The M.Zuiko PRO lenses are designed for maximum performance and feature a fast aperture and weather-sealed construction

Strongest IS

The 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO features effective in-lens image stabilization. On its own, this lens offers compensation of up to 5 shutter speed steps. It gets even better when you combine the lens with a compatible OM-D or PEN camera body to get dual image stabilization - one in the body and one in the lens. This creates the 5-axis Sync IS, the most powerful image stabilization system in the world. It compensates for up to 7.5 shutter speed steps with the OM-D E-M1X or E-M1 Mark III (6.5 shutter speed steps with the E-M1 Mark II or E-M5 Mark III) at 200mm (35mm equivalent) and compensates for all camera movements.

Designed for challenging conditions

If you can cope with adverse conditions, so can the 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO lens. Its high-quality metal construction is hermetically sealed to keep out moisture and dust and to be splash-proof, dust-proof and frost-proof. Combine this lens with a weather-sealed OM-D body so you can take advantage of any photo opportunity without worrying about your gear.

Close encounters made easy

The 12-100mm F4.0 PRO is designed to let you take close-up and long-distance shots, even at extremely long range. This lens has a minimum working distance of 1.5 cm at the longest focal length, just over a centimeter from the front of the lens, for effortless macro shots. With the maximum magnification of 0.60x (35mm equivalent), you can capture small details on small objects.

Portability and usefulness

Let's start with the obvious: The 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO (24-200mm 35mm equivalent) is pretty small. At around 340g, it's light enough to carry every day and compact enough to fit easily into a small bag. With its constant f4.0 aperture, edge-to-edge sharpness and minimal distortion, it takes amazing pictures at any focal length. In comparison, you would normally need two professional lenses to cover the wide focal length range of the 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO. This one lens makes the system lighter and slimmer. Smaller is better for travel, nature photography and everyday comfort.

Superior optics

The 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO lens has a rich collection of 17 elements in 11 groups. This remarkable combination ensures outstanding resolution, sharpness and suppressed aberration. State-of-the-art lens materials and manufacturing processes help make these special elements smaller, giving this professional lens a compact shape without compromising image quality. Use the 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO in all shooting situations. Z Coating Nano, our most advanced lens coating, is based on nanoparticles and virtually eliminates ghosting and flare caused by the light in the image. The near-silent MSC focusing mechanism complements the precise high-speed AF for razor-sharp photos and smooth video.

Convenience and control

The 12-100mm F4.0 IS PRO makes it easy to get the shots you need. With the customizable lens function button, you can control a range of camera functions directly on the lens barrel. Programmable functions include Focus Peaking, AF Stop and Magnify. The focus ring is equipped with a manual focus clutch that allows you to quickly switch back and forth between manual and autofocus.
