Compact Standard Zoom Lens for Four Thirds Mount – 28-84mm Equivalent Focal Range, 1 ED & 2 Aspherical Optical Elements, Internal Focusing System, 7-Blade Circular Diaphragm & Front Lens Cap (Good Condition / No Rear Cap)
The Olympus 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Digital ED is an ultra-compact, lightweight standard zoom lens engineered for Four Thirds system digital SLR cameras, delivering a versatile 28-84mm full-frame equivalent focal length range. Spanning from medium wide-angle landscapes to classical telephoto portraiture, this 3x zoom lens provides a flexible, all-in-one solution for everyday walk-around photography, travel, and general snapshot shooting, pairing seamlessly with compact Four Thirds DSLR bodies like the Olympus E-series.
The optical construction features 10 elements in 8 groups, incorporating one extra-low dispersion (ED) glass element and two aspherical elements to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations, correct spherical distortion, and maintain high resolution and contrast across the entire zoom range. Designed with an internal focusing mechanism, the lens maintains a constant overall barrel length during focus operation, ensuring smooth and balanced handling. The aperture assembly utilizes a rounded 7-blade circular diaphragm to produce natural, smooth out-of-focus background bokeh when shooting portraits and close-up subjects.
