This zoom lens has a maximum magnification of 4.2X, covering a range that extends from a wide angle of 24mm (35mm camera equivalent) – ideal for taking wide shots even indoors – to a medium telephoto focal length of 100mm (35mm camera equivalent), – optimal for portraits. A newly developed motorized zoom mechanism makes smooth, quiet zooming while shooting movies possible. The AF system is based on the MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism, and enhanced by a newly developed “Linear Motor Drive” that enables faster, quieter focusing. Macro shooting as close as 7.87 inches with a maximum image magnification of 0.72X (35mm camera equivalent) is possible. Dust and Splash Proof construction lets you shoot in harsh conditions without worry.

Here are some great shots taken with the Olympus E-PL1 by our friend Peter Ewen from his recent trip to Mexico. We thought the pictures really showcased the ability of this micro 4/3 camera from Olympus. Small, compact and full of features it’s a great camera to travel with. Feel free to leave a comment for Peter if you’d like. BTW, Peter’s day job is Director,  Product Marketing, DSLR for Olympus. Bergen County Camera has a full line of Olympus 4/3 cameras, lenses and accessories.
