticated optical design, which includes a variety of aspherical, low dispersion, and high refractive index elements, reduces both chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range for notable clarity, sharpness, and color accuracy. Even the front lens cap, which uses the pinch-type release, is nicely done and easy to use by touch.

It’s a little long and heavy on the front of the camera so sometimes feels a little awkward, but it’s also built like an absolute tank.

You and Don have gotten some really wonderful images – what’s your take on the usability of the Pen-F? It was made with the very latest manufacturing technologies that works with pinpoint precision so you can work at your best.

The lens balances very nicely on the front of an E-M1, a bit less so on the E-M10, and it’s frightening large on the smallest Panasonic bodies (e.It's a really neat mechanism and a nice way to add some feel' back into the manual focusing process. If you have a function specific to the way you shoot like Magnify, Peaking or Digital Teleconverter, you can assign one of them to a button on the lens barrel and access it instantly. The petal-shaped lens hood locks onto the front of the lens, bayonet-style, and adds only about one inch of extra length (and barely any extra width). might seem fast, but on the m4/3s format it is indeed a pretty limiting factor, as it forces you to raise your iso quickly as light gets dimmer, and makes it difficult to get much out of focus (or any at all.

It also securely locks onto the front flanges and two push-button locks must be pressed to remove the lens hood -- a nice touch! In MF mode the ring has hard stops at both ends of the scale, whereas in AF mode the MF ring continuously rotates. The Panasonic’s performance is a bit more even as the lens can get slightly higher results on stopping down – it seems you should simply choose an option you personally care more about. From outdoor shooting to action situations or a fashion show, the lens works very well with the camera.Thank goodness, as Olympus small lens caps on their less specified lenses are a real pain to use with gloves on. This week away is a prime example- I have brought extra stuff out of a force of habit, but the extra lens, the dust blower and loads of my extras lived either in my bag or AirBNB and didn’t see the light of day. Photojournalists, landscape photographers, travel photographers, and passionate photographers who like taking photos in the rain will all adore this lens. It is clear, though, that the exceptionally good performance in the 12-25 mm range was paid for by weaker results at the maximum focal length.
