Olympus has unveiled its latest high performance optic, the Olympus 12-45mm f/4 Pro – the world’s smallest and most lightweight fixed aperture standard zoom (in equivalent 35mm terms, this lens is a 24-90mm). 

At just 254g, the Olympus M.ZuIko 12-45mm f/4 Pro (to give its full name) is about the same weight as a large apple. And measuring just 70mm long by 63.4mm in diameter, it’s a truly pocketable bit of glass. However, it isn’t just the compact form factor that this lens has going for it.
