(Refurbished Excellent) Olympus 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ - MFT-mount Camera Lens

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12‑50mm f/3.5‑6.3 EZ is a compact, versatile standard zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mirrorless cameras from Olympus, Panasonic, and other compatible brands. With a 12–50 mm focal range (equivalent to 24–100 mm in 35 mm terms), it covers wide‑angle to short telephoto perspectives, making it suitable for landscapes, portraits, street photography, and general everyday use.

This lens features 10 optical elements in 9 groups, including DSA (dual super aspherical), aspherical, HR (high refractive index), and ED (extra‑low dispersion) elements that work together to deliver good overall sharpness and control optical aberrations throughout the zoom range. The motorized zoom mechanism allows smooth, quiet zooming — especially useful for video — while the MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) autofocus system with a linear motor drive provides fast, quiet focusing for both stills and movies.

A unique feature of this lens is its macro mode: by engaging the macro function, the lens can focus as close as 0.2 m (≈8 in), delivering up to 0.72× equivalent magnification (35 mm equivalence), which lets you capture detailed close‑ups without needing a dedicated macro lens.

The lens sports a weather‑resistant construction with dust and splashproof sealing, making it more reliable in challenging shooting conditions — especially when paired with a weather‑sealed MFT camera body. Its 5‑blade circular diaphragm helps produce pleasant out‑of‑focus highlights, and it accepts 52 mm filters for additional creative control.

In the box you typically find the lens body, front/rear caps, instruction manual, and Olympus warranty card.

Overall, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12‑50mm f/3.5‑6.3 EZ is a solid all‑around zoom for photographers who want a versatile walkaround lens with good handling, smooth zoom control, and useful macro capabilities in a compact, weather‑sealed package.
