Our 100% Digital Specific Zuiko Lenses are smart. How smart? A chip in the lens communicates basic information with the camera body, producing vibrant color and edge-to-edge sharpness. Olympus Four-thirds upgradeable technology allows you to shoot with the most current firmware available. Smart digital lenses, for smart digital photographers like you.

A fundamental characteristic of digital SLR image sensors is that light rays must strike them straight-on to achieve high-quality imaging. When a 35mm film camera lens is mounted on a digital SLR camera, light at the periphery of the lens tends to strike the sensor diagonally, resulting in loss of sharpness, color bleeding, and dark images. To achieve the best image quality and performance for E-System cameras, Olympus designed its lens family exclusively for digital imaging. The result? Lenses that deliver light to the sensor almost straight-on — both in the center and at the periphery — to ensure consistently high image quality even when using wide-angle lenses.
