Athena was challenged to design a compact port to bring out the best features of the Olympus 14-42mm, small compact zoom lens in it's class.
The multi-purpose style of the Athena Wide Zoom Port 14-42 masters medium wide to close-up macro and one of the widest ranges in the DSLR class.
Corner sharpness image quality is good on wide angle, due to the OPD optical dome lens preventing distortion. In the water as well as on land, it keeps 24mm-84mm, 35 format value.

There is a built-in shade and zoom control. Included in the package is the ZG/14-42PTE zoom gear and a soft dome cover.
