OM System 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 M Zuiko ED Lens

A typical super-wide-angle lens tends to be big, heavy, and expensive, making it difficult for most camera users to take advantage of them. The M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 II promises to change all this. With its ultra-compact and lightweight design and outstanding portability, thanks to the DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) lens, available only with the Four Thirds System, this lens will make super-wide-angle photography friendlier and more affordable. Despite its compact size — just 49.5mm long and weighing a mere 155 grams — this lens boasts a long focusing range equivalent to 18-36mm on a 35mm camera lens.

FOR ON-THE-GO

M.Zuiko everyday lenses offer a solution for every shooting situation, whether you need a convenient low-profile lens or a high-powered zoom.

Zoom Alternative

This lens is an excellent alternative to previous Ultra wide-angle zoom lens designs that have traditionally been very heavy…and very expensive.

Flexibility

Combining two Dual Sided Aspherical, lenses, and aspherical, ED and HR glass helps minimize distortion and aberration.

Special Lens Hood

If you’re expecting to do a lot of outdoor shooting in bright conditions, the hood will help prevent strong side or stray light from causing unwanted ghosting aberration.
