OM System M.Zuiko Digital 9 mm to 18 mm - f/4 - f/22 - Super Wide Angle Varifocal Lens
- M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 II: 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.
- 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.

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9–18mm F4.0–5.6 II is a compact ultra-wide zoom lens with an 18–36mm equivalent field of view, suited to photographers who want to capture landscapes, architecture, or broad indoor scenes without carrying a bulky lens.
Recommended For
- Travelers and hikers using a Micro Four Thirds camera who want an ultra-wide zoom that adds little bulk to a lightweight kit.
- Landscape and cityscape photographers who want a flexible wide-to-standard view for outdoor scenes, buildings, and travel snapshots without carrying a larger ultra-wide zoom.
- Architecture and interior photographers who need a wider framing option for rooms or buildings, and can shoot with enough light or use a tripod when needed.
- Micro Four Thirds photographers who want a compact wide zoom for daylight video or establishing shots and value autofocus that is quiet during recording.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- On a trip when you want to keep your camera bag small, use the lens for wide street scenes, landmarks, and travel snapshots; its compact design makes an ultra-wide view easier to carry alongside other gear.
- For landscapes, use the wide end to include more foreground and surroundings in a single frame; reviews report useful real-world results across the zoom range, though this is not a specialized low-light lens.
- In a small room or tight interior, zoom wide to fit more of the space into the photo when stepping back is not possible; keep important subjects away from the frame edges to reduce the stretched appearance common with very wide views.
- When photographing buildings or city streets, use the wide view to show more of the scene from a close viewpoint; the zoom range also lets you frame a less expansive view without changing lenses.
- For group photos in a cramped setting, use the wide end to include everyone without having to move far back; check the edges of the frame, where people can appear stretched if they are too close to the lens.
