OVERVIEW
Covering a versatile zoom range in a compact package, M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III Lens from OM SYSTEM is a 28-84mm equivalent lens for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. The optical design uses three aspherical elements to correct for distortion and spherical aberration, providing sharpness and clarity in a portable form factor. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm contributes to beautiful, soft bokeh with smooth focus falloff.
Compact Barrel Design
A collapsible locking barrel allows the lens to measure only 2" long when not in use for extreme portability. In order to start photographing, the lens must be extended to reach the 14mm minimum focal length.
Weighing only 4.4 oz, this lens won't add significant weight to your camera setup, making it easy to bring with you for a long day of shooting.
Additional Details
A 5.1" minimum focusing distance allows you to focus on small and extremely close subjects, massively expanding your range of potential subjects.
IPX1 weather-resistant construction paired with an OM SYSTEM weather-resistant body enables you to use the lens in inclement weather.
