Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f/2 35mm
The bright f/2 maximum aperture and 12mm focal length (24mm equivalent) make this lens a strong choice for dramatic landscapes and low-light street scenes, complemented by a full-metal body and a manual focus snap ring with a distance indicator. Its Movie & Still Compatible autofocus mechanism delivers fast, near-silent performance that benefits both video and stills shooters. This lens is best for architectural and landscape photographers who need a compact, high-speed wide-angle prime for the Micro Four Thirds system.
