Olympus 12-200mm F3.5-6.3 WP Zoom

The new standard when considering all-rounder lenses for the Micro Four Thirds mount, is this Olympus 12-200mm lens. This lens provides a 24-400mm equivalent zoom range, which is all the reach you would want in your daily shooting. Exceptionally long at its maximum zoom, this lens can reach out across fields for an adequately tight crop, while the 24mm equivalent at the wide end is ideal for fitting all the details in for landscape shooting. Maximising on its usability, the Olympus 12-200mm zoom even provides a closest focus of 22cm at the wide end, so you can get in close and focus on the smaller details around you.

Fitting for an MFT compatible lens, the Olympus 12-200mm zoom is host to Olympus' Movie and Stills compatible autofocus, so you can experience just as much success when experimenting with your cameras high-resolution movie mode, as you will with its still shooting. Optically, the lens is reliable throughout, owing to a range of high-end optical elements in its construction, as well as Olympus' anti-reflective ZERO coating. Physically, the lens is not one to back out of a shoot at the first sign of a shower, thanks to its rugged dust and splash-proof construction.
