Our Verdict
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6 Lens is a versatile ultra-wide angle zoom lens to complement Olympus cameras. The 2x zoom range allows flexible framing, whilst the wide angle capability captures stunning landscapes, portraits and indoor shots. Olympus employed a new optical formula with two DSA lenses. This keeps the size and weight down whilst also capturing superb quality, whether shooting stills or videos. Videographers and photographers are well catered for with a high speed, silent AF system, referred to as MSC (Movie and Still Compatible).
At 9-18mm distortion is well controlled and offers one of the widest zooms in the range, beaten only by the Olympus Digital ED 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO lens at nearly twice the price. Where this model shines is its ability to render extremely high resolution results throughout the zoom range without the weight of PRO glass. You can mount this lens or bring it in a camera bag, barely noticing the weight ready to capture superb results at a moments notice.
