Product Details / Description:

This lens is considered a cornerstone of the M.ZUIKO PRO line, delivering optical quality and speed typically associated with much larger and heavier full-frame lenses. Its portability and weather sealing make it an ideal companion for outdoor and action photography across Japan.

About the Product

The optical construction is highly advanced, featuring 16 elements in 10 groups, including lavish use of specialized glass: one Aspherical ED lens, two Aspherical lenses, one Super ED lens, three ED lenses, and one HD lens. This configuration effectively suppresses various aberrations, delivering outstanding sharpness and image quality across the entire zoom range, even wide open at F2.8. The lens employs a unique DUAL VCM (Voice Coil Motor) focusing system which drives two separate internal lens groups simultaneously, enabling high-precision, high-speed, and extremely quiet autofocus performance suitable for rapid action and video.

The lens maintains a fixed physical length due to its inner zoom mechanism, improving its balance and making it exceptionally comfortable to handle and use with gimbals or monopods. It features a close minimum focusing distance of 0.7m across all focal lengths, offering an equivalent maximum magnification of 0.42x, which is excellent for detailed close-up photography. As a PRO lens, it features robust dust-proof and drip-proof sealing, guaranteeing its reliability when shooting in harsh weather conditions.

Faqs:

Why is a constant F2.8 aperture important for a zoom lens?

A constant F2.8 aperture ensures that the brightness and depth of field remain the same throughout the zoom range. This is essential for professional shooting where you need consistent exposure when zooming and the ability to maintain fast shutter speeds in low light, especially at the telephoto end.

Is this lens compatible with teleconverters?

Yes, this lens is fully compatible with the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 1.4x Teleconverter MC-14 (extending reach to 420mm F4.0 equivalent) and the 2x Teleconverter MC-20 (extending reach to 600mm F5.6 equivalent).

What is the benefit of the DUAL VCM focus system?

The DUAL VCM (Voice Coil Motor) system allows for two lens groups to be driven independently, resulting in extremely high-speed, precise, and quiet focusing. This speed is vital for tracking fast-moving subjects common in sports and wildlife photography.

How does the inner zoom mechanism help the user?

An inner zoom means the lens physically does not extend when you zoom in or out. This keeps the lens’s center of gravity constant, improving balance on a camera body and making it much more stable when shooting from a monopod or tripod.

Is the tripod mount removable?

Yes, the tripod mount ring is included and is fully removable. The lens can be used with or without the mount, depending on whether you are shooting handheld or using support.
