The Olympus brand introduces the M.Zuiko 8-25mm F4 Pro Micro Four Thirds lens, marketed as a professional model. Taking into account the crop factor, it acts as a wide-angle and standard lens. The optical design of the novelty includes a double superspherical element (DSA), which significantly reduced sagittal chromatic aberrations. The advantages of the lens also include small dimensions, in particular, provided by the telescopic design. Incidentally, this is the first foldable lens in the M.Zuiko Pro line.

- focal length – 8-25 mm (EGF 16-50 mm);
