Description — Olympus 25mm f/2.8
The Olympus Digital 25mm f/2.8 Zuiko is a Four Thirds mount prime lens designed for photographers who want a lightweight and focused shooting experience. At just 95g, it adds minimal bulk to any kit, and the 25mm focal length places it firmly in the standard range. The f/2.8 maximum aperture provides a meaningful step up in light-gathering over slower zoom lenses, giving more flexibility in lower-light conditions.
Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, offering adaptability across different shooting styles and preferences. The 43mm filter thread makes it straightforward to attach a range of standard filters. With no image stabilization on board, photographers should factor in their camera body's stabilization capabilities when shooting handheld in challenging conditions.
This lens is exclusively designed for the Four Thirds mount system.
