The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II lens is the ideal choice for those who want to achieve professional results with their photography.

This compact model features an optical system consisting of nine groups (one EDA lens) that are each equipped with two aspherical lenses - HD-type glass specially placed on top so that you can benefit from all kinds of orthogonal polarization effects while still being able to take pictures under strong light sources without any loss due to it.

Zooming with this OM SYSTEM lens will give you high-resolution photos from the center of your frame to its edges. It is perfect for shooting at different zoom ranges and for using the High Res Shot mode on devices that support it.

Clearer, sharper images than ever before

A new manufacturing technique has been introduced to reduce surface dispersion on aspherical lenses, which perform significantly better in representing clear images than conventional products.

This means that glare issues will be reduced and you can expect more accurate color representation when viewing objects in bright sunlight or other lighting conditions where these errors usually become noticeable in backlit scenes.

Additionally, the ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating improves the reflection resistance of surfaces such as windows, glass, etc., allowing your eyesight to see clearly without any obstruction!

Our review of the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II

With the release of their latest flagship lens, OM System has given us a top notch lens to accompany the Olympus OM1.

The OM System 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II is an exceptional zoom lens for micro four thirds cameras that offers complete weather resistance and IP53 performance when mounted on your Olympus OM1.

This means you can shoot landscapes or any other subject outdoors, come rain, snow or sandstorms – you'll be ready for anything!

With its 12-40mm f/2.8 lens, the OM System M Zuiko Digital ED telephoto lens is a superb choice for those looking to capture their sports or event moments in high definition detail!

Thanks to special glass elements assembled using new algorithms, it offers excellent sharpness in all zoom ranges.

With the new camera capable of taking high-resolution 80-megapixel photos, this lens had to produce extremely sharp results.

From center to edge, the OM System 12-40mm F2.8 PRO II does it perfectly, thanks in part to its circular diaphragm and constant f/2.8 aperture that deliver excellent low-light performance and allow subjects that are out of focus in an image to stand out more clearly, rendering them beautifully without distractions such as blurred backgrounds or pixelation in certain areas of the photo due to the lack of visibility in the viewfinder when shooting portraits for example.

With a wide range of focal lengths and features, this zoom is sure to be on your list if you need an upgrade from the standard zooms that are on the market. It is perfect for all types of photography, as it gives users great flexibility in their shooting, while maintaining high-quality images at all times!
