Overview

The OM System M.Zuiko Digital 25mm F1.8 II is a weather-sealed update of the classic Olympus 25mm F1.8, adding IPX1-rated protection to an aluminum barrel. Optically identical to its predecessor, it delivers sharp images with characterful but slightly frenetic bokeh. The compact 5.5-ounce design retains 46mm filters and includes a reversible hood. It suits Micro Four Thirds users with weather-sealed bodies who want a reliable, lightweight standard prime, though the Panasonic Leica 25mm F1.4 II offers faster aperture and the Lumix G 25mm F1.7 is a cheaper alternative.
