Optimized for video as well. As with stills, the lens delivers smooth and near-silent autofocus to complement video applications, and the lens is compatible with micro-step aperture control, which allows for smooth exposure changes during video.

Sophisticated optical design
This lens, featuring a unique optical design, consists of twelve elements arranged in nine groups, including two aspherical elements, to maintain a compact shape and reduce spherical aberrations and distortion.
Two extra-low dispersion elements and one extra-high refractive index element reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for enhanced color accuracy, edge-to-edge sharpness, and high resolution.

Versatile focusing performance
Smooth and near-silent autofocus operation complements movie shooting applications, while fast operation is beneficial for stills.
Excellent image performance with a mechanical design that suppresses focus breathing. Also compatible with micro-step aperture control, which allows for smooth exposure changes during movie shooting.

Universal functionality
A lightweight and robust wide-angle model designed specifically for mirrorless digital cameras "Micro Four Thirds", where it provides a 35mm equivalent focal length of 18mm.
A bright f/1.7 maximum aperture, perfect for working in difficult and low-light conditions, also allows for better control over depth of field when using selective focus techniques.
A semi-macro design is useful for working with subjects up close, with a minimum focusing distance of just 3.7 inches.
A rounded seven-blade aperture ensures a pleasing bokeh quality, kai shooting images with a shallow depth of field.
Dust-, splash-, and freeze-resistant construction protects the lens from heavy outdoor use and harsh conditions.
