A typical super-wide-angle lens tends to be big; heavy; and expensive; making it difficult for most camera users to take advantage of them. The M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 II 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 - it's just 49.5mm long and weighs a mere 155 grams - this lens boasts a long focusing range equivalent to 18-36 mm on a 35-mm camera lens.
For On-The-Go
M.Zuiko everyday lenses offer a solution for every shooting situation; whether you need a convenient low-profile lens or a high-powered zoom.
Zoom Alternative - This lens is a great alternative to previous Ultra wide-angle zoom lens designs that have traditionally been very heavy…and very expensive.
Flexibility - The combination of two Dual Sided Aspherical; lenses; and aspherical; ED and HR glass helps minimize distortion and aberration.
Special Lens Hood - If you're expecting to be doing a lot of outdoor shooting in bright conditions; the hood will really help prevent strong side or stray light from causing unwanted ghosting aberration.
