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.

I have just purchased this product and have carried out some test shots. I am delighted with the results. The sharpness is incredible and the colour rendition is very good.I have attached it to my Olympus Pen E-P3 and it matches up perfectly to the camera.
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus

Why Didn't I Replace This Lens Sooner
I purchased another copy of this lens in 2011 & had it for about a year when it was stolen when I lived in Uruguay. I love this lens! If you like wide angle lenses & have a micro 4/3 camera you will not be disappointed. I don't know why I waited so long to replace it.

Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm 1:4-5.6 review
Olympus's ultrawide zoom for Micro Four Thirds offers impressive image quality plus fast and silent autofocus, in a tiny package that makes it easily the smallest lens of its type.
Pros:
- Photographers looking for ultra-wideangle capability in the smallest possible package
Cons:
- Users demanding the widest angle coverage possible

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED - Review / Test Report
The build quality is pretty good for a retractable lens. In its transport position the lens feels tight and solid thanks to high quality plastics. You've to move the lens to its working position prior to being able to taking pictures - this is as easy as simply zooming from the transport position to...

Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm 1:4.0-5.6 review
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.

Lens does not work and Amazon will not provide product support or warranty info
The lens is stuck. It feels like it is locked, yet the release button doesn't release it. It will not turn, and will not function. I came to Amazon to ask for product support and find warranty information, as it should still be under the manufacturer's warranty.

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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- 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
