Product details

A classic design, a robust metal housing and excellent optical properties are the hallmarks of the powerful M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12 mm 1:2.0 (24 mm equivalent to a 35mm camera). With a focal length of 24
mm and a 1:2.0 light intensity, it is ideal for low light conditions when flash or tripod are unavailable, as well as for landscapes and indoor shots from short distances.

Directly on the lens ring you can change from AF to manual focus and read the depth of field - top for snapshots. The high-quality ZERO (ZUIKO Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating of the lenses and a DSA (Dual Super-Aspherical) element guarantee high image quality. The wide angle is now available in black as standard, as is the LH-48 lens hood.

650 Euro kostet das M-Zuiko 2/12 mm. Es ist bereits recht lange im Markt, doch als Weitwinkeloptik bleibt es ein guter Kauf. Offen liegen Auflösung und Kontrast in der Bildmitte auf gutem Niveau. Der Randabfall der Auflösung passt, beim Kontrast sollte er geringer sein. Unsere Messung bei Blende 4 liefert für die Bildmitte bereits sehr gute Messwerte...

Das 12-Millimeter-F2.0-Objektiv von Olympus überzeugt mit exzellenter Abbildungsleistung und hervorragendem Design. Straßenfotografen, die viel manuell fokussieren, dürften an dieser Festbrennweite kaum vorbeikommen. Angesichts der hohen Anschaffungskosten hätten wir allerdings eine Gegenlichtblende im Lieferumfang erwartet.
