Glass That's Extra Sharp

Olympus has a global reputation for exceptional image quality. And our line of M.Zuiko lenses is a big reason for the razor sharpness you see in our photos. The M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO lens uses a powerful combination of advanced glass. Its uses ED, DSA and Super HR lenses to generate sharpness right to the edge of the frame and across the entire zoom range. A ZERO lens coating reduces ghosts and flares.

Flourine Coating

When your lens gets wet, you need to wipe it clean before taking the next shot. A fluorine coating lets you get rid of the water quickly. One wipe and its gone. No streaking or waterdrops left behind. You’ll clean your lens quickly and more efficiently so you’ll get back to shooting faster.
