Superior optical performance. The stunning clarity, sharp resolution all the way to the edges, and soft, circular bokeh ensure exceptional image quality that captivates viewers. The maximum F2.8 aperture remains constant from wide-angle to telephoto. Five ED lens elements, aspherical lenses, and HD lens elements are used to minimize aberrations from infinity to close-up focus. ZERO Coating thoroughly eliminates ghosting and flare. The lens surface is coated with ZERO (Zuiko Extra low Reflection Optical) Coating, which has high transmittance and completely eliminates ghosting and flare, which are difficult to prevent. This ZERO Coating boasts clear imaging performance even in adverse conditions such as backlight. Excellent Mobility: With its outstanding mobility, you can enjoy shooting exactly as you want, anywhere. The lens length remains constant even when zooming. The inner zoom system maintains the lens length at all focal lengths, minimizing changes in the center of gravity for stable holding and operability. Close-up shooting at 70cm from the image plane (approximately 50cm from the tip of the lens) is possible throughout the entire zoom range. The floating lens correction effect of the DUAL VCM Focus System allows for a minimum focusing distance of 70cm (distance from the image plane) throughout the entire zoom range, while maintaining high image quality. Dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof for peace of mind even in harsh environments. It boasts powerful dustproof and splashproof performance that lets you shoot even in the rain, as well as freezeproof performance (down to -10°C). It's perfect for any location or occasion.
