With the addition of the M.Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO, the PRO series now provides a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 from ultra wide-angle to telephoto.
Excelent Image quality represented of breath-taking clarity, edge to edge overwhelming resolution of the image, and soft, circular defocusing effects are sure to captivate users. Lens provides constant F2.8 aperture throughout its entire zoom range from wide angle all the way to telephoto. The lens is made up of five ED lenses, aspherical lenses, and HD lenses for thorough suppression of various aberration from infinite distance to extreme close-ups. Here is the Olympus' best optical performance.
Overwhelming resolution that captures each and every eyelash
Soft, beautiful circular shaped defocusing effect
ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) Coating is applied to the lens surface to thoroughly eliminate ghosts and flares. ZERO Coating boasts clear image quality even under challenging conditions such as a backlit settings.

The lens combined with OM-D camera bodies to create a very stable shooting platform because the lens length remains unchanged when zooming. Lens utilizes an inner zoom mechanism.
The lens offers faster focusing performance and improved accuracy. Thease are acheived by Dual VCM focusing system (floating lens focusing technology) that uses two linear motors that is for the first time in any lens. The system is capable for both still images and movies.
Linear motor drive unit
Dual VCM focusing system (moving two lens groups simultaneously with two linear motors) improves focusing speed as well as close-up shooting performance.
Dual VCM focusing system achieves outstanding closest focusing distance performance of 70cm from the image sensor (approx. 50cm from the front lens) at all zoom ranges while maintaining excellent image quality.
A reliable dustproof, splashproof and freeze-proof (-10°C) construction is capable to take pictures under any shooting environments.
Special sealing materials that prevents dusts and water splashes from entering into the body
The lens is equipped with the MF clutch mechanism that enables switching between autofocus and manualfocus mode with one quick action. This mechanism makes pre-focusing possible for quick shooting.
1. L-Fn function button
L-Fn function button provided on the lens. You can assgin one of your most frequent use function, such as pause autofocus fuction as well as other fuctions available from camera custom settings.
The LH-76 lens hood (included in the box) that can be retracted by sliding back on the lens when storeing the hood. The hood also has a lock mechanism.
A three-layer construction purse-string type lens case (included in the box) securely protects the lens. This all-in-one lens case can also be stored with the lens hood, lens cap, protection filter and teleconverter remain attached on the lens.
This high-performance teleconverter doubles the focal length. It features a 9-element, 4-group lens construction (1 HR lens) and utilises the high image quality and superb optical performance of a master lens. The lightweight, compact 150-gram body features splashproof, dustproof, and freezeproof performance. Compatible lenses are the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F2.8 PRO and M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO.
The MC-14 can extend s its focal distance of the lens attached to 1.4x. This converter has been constructed of 6 elements lens (including 1 HR lens) in 3 groups with metal exterior parts in a thin form. It provide dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof performance with virtually no image degradation. The MC-14 is compatible with the M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F2.8 PRO and the M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4 IS PRO.
This protection filter protects lenses from scratches. ZERO Coating is applied on both sides of the lens sureface, and a satin, glare reducing black alumite aluminum frame is also used. Flares and ghosts are suppressed with anti-reflection properties.
This decoration ring covers the screws that get exposed when the tripod collar is removed. Not only does it maintain the texture of the body when the collar is removed, but provides a better grip for hand-held shooting.
This bag can store three f/2.8 PRO lenses and an OM-D. A separately available camera case (CS-42SF) or the sub-case can be attached to the sides of the bag to extend its functionality. Sturdy 2525D polyester is used for the outer material so the camera bag can be used even when shooting in severe environments.
