ED and x4 aspherical lenses, all configured to keep your images free of aberrations and flare that normally occur when zooming. Your images will be high resolution from the center to the edges.

ZERO Coating
Not only do we use some of the best glass in the world, but we also use an advanced coating that suppresses ghosting and flares.

Fluorine Coating
When your lens gets wet, you need to wipe it clean before you take your next shot. With a fluorine coating, you can get rid of the water quickly. One wipe and it's gone. No streaks or water droplets are left behind. You'll clean your lens faster and more efficiently, so you can get back to shooting sooner.

Compact excellence
Big, bulky lenses are a nuisance to lug around. That's why the OM system is one of the most compact in the world. The idea is that you can get your best performance with less weight and bulk. The 12-40mm lens fits right in there. It weighs just 382g - 50% lighter than other 35mm format mirrorless lenses - and has a diameter of 69.9mm. That means it's lightweight and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. It's the perfect blend of TOP image quality and compactness.

Designed for you
If you shoot outdoors a lot, you'll appreciate that the lens is rugged and durable. It's made entirely of metal, so it can withstand a lot of bumps and shocks. Just by holding it in your hand, you can feel the exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. It's made with the very latest manufacturing technologies and works with the utmost precision so you can put your best foot forward.

P53 dustproof and splashproof
Sometimes you need to shoot in less than perfect conditions. You might use a rain cover and lug around extra gear. With our IP53 rated lens, you don't have to worry about the conditions. It's splashproof and dustproof. You can also use it in sub-freezing temperatures as low as -10°C. That's because it's protected by an advanced system of seals that ensures you can always work, no matter how rough it gets out there.
