Product Overview
This is OM System’s take on the everyday standard zoom, built around the familiar standard-zoom idea but with a little extra reach at the long end. Covering 28-84mm equivalent, it moves easily from wide scenes to portraits and detail shots, one lens for most of what a day out throws at you.
The Micro Four Thirds format and retractable build keep it small enough to carry without thinking twice, while this third generation adds dust resistance and IPX1-equivalent splash protection when paired with a compatible dust and splashproof camera. The retracting mechanism has also been redesigned as a click-type operation, so there’s no separate switch to fumble with when packing up.
In More Detail
One optic, plenty of possibilities
Having variable framing available without changing optics is useful when exploring a new place, spending a day with friends or simply heading out without knowing what you’ll find. It also gives photographers starting with an interchangeable-lens system the freedom to experiment with different perspectives before deciding whether something wider, longer or brighter belongs in the bag.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is it for?
It makes a good first choice for photographers who want to experiment with different perspectives before investing in something more specialised. It’s equally useful for anyone who prefers heading out with a single general-purpose option rather than choosing several primes.
Is it good for portraits?
Yes. Moving towards the longer end provides a narrower field of view and comfortable working distance for photographing people. A brighter prime will offer greater control over shallow depth of field and low-light shooting, but with less freedom to alter framing from one position.
Is it suitable for travel?
Yes. The retractable construction takes up less space when packed away, while the breadth of coverage means you can respond to different situations without taking a larger collection of optics.
Can I use it in changeable weather?
Yes. Dust resistance and IPX1-equivalent splash protection provide additional reassurance in light rain when paired with a compatible dust and splashproof camera. It isn’t waterproof and should still be protected from heavier exposure.
