Review: es un objetivo bastante imprecionante, como lo menciono es un todo terreno, funciona bien en ciudad y en campo abierto, tomas muy clara con poca luz, un zoom modico pero respetable y con disponibilidad de ajustes manuales Review: This is the best lens I've bought in a while because of its convenience - I put it on an Olympus PEN E-P2 camera that wasn't being used. Now I've turned my old camera into a good, go anywhere camera with no hassles. I just turn on the camera, the lens extends and I'm ready to go. I also bought the automatically opening / closing lens cap for the lens, no cap to remove and store, perfect. The zoom works very smooth and is silent - I haven't tried it on my GH4 yet but I like the silent operation. Also like that you can sort of program the zoom between two objects. For me, its made an old camera new again as I keep it close ready to shoot with. THE GOOD - 35mm equivalent of 28mm - 84mm for my M 4/3 format camera is just right for what I'm using it for. Lens quality is good, pretty sharp, not that fast but for what I'm using it for its great. I'm using it for work and take 100-200 images a day of boat parts, on the ocean, parts and damage. Overall good lens for the money. 600 plus images so far, good. THE OK - Although I knew this before buying it, its not great for close work. If you need macro capabilities this isn't your lens but does work well at 7-8 inches. With the good image quality of my old E-P2, shooting in RAW I can get get really good cropped images so I haven't really 'needed' macro capabilities. Olympus sells a macro screw on adapter (don't like adapters too much) and I may buy and try. THE BAD - For Me - Nothing. ## Features - Collapsible ultra portable electric zoom lens - Close focusing down to 7.87 inches, Focal Length : 14 42 mm - 3x zoom range covers everything from landscapes to portraits - Remote control of zoom available with smart phone app - Optional auto closing lens cap available ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HWMOZEG | | Best Sellers Rank | #115,268 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #141 in Mirrorless Camera Lenses | | Brand | Olympus | | Camera Lens | 42 millimetres | | Color | Black | | Compatible Camera Mount | Micro Four Thirds | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (217) | | Exposure Control Type | Automatic | | Focal Length Description | 14-42 millimeters | | Focus Type | Stepper motor | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050332186804, 04545350045425 | | Has Self-Timer | No | | Image stabilization | Digital | | Item Weight | 91 Grams | | Lens | Standard | | Lens Coating Description | Nano AR Coating | | Lens Design | Zoom | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 14 Millimeters | | Lens Mount | Micro Four Thirds | | Manufacturer | Olympus | | Maximum Aperture | 3.5 f | | Maximum Focal Length | 42 Millimeters | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Aperture | 22 f | | Minimum Focal Length | 14 Millimeters | | Model Name | Olympus 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 EZ Interchangeable Lens for Olympus/Panasonic Micro 4/3 Digital Camera (Black) | | Number of Diaphragm Blades | 9 | | Photo Filter Size | 61 Millimeters | | Real Angle Of View | 75 Degrees | | UPC | 050332186804 | | Viewfinder Type | Electronic viewfinder | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 3x | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Olympus - **Camera lens description:** 42 millimetres - **Compatible mountings:** Micro Four Thirds - **Focal length description:** 14-42 millimeters - **Lens type:** Standard ## Images ![OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ Black For Micro Four Thirds System Camera, Compact 3x zoom Lens - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tqvmI9gWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***N on 23 December 2016* es un objetivo bastante imprecionante, como lo menciono es un todo terreno, funciona bien en ciudad y en campo abierto, tomas muy clara con poca luz, un zoom modico pero respetable y con disponibilidad de ajustes manuales ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***D on 12 October 2015* This is the best lens I've bought in a while because of its convenience - I put it on an Olympus PEN E-P2 camera that wasn't being used.

Small and discreet, perfect for street photography or those times when you want your camera with you, but don’t want to carry a big lens, like hiking, travelling. Very clear and sharp. As for the price, well who can resist that! ## Frequently Bought Together - OM SYSTEM OLYMPUS M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ Black For Micro Four Thirds System Camera, Compact 3x zoom Lens - Logitech for Creators Mevo Core Wireless Live Streaming Camera, 4K Video Camera with Interchangeable Lens, Multicam Ready, Intuitive App Control - Panasonic LUMIX G X Vario Power Zoom Lens, 45-175MM, F4.0-5.6 ASPH, MIRRORLESS Micro Four Thirds, Power Optical I.S, H-PS45175K (USA Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/267040316-om-system-m-zuiko-digital-14-42mm-f3-5-5](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/267040316-om-system-m-zuiko-digital-14-42mm-f3-5-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
