Sometimes all you want is one lens that can do it all. Olympus is aiming to make you happy with its release of the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Lens for Micro Four Thirds. Being equivalent to a 24-400mm—Olympus's largest zoom range—this lens is truly an all-in-one. Capture landscapes, portraits, sports, wildlife, and practically anything else you can imagine with a quick twist of the zoom ring. It even stays relatively lightweight at just 1 lb, and compact at 3.05 x 3.93", thanks in part to a conservative f/3.5-6.3 maximum aperture range.
A quite complete feature set expands the versatility of this lens, including the ability to focus as close as 8.7" and achieve a maximum magnification of 0.44x for close-up photography. High-speed autofocus ensures you won't miss a shot in stills or video, while a ZERO coating minimizes flare and ghosting. Also, it is dustproof and splash proof, so you need not worry if you are caught in inclement weather.
How do you feel about Olympus's now most accomplished all-in-one lens and its 16.6x zoom? Are you going to pick one up? Please leave a comment below with your thoughts.
