OM System M.Zuiko 12-45mm f/4 PRO

The smallest PRO zoom: a 24–90mm-equivalent f/4 that weighs 254 g, is IPX1 sealed and focuses to 12 cm for 0.5× equivalent close-ups across the whole range. It is the everyday and travel lens for compact OM bodies when the 12-40mm f/2.8 feels like too much.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
