OM SYSTEM 8-25mm f4 M.Zuiko PRO Digital ED Lens

A dynamic wide-angle zoom, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f/4 PRO from OM SYSTEM is an ultra-wide Micro Four Thirds zoom lens with the equivalent full-frame format zoom range of 16-50mm. Its sophisticated optical design, which includes a variety of aspherical, low dispersion, and high refractive index elements, reduces both chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range for notable clarity, sharpness, and colour accuracy. A ZERO lens coating has also been applied to improve contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. Beyond the advanced lens design, this zoom is also characterised by its constant f/4 maximum aperture, as well as its durable weather-sealed construction for working in a variety of conditions. Additionally, a Movie & Still Compatible autofocus system achieves fast, smooth, and silent focusing performance, and a manual focus clutch affords instant switching between focusing methods. The VCM (Voice Coil Motor) optical image stabilisation minimises the appearance of camera shake for steady handheld operation.

Compact wide angle zoom

Weighing just 411 g and only 8.85 cm high, this ultra-wide angle, with 3.1x zoom magnification pro lens goes anywhere you go with ease. Enjoy more shooting versatility with a fixed F4.0 aperture that runs through the full 16-50mm (35mm equivalent) focal range. With the convenient retracting mechanism, simply turn the zoom ring to extend the lens for smooth, easy shooting.

Pro performance

Made with some of the world’s finest glass, an array of precision-cut elements work together to eliminate chromatic aberration and minimise ghosting and flare. Capture high resolution images with spectacular edge-to-edge sharpness at every focal point, even when the lens is set at the widest aperture.

Close-up shooting performance with a maximum magnification of 0.42x

Enjoy macro shooting with a maximum shooting magnification of 0.42x for performance that rivals that of a half-macro lens. The closest focusing distance is 0.23 meters across the entire zoom range making it possible to adjust the field of view with the zoom ring on the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25 mm F4.0 PRO. This lens also supports Focus Stacking, which merges multiple images into a single photo to create an image with focus from the foreground to background in the camera, enabling stunning macro photos that are sharp from front to back.

Reliable dustproof, splashproof, and freezeproof performance and superb controls

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm F4.0 PRO features the superb splashproof and dustproof performance of IPX1 equivalent and freezeproof performance to -10°C for a high level of reliability unique to the M.Zuiko PRO series. When paired with the OM SYSTEM OM-1 and OM-5 series, this lens can be used with peace of mind in demanding environments such as rain and snow. Fluorine coating used on the front lens allows for cleaning with ease. The front element optical design of the M.ZUIKO Digital ED 8-25mm F4.0 PRO allows filters can be attached despite featuring ultra wide-angle 16 mm equivalent performance. Attaching Polarising (PL) or Neutral Density (ND) filters with a diameter of 72 mm allows for a versatile range of photographic expressions. The Manual Focus Clutch provides instant switching between auto and manual focusing and an L-Fn (lens function) button is available on the side of the lens so users can change settings with a single operation using their thumb while holding the camera.

Key Features

- Ultra wide-angle to portrait-length zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras provides an 8-25mm equivalent focal length range.
