- Overview

Until now, super-wide-angle lenses tended to be big, heavy, and expensive, making it difficult for most camera users to take advantage of them. The Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f4.0-5.6 promises to change all this. With its ultra compact and lightweight design and the 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 _„î it's just 73 mm long and weighs a mere 280 grams _„î this lens boasts a long focusing range equivalent to 18-36mm on a 35mm camera lens.
Directly compatible with E-System cameras. Compatible with Micro Four Thirds digital cameras (PEN\OM-D) through use of the MMF-2 or MMF-3 (Four Thirds Lens Adapter to Micro Four Thirds Lens Adapter). The MMF-3 is dust and splash proof for use with that type of lens on a dust and splash proof body. Note, AF performance may diminish as compared to being on an E-System body.

A sturdy and balanced wide angle less
This lens is the standard grade counterpart to the high grade 11-22 and super high grade 7-14 lenses of the Zuiko line. I have all three of these lenses and find each have their purpose. If you like light, yet do not want to compromise on the corner to corner capture of a solid wide angle lens, this one will fit the bill. I have used mine on the E-1, E-620 and E-5, and find it to deliver when it is called into duty. I think it appreciates that, and works to excel to show off to the 11-22 and 7-14 lenses, both of which excel in their own right. If you seek out wide vistas, or close ups with a new edge, consider this lens. It will not disappoint you.

One of the best lenses of the system
This is your standard super wide angle lens for the E-system. Mine is sharper than the 11-22mm and the 7-14mm and has less distortion than the 7-14mm. It fits very nicely into your pocket. A superb lens. I also wish the 11-22 would go a little bit wider - thus the 9-18mm fits the bill.
Only disadvantage is its slow speed, which perhaps has been the key for its quality and moderate price. It's actually a great match for the E-5 as you can shoot at higher ISO and the speed does not matter as much.
Often I wish Oly had a fast 10mm fixed lens with little distortion. Alas... -

I love how light it is, most super wide zooms weigh a ton, the camera (E-30) just feels great with it. It corner to corner sharpness is amazing. I love this lens.
