The M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ, a product of OM SYSTEM, stands out with its slender pancake design, perfectly complementing Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Its compactness belies a broad-to-portrait-length zoom, equivalent to a 28-84mm focal range, making it a versatile choice for diverse shooting scenarios, from sweeping landscapes to intimate portraits. The lens's featherlight and transportable nature renders it particularly apt for travel and day-to-day photography.
Advanced Optical Construction
The lens features an advanced optical design incorporating three aspherical elements, one Super-High Refractive Index (S-HR) element, and one extra-low dispersion element. These components work together to minimise spherical aberrations and distortion whilst suppressing chromatic aberrations and colour fringing. The result is consistently sharp and clear images across the entire zoom range, with excellent colour accuracy.
ZERO Coating for Enhanced Image Quality
Each optical element of the lens is treated with a ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating. This coating reduces lens flare and ghosting, even when shooting in strong or challenging lighting conditions. The application of ZERO coating ensures high contrast and faithful colour reproduction, enhancing overall image quality whether photographing stills or recording video.
Smooth Electronic Zoom
The M.Zuiko 14-42mm EZ is equipped with an Electronic Zoom mechanism that uses a linear motor to deliver smooth and precise zoom movements. This feature allows for cinematic zooming effects during video recording, with two selectable zoom speeds to suit different subjects and shooting styles. The smooth operation is ideal for professional-looking footage without abrupt changes in focal length.
Movie & Still Compatible Autofocus
The lens incorporates an MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) autofocus system, which is both quiet and fast. This system provides accurate focusing for both video and photography applications, ensuring that subjects remain sharp without distracting focus noise. Its responsive performance allows photographers and videographers to capture fleeting moments with ease.
Convenient Pancake Form Factor
Measuring just 2.29 centimetres thick, the lens maintains an exceptionally slim profile. An Electronic Retraction feature automatically extends and retracts the lens when the camera is powered on or off, adding to its portability and ease of use. This combination of compact size, smooth zooming, and reliable autofocus makes the M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm EZ a versatile and practical lens for a wide range of photography and videography needs.
