OM SYSTEM M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO OM SYSTEM [Micro Four Thirds / zoom lens]

Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

A professional-use, high-performance, high-zoom zoom lens equipped with an image stabilization mechanism and featuring excellent mobility due to its compact size, lightweight, dustproof and drip-proof performance, and resistance to low temperatures (-10°C).

Compact, lightweight, high-performance zoom lens with excellent mobility for professional use
The M.ZUIKO PRO series of high-performance lenses, which meet the demands of professionals, now includes a long-awaited compact and lightweight all-in-one zoom lens. By using a special lens, the M.ZUIKO PRO series has achieved high all-in-one magnification and high resolution in a compact size.
The number of lens elements has been reduced and the overall lens length shortened by effectively correcting aberrations through the combination of DSA (large eccentricity double-sided aspheric) lenses and HR (high refractive index) or Super HR (ultra-high refractive index) lenses. This has made it possible to reduce the maximum diameter of the lens to a smaller size. This enables a single lens to cover the focal length equivalent to two standard F4 zoom lenses.
Furthermore, by using a large number of ED lenses, chromatic aberration, which is an issue on the telephoto side, has been thoroughly reduced to ensure high resolution throughout the entire zoom range, even to the periphery of the image.
In addition, the Z Coating Nano coating technology, which delivers a clear, crisp image, significantly reduces ghosting and flare in backlit and other situations and is effective when shooting with strong light sources in the frame.

5-axis Synchro Image Stabilization with the world's strongest 6.5-step*1 correction performance
The camera is equipped with an in-lens image stabilization mechanism for reliable use throughout the entire all-in-one zoom range. In addition, the 5-synchro image stabilization works in concert with the 5-axis image stabilization mechanism in the camera body to provide a 6.5-step image stabilization performance when used with a compatible camera body.
The in-lens image stabilization mechanism alone has a performance of 5 stops*1, making the lens attractive even to users of bodies without image stabilization mechanisms.

Macro function with a maximum magnification of 0.6x (35mm film camera equivalent) thanks to close-up shooting performance at a distance of 1.5cm from the lens tip
At the 12mm focal length at the wide end, the minimum focusing distance is 15cm, and the lens can get as close as 1.5cm from the lens tip, enabling macro photography with a maximum magnification of 0.3x (0.6x on a 35mm film camera equivalent) and new expressions.
At the telephoto end of 100mm (equivalent to 200mm in 35mm film format), the minimum focusing distance is 45cm, the working distance is 27cm, and the maximum magnification is 0.21x (0.42x in 35mm film format).

Other Features
Dustproof and drip-proof mechanism with 12 sealed locations; combined with the dustproof and drip-proof, low-temperature resistant body of the OM series, the camera can withstand harsh shooting environments.
The M.ZUIKO PRO series' high-quality design with a metal exterior has been retained. The “manual focus clutch mechanism” allows manual focusing by pulling the focus ring toward you. The lens barrel is also equipped with an IS switch (ON/OFF) and L-Fn button, which can be used to assign functions such as “AF stop” according to the camera's custom settings.

CIPA standard-compliant 2-axis excitation (yaw/pitch). Focal length f = 100 mm (equivalent to f = 200 mm in 35 mm format), with image stabilization turned off during half-press.
*1 CIPA standard-compliant 2-axis vibration (yaw/pitch), focal length f=100mm (35mm film camera equivalent f=200mm).
