Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

The M.ZUIKO PRO series large-aperture single focal length lens with an F1.2 maximum aperture achieves beautifully blurred bokeh and high resolution performance at a high dimension.

- Beautifully blurred bokeh and high resolution at a high level of descriptive performance
Beautifully blurred bokeh is a type of bokeh that melts from the focus plane to the out-of-focus plane, smoothly depicting the background and giving the main subject, such as a person, a more three-dimensional effect.
To achieve beautifully blurred bokeh, we use an aberration measuring instrument that measures bokeh at the aberration level. The ultra-precise aberration measuring instrument, created using high-precision measurement technology cultivated through the development of cutting-edge microscopes, enables us not only to develop lenses that minimize aberrations, but also to develop lenses that retain optimal aberrations for the quality of beautiful bokeh.

In the "M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 45mm F1.2 PRO," the proper arrangement of the 3-element junction lens including the ED lens effectively corrects color smearing at out-focus (axial chromatic aberration) and color smearing at the periphery of the image (lateral chromatic aberration), which are issues with large aperture lenses. Thus, the 10-group, 14-element lens configuration, which makes lavish use of special lenses, achieves beautifully blurred bokeh and high optical performance that captures dots on dots from the widest aperture.
In addition, as with the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm F1.2 PRO, the effective use of the Z Coating Nano coating technology, which delivers a clear, bright image, significantly reduces ghosting and flare even when shooting in backlit conditions.

- High-speed and high-precision AF
Despite the large aperture of the lens, the MSC (Movie and Still Compatible) mechanism is employed to achieve fast and quiet focusing by using a lightweight focusing unit. Since the image phase detection AF has no limit to the AF light flux, when combined with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, the 121-point all-cross image phase detection AF system allows the subject to be focused on in a wide range and with high precision, even when an F1.2 large aperture lens is attached.
The use of face-priority and pupil-priority AF, which has been highly acclaimed by professional photographers, is also an effective tool for portrait photography that takes advantage of the bokeh created by a large aperture lens.

- Compact and lightweight, dustproof and drip-proof, and resistant to low temperatures (-10°C)
The F1.2 large aperture single focal length series has achieved an overwhelmingly compact and lightweight system that is unrivaled by other companies.
The same operability is achieved by keeping the overall length and maximum diameter almost the same size. Furthermore, by unifying the filter diameters, the same lens filters, such as ND and PL filters, can be used.
The F1.2 large aperture single focal length series is dustproof, drip-proof, and resistant to low temperatures (-10°C) common to the "M.ZUIKO PRO" series, making it possible to shoot in all weather conditions.

- High Close-up Photography Capability
The "M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 45mm F1.2 PRO" has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm and a maximum magnification of 0.1x (0.2x in 35mm format), and like the "M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm F1.2 PRO, has top-class close-up shooting capability.

- Design
Usability that meets the demands of professional photographers. The front focus ring can be operated comfortably even when used with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, which has a large grip, and the L-Fn button is positioned on a gently curved surface for smooth access.
In addition, the manual focus clutch mechanism allows you to instantly switch to manual focus by pulling the focus ring toward you.
