The ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm 1:2.8 (35mm equivalent focal length: 50mm) pancake lens accentuates the amazing compactness of the E-System. Featuring an extremely short-barrelled, lightweight design, this lens represents the perfect accompaniment for the E-420.

Main Features

1. Thin, lightweight pancake-type lens with an overall length of 23.5 mm and weight of 95 grams
   Mastery of the latest optical design technology has resulted in a thin, lightweight pancake-type lens with an overall length of only 23.5 millimetres and weight of 95 grams. When this lens is mounted on the currently available E-410 or the just announced E-420 digital SLR camera, the total length of the camera body and lens is still only 76.5 mm. The result is a camera system that is easy to store and easy to carry, offering go-anywhere portability. With its compact, lightweight design, this highly portable lens is ideal for daily use, perfect for a wide range of photographic opportunities from snapshots to portrait and landscape shooting.
2. Digital-dedicated, high-image-quality design
   The focal distance is equivalent to 50 mm on a 35 mm camera lens. Double-sided aspherical lens components are employed to reduce the lens length and provide optimal aberration correction, achieving a sharp, clear image just like a single-focus lens. A specially formulated lens coating optimized for shooting against light minimizes ghosts and flares. With a high open aperture f-value of 2.8 and a circular aperture diaphragm, this lens lets you create beautiful soft-focus images and take advantage of natural defocusing effects.
3. Excellent close-up shooting capability
   Close-up shooting is possible at a minimum distance of 13 centimeters from the front of the lens. The possibility of positive challenge to the shooting subject will expand the field of photography.
4. Screw-on aluminium lens cap, and lens hood (optional)
   The lens cap is made of aluminium and screws onto the lens. This ensures a sleek, streamlined exterior appearance.
   Made of sleek, polished aluminium, the optional LH-43 Lens Hood allows you to attach the LC-34 Lens Hood Cap (included in the Lens Hood) or a 34-mm-diameter commercially available filter without spoiling the camera's slim, stylish appearance.
