Olympus has unveiled a super telephoto zoom for its Micro Four Thirds cameras: the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-200mm F3.5-6.3. It`s a 24-400mm equiv. zoom boasting a class-leading 16.6x magnification. Though it lacks the `Pro` designation of higher-end Olympus optics, the company claims that it offers the same dustproof and splashproof build quality as those lenses.

The 12-200mm F3.5-6.3 does not offer built-in stabilization, and will rely on camera body IS. The lens uses Olympus` MSC (Movie and Still Compatible) focusing mechanism and provides quieter operation - particularly useful for shooting video. The company`s ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating is also employed to reduce flare and ghosting.
The 12-200mm will go on sale in March for $900.
