The Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm 1:4-5.6 is without doubt a very good lens indeed, especially for a relatively inexpensive ultra-wideangle zoom. It's sharp even wide open, has negligible distortion, and shows practically no vignetting.

High image quality - decently sharp from centre to corner even wide open; Extremely low distortion; Essentially no falloff/vigmetting; Small and lightweight

Moderate chromatic aberration (although not excessive for an ultra-wide

Like any concept, the Four Thirds imaging system has its pros and cons. On the plus side, camera bodies and lenses tend to be very compact, but then the four/thirds aspect ratio that's in keeping with pre-widescreen viewing screens now looks dated.

Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6

With the lens attached to an Olympus E-P2 camera body, focusing is essentially silent and surprisingly quick too, thanks to a solution whereby only one compact and lightweight lens element moves on focus.

Olympus Zuiko 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED

An affordable compact ultra-wide angle lens for Four Thirds system DSLRs, giving an equivalent angle of view of an 18-36mm lens on a full-frame camera.

Compact; lightweight design; Excellent resolution at f/8 throughout the zoom range; Excellent resistance to flare and ghosting; Fast AF

Chromatic Aberrations at 18mm; Resolution towards the edge of the frame at 9mm

Overall the 9-18mm is a winner for me. Its combination of compact size, low price, and good image quality make it an excellent choice for urban cityscape as well as nature landscape photogrpahy.

Excellent range of focal lengths Compact design Lightweight Good image quality Reasonable price Functions well with the Olympus E-P1 (w/adapter) Balances well with the entire Olympus/Panasonic range of cameras

Slightly slow (faster maximum aperture would be nice for street photography) Focusing could be faster (SWD would be cool) Concerns about long term durability in the field (probably not an issue; and heavier duty construction might add substantial weight

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Lens

The M Zuiko Digital 9-18mm f/4-5.6 was announced at PMA 2010 as the second ultra-wide zoom lens to be released for Micro Four Thirds system cameras (the first was Panasonic's Lumix G Vario 7-14mm lens).

You want a lightweight; wide-angle zoom lens that covers most types of subjects; You'd like a lens that requires no readjustment when you fit polarisers and graduated filters; You require quiet autofocusing for shooting video; You need a lens with adequate flatness of field for architectural

You need close focusing and macro capabilities; You require excellent edge-to-edge sharpness.

Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f4.0-5.6

The new Micro Four Thirds cameras from Olympus and Panasonic may have grabbed all the headlines recently, but Olympus at least seems committed to carrying on with the regular Four Thirds format too.

Olympus 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED M.Zuiko Digital review by iffo

Especially at the smaller focal lengths, the corner sharpness remains behind the centre sharpness. This lens, like the Olympus 45 mm 1.8, is an inexpensive lens that offers first class optical performance: a very high resolution, low distortion and low vignetting.

Compact and light weight High optical quality: high resolution; low weight and limited distortion Large viewing angle Low price

Visible chromatic aberration Construction feels cheap
