Used Micro Four Thirds lenses

Micro Four Thirds is the most interchangeable system there is: Olympus and Panasonic share the same mount, so a used Olympus lens works just as well on a Panasonic body and vice versa. That makes the range of used MFT lenses nice and large and the choice less tied to a brand than with other systems.

What to look out for with a used MFT lens

Check the front of the lens and the rear element for scratches and make sure there is no dust or fungus inside the lens. Turn the zoom and focus rings through a few times to feel whether they run smoothly. With lenses that have stabilisation or an electronic focus motor, it is wise to test the autofocus briefly on your own body. With us, all of that has already been done: we professionally inspect every lens, grade it with a clear condition rating and you get at least 12 months' warranty. Does it not suit the way you work after all? Then you send it back within 14 days.

Which lens suits you

If you're looking for one all-round lens for everyday use, the OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO II is an excellent choice thanks to its constant aperture and robust PRO finish. If you travel a lot and want just a little more reach without sacrificing sharpness, the Olympus 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO M.Zuiko Digital ED is a real workhorse lens. Sports photographers and those who like to capture action or wildlife look at the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO M.Zuiko Digital ED, while the Olympus 100-400mm f/5-6.3 IS M.Zuiko Digital ED is the answer when your subject is further away, as with birds or nature photography. So within the system you'll find everything from wide-angle lenses to telephoto lenses, macro lenses and fast primes — feel free to take a look at the broader lenses category to complete your kit.
