Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 14-35mm f2.0 SWD was announced on 17 October 2007 featuring quiet and ultra-fast autofocus. Boasting industry-leading imaging performance, this lens is a worthy addition to our Super High Grade (SHG) series. The flagship of the ZUIKO DIGITAL series, this lens was developed to meet the requirements of the most demanding professionals.

With features like the best possible image quality, reliable dust-/drip-proofing, Olympus’s exclusive SWD-driven ultra-fast AF system, a mechanically interlocked manual focusing mechanism, and a large, flower-shaped hood with a polarization filter control window, this lens offers the reliable, trouble-free performance you need to express yourself with confidence.

Photos below are taken with Olympus E-3, the latest professional dslr by Olympus for their 3/4 system. The Zuiko Digital ED 14-35mm f2.0 SWD produces very good bokeh or blurring of background, creating great isolation for the focused area.

On a 2x crop factor's E-3, the focal length is 28-70mm in 35mm equilavant. This lens has a constant f2 aperture which is the widest constant aperture in comparison with other lens manufacturers up to date and has 0.35m minimum focusing distance.
