What this lens is good for
Compact walkaround
A 24-90mm full-frame equivalent at constant f/4, weather sealed, and just 254g, this is the compact PRO standard zoom for those who want sealing and quality without the size of the f/2.8. It covers a slightly longer range than the 12-40mm in a smaller package. Full guide →
Travel and hiking
The light weight, sealing, and useful zoom range make it an excellent travel and hiking lens, especially paired with the smaller OM bodies. The constant f/4 is slower for low light, but on a stabilised body and in good light it is a versatile everyday choice.
