Main Features

1. Standard lens with world-first f2.0 aperture
A professional type standard zoom lens with high f2.0 brightness throughout a zoom range equivalent to 28-70 mm of 35 mm camera lenses, this lens makes extensive use of ED and aspheric lens elements to eliminate chromatic aberrations and distortion, this lens boasts the highest imaging performance in our lens lineup, performance that is possible only with the FourThirds System. Other benefits of this superb lens include a focusing system that uses floating and inner focusing mechanisms to enable close-up shooting capability as close as 35 cm across the range � the best performance available in this class of professional lenses.

Together with the high-speed shutter, as well as the soft, beautiful blur proper to the large f2 aperture, these features set this high-definition standard zoom lens apart from the rest, making it ideal for almost any application � from landscapes and portraits to indoor shooting and photo-journalism.

2. SWD for ultra-fast autofocusing
The newly developed Olympus-original SWD has made possible an ultra-fast, whisper-quiet, high-precision AF system. Two compact, high-power supersonic wave drive devices drive autofocusing at an ultra-high speed by exciting unique elliptical oscillations, while an ultra-compact optical encoder detects and controls the lens drive position using direct rotation detection without a reduction gear, enabling extraordinary 1/1000 mm-order precision.

Other Features

* Mechanically interlocked manual focusing mechanism
Mechanical interlocking of the manual focusing mechanism allows smooth, natural manual focusing with an extremely high level of precision. Seamless switching from AF to MF is possible at any time thanks to the Full-Time Manual Focusing function,

* Circular aperture mechanism
The circular aperture makes it possible to create a smooth, uniform, aesthetically pleasing blur.

* Large lens hood with a polarization filter adjustment window
The lens hood has a sliding window to facilitate rotation of the polarization filter if one is used.

* Reliable dust-proof/drip-proof mechanism
To support photography in the extreme conditions often faced by professionals, the external finish is sealed at multiple points for maximum protection from dust and spray.
