OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2.0 Wide-Angle Lens, Black

Need a wide prime that disappears in a jacket pocket? Weighing only 130 g and measuring 43 mm long, the black M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2.0 gives Micro Four Thirds cameras a classic 24mm-equivalent perspective for landscapes, architecture, interiors, travel and night street scenes, with a fast f/2.0 aperture for low-light handheld shooting.

Its 11-element, 8-group optical design includes an ED element, an aspherical element, a DSA element and a Super HR element to control distortion and chromatic aberration, and Olympus/OM ZERO coating cuts internal reflections for cleaner contrast. Movie-Still-Compatible (MSC) autofocus is fast and near-silent, so it works just as well for vlogging and video as for stills.

A favorite with street photographers is the snapshot focus mechanism: pull the focus ring back to switch to manual focus with distance and depth-of-field scales, then zone-focus without looking at the screen. The all-metal barrel feels as good as it looks, and the 46mm filter thread keeps filters small and affordable.
