The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm 1:1.2 PRO is a new ultra-bright auto-focus standard prime for the Micro Four Thirds system. "Throughout the design process, special attention was given to ensuring this 1:1.2 aperture M.ZUIKO Pro series lens renders the most stunning bokeh to greatly enhance the aesthetic quality of backgrounds – or for using the bokeh effect as the subject itself," Olympus said in a statement. "The beautiful shapes this lens delivers right up to the edges of the image and the natural defocusing effect result from the combination of the unique optical design of the lens system and its 9-bladed aperture." Additionally, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm 1:1.2 PRO lens boasts a "very fast" AF and Olympus' advanced Z Coating Nano, which effectively reduces flaring and ghosts for even sharper, clearer images. The robust, metal-build lens features a maximum magnification of 0.11x (35mm equivalent: 0.22x) and weighs in at 410g. The lens will become available in October, priced at £1099.99/€1,299.00.

An especially fast AF ensures shooting precision in all situations. This new lens from the flagship M.ZUIKO Pro series provides highest resolution and features exceptional low-light capabilities from the wide 1:1.2 maximum aperture for unrivalled sharpness and clarity right up to all corners of the frame – with jaw-dropping bokeh. And come rain, shine or snow, as with all M.ZUIKO Pro series lenses, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm 1:1.2 PRO is dust-, splash- and freezeproof to never let you down – no matter the assignment. It will become available from October 2016 at a recommended retail price of €1,299.00.

Highest image quality

The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm 1:1.2 PRO incorporates the latest optical technology to deliver highest edge-to-edge resolution results. Together with the exceptionally bright 1:1.2 maximum lens aperture, professional performance is assured in even the most challenging shooting environments. Furthermore, advanced Z Coating Nano guarantees the reduction of ghosting and flaring for even sharper, clearer image perfection.

Magnificent bokeh

Throughout the design process, special attention was given to ensuring this 1:1.2 aperture M.ZUIKO Pro series lens renders the most stunning bokeh to greatly enhance the aesthetic quality of backgrounds – or for using the bokeh effect as the subject itself. The beautiful shapes this lens delivers right up to the edges of the image and the natural defocusing effect result from the combination of the unique optical design of the lens system and its 9-bladed aperture.

Very fast AF, flexibility and professional handling

Often, you only get the one chance for that unique shot. That’s why photographers must be able to rely on their equipment to be ready when they are. The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm 1:1.2 PRO boasts a very fast autofocus system ensuring subjects are frozen in time, in an instant, and in razor sharp splendour – no matter if for a single shot or for shooting sequences in rapid succession. A distinctive construction makes this possible; of all 19 optical elements, only one element has to be moved for focussing, allowing for an ultra-fast autofocus.

A construction for stresses and strains

Allowing you to keep shooting when others have to pack up and head home, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm 1:1.2 PRO features protection against dust, splashes and sub-zero temperatures – like all lenses in the M.ZUIKO Pro series. The robust, metal-build lens features a maximum magnification of 0.11x (35mm equivalent: 0.22x) and weighs in at 410g.

Built to satisfy professional demands for high end, high-resolution photography and exceptional bokeh, the extremely bright M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm 1:1.2 PRO delivers on all counts, becoming available from October 2016 at a recommended retail price €1,299.00.
