OM System M.Zuiko 8-25mm f/4 PRO 25mm
Why we recommend this ▼
A constant f/4 aperture across an ultra-wide 16-50mm full-frame equivalent zoom range and a fully weather-sealed build make this lens a reliable field companion. The manual focus clutch and silent MSC autofocus enable fluid transitions between stills and video, while the 411g weight keeps the kit portable. It’s best for landscape and travel photographers seeking an all-in-one wide-angle zoom that can withstand inclement conditions.
OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3 200mm
Why we recommend this ▼
Its 16.6x zoom range, spanning 12–200mm (24–400mm equivalent), is the longest available in any mirrorless system. At just 455g with full weather-sealing and a 1:2.7 close-up capability, this all-in-one lens eliminates the need to carry multiple optics. It’s ideal for hikers and travel photographers who want a single, rugged lens for sweeping landscapes, distant subjects, and impromptu macro shots.
