Review on πŸ“· Olympus M ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Micro Four Thirds Lens - International Version (No Warranty) for Olympus & Panasonic MFT Digital Camera by Malik Berry

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good wide angle lens for the price

I chose this lens after seeing the price of the 7-14mm lens I originally wanted. However, the difference in wide angle FOV isn't enough to make a difference in most cases and I'm not complaining about only 40% of the cost! The lens is ideal for outdoor and well-lit indoor shots, while still being wide enough to capture most indoor shots where you want to capture most of a room or a large group of people. I found that I like the range (equivalent to 18-36mm in 35mm). At its longest setting, this is the perfect "all-round" lens and I have it on my camera most of the time. There were some reviews that complained about the weird way the zoom works, which requires you to "unlock" it and rotate it a quarter turn for it to work. Yes, this *IS* is pretty weird, but it wasn't a problem for me. Just a quick extra step on first use.

Pros
  • SLR lenses
Cons
  • Almost never
