Designed to deliver versatile coverage without adding bulk to your camera bag, the OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III Lens is a compact standard zoom for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Its 28-84mm equivalent focal-length range covers everything from wide-angle landscapes and travel photography to portraits, street scenes, and everyday snapshots, making it an excellent all-purpose lens for daily shooting.
The optical design incorporates three aspherical elements to help minimize distortion and spherical aberrations while producing sharp, clear images throughout the zoom range. A 7-blade rounded diaphragm helps create smooth, natural-looking bokeh and pleasing transitions between in-focus and out-of-focus areas.
Portability is at the heart of the M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III. Its collapsible locking barrel allows the lens to retract to just 2" long when not in use, making it exceptionally easy to carry on compact Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Before shooting, simply extend the lens to its 14mm position to unlock its full zoom range. At just 4.4 oz, the lens adds minimal weight to your camera, making it particularly well suited for travel, walking around town, and all-day shooting.
With a 5.1" minimum focusing distance, the M.Zuiko 14-42mm III can focus remarkably close, allowing you to photograph smaller subjects and details while maintaining the versatility of a standard zoom. This close-focusing capability expands the lens's usefulness for food, flowers, products, travel details, and everyday subjects.
The lens features IPX1-rated weather resistance when paired with a compatible weather-resistant OM SYSTEM camera body. This protection helps you continue shooting in light rain and other challenging outdoor conditions, making the M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III a practical choice for travel and everyday photography.
Combining a versatile 28-84mm equivalent zoom range, compact collapsible construction, close-focusing capability, and weather-resistant design, the OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III Lens is built for photographers who want maximum versatility with minimum size and weight. It is an ideal everyday zoom for Micro Four Thirds shooters who value portability without giving up the flexibility of an interchangeable-lens system.
