Well suited for travel, street, and portrait photography, the Olympus M. Zuiko 12–40mm f/2.8 will quickly earn its place in your everyday kit. Its superior optics and fully weather-sealed, all-metal construction make it a favorite of professionals and enthusiasts alike, and its small size means you’ll never have to leave it behind. The fast maximum aperture throughout the zoom range delivers sharp image quality, even in low-light conditions. Meanwhile, the MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism makes for nearly silent autofocus—great for shooting skittish nature subjects or capturing your child’s piano recital. Adjust the settings on the fly with the programmable L-Fn function button built into the lens barrel, and switch seamlessly between auto and manual focus using the manual focus clutch.
