The M.Zuiko 9-18mm f4-5.6 is small, lightweight, and offers great flexibility. But is it worth its $700 price tag?
Find out what 5 readers thought of the Olympus 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital in our review.
The M. Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4-5.6 is Olympus's third lens for the Micro Four Thirds system to reach the market, covering the wideangle end of the spectrum. It was first announced at the same time as the E-P2 in November 2009 (alongside a forthcoming 14-150mm superzoom), with more details appearing coincident with the E-PL1's launch in February 2010. Its headline feature is undoubtedly its miniscule size - it adopts the same collapsing design as Olympus's Micro Four Thirds 14-42mm kit zoom to realize dimensions of just 2.2" x 1.9" (57 x 50 mm) when retracted, and an extremely light weight of 5.5 ounces (155g). This makes it the smallest wideangle zoom lens on the market by some considerable margin.
The Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6 is a tiny wide-angle lens for Micro Four Thirds compact system cameras. Offering an 18-36mm focal length in 35mm terms and a weight of just 155g, the Olympus 9-18mm lens is much smaller and lighter that other ultra wide-angle lenses. Read our Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6 review to find out if it deserves a place in your lens collection.
