OM SYSTEM announces new M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III lens
OM SYSTEM has announced the M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III, a new compact standard zoom lens designed to combine portability with improved close-up shooting capabilities and weather resistance.
Announced alongside the new OM SYSTEM PEN mirrorless camera, the lens covers a versatile focal-length range equivalent to 28-84mm in 35mm terms, making it suitable for a variety of subjects including everyday photography, travel, landscapes and portraits.
One of the key features of the new lens is its close-focusing capability. OM SYSTEM has designed the lens to allow photographers to get closer to their subjects, making it suitable for photographing smaller details as well as everyday scenes.
The lens also features dust- and splash-resistant construction, providing greater protection when shooting outdoors. This complements the weather-resistant design of the new OM SYSTEM PEN, allowing the camera and lens combination to be used in a wider range of conditions.
Despite incorporating weather resistance and enhanced close-up capabilities, the M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III retains the compact and lightweight characteristics associated with the Micro Four Thirds system. Its small size makes it particularly suited to photographers who want an interchangeable-lens camera that can be carried easily throughout the day.
The lens uses a 14-42mm focal-length range with a maximum aperture of F3.5-5.6, providing a useful general-purpose zoom range while keeping the lens compact.
The M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 III is being introduced as the standard zoom option for the new OM SYSTEM PEN and is intended to provide a lightweight, versatile setup for everyday and travel photography.
