OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 II Lens Summary
With its ultra compact design and outstanding portability, the next generation OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18 f/4.0-5.6 II Lens eliminates many of the drawbacks normally associated with ultra wide angle zoom lenses. It measures just 49.5mm long and weighs a mere 155g, boasting a long zoom range with an 18-36mm equivalent full-frame reach.
Thanks to its lightweight design, this micro four thirds lens from OM System redefines how we approach subjects such as landscapes, interiors and architecture, whilst also being suited to capturing vlogs and video due to the silent MCS mechanism. This combination is ideal for hybrid creators who shoot with high-quality OM System and Olympus cameras, and the micro four thirds Panasonic G system.
Through the inclusion of a DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) lens, which is exclusive to the Micro Four Thirds System, this lens not only enhances super wide angle photography, but also makes it more accessible. OM System has even included a bayonet-type lens hood to help reduce glare when shooting backlit subjects.

Revolutionary design
The M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 II lens revolutionises ultra wide angle photography. Its compact, lightweight design, along with the Dual Super Aspherical lens, amplifies portability and affordability. Its low weight and unobtrusive size allows the lens to be stowed in your bag and accompany you on travels, hikes and walks to shooting locations with ease.
Alternative to expensive wide angle lenses
The OM 9-18mm lens is a cost-effective alternative to traditionally heavy and expensive ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designs. It combines affordability with a lightweight build, making it a valuable addition to any camera bag, especially for those who journey to their destinations.
Enhanced Flexibility with DSA
Incorporating two DSA (Dual Sided Aspherical) lenses and aspherical glass, this lens effectively reduces distortion and aberrations, ensuring outstanding image quality regardless of your chosen focal length.
Compact 52mm lens filters
Lens filters are an essential accessory for many outdoor shooting scenarios and the filter thread on the 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 II lens accommodates cost-effective 52mm filters. This allows you to add a circular polariser, ND filter and other options to elevate your photography and video creation.
Bayonet connection Lens Hood
The lens comes with a bayonet connection lens hood, which can be deployed when shooting outdoors in bright or backlit conditions. The hood is invaluable as it prevents stray light from causing ghosting aberrations, ensuring clear and high contrast images without artefacts.
