📷 Olympus M ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Micro Four Thirds Lens - International Version (No Warranty) for Olympus & Panasonic MFT Digital Camera Review

lens is good but 7-18 would be much better. It's not wide enough for all purposes. I don't really block the unlock feature. I find it annoying and I'm not sure why they have it. Image quality, construction and focus are the same as all Olympus lenses, excellent. It's also small and very compact.

Bought to shoot with a wider perspective in outdoor landscape or building photography. The lens is small and light so it's not heavy at all to carry around, and it's actually quite fast and sharp.

I found that I like the range (equivalent to 18-36mm in 35mm). At its longest setting, this

As of July 2015, there are only 3 ultra wide angle zoom options for Micro Four Thirds: this lens (Olympus 9-18mm), Panasonic 7-14mm F4 and Olympus 7 -14mm F2.8. I chose 9-18 mm. It's small, light, sharp enough and supports filters. It was this lens that drew me to the Micro Four Thirds format. The Panasonic 7-14mm is said to be sharper, especially in the corners, than the 9-18mm. It's also much bigger, heavier and slightly more expensive. In addition, filters are not suitable for 7-14 mm.
