About this lens
Released in 2010, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 is a remarkably compact Micro Four Thirds ultra-wide zoom that gives an 18-36mm equivalent field of view while weighing just 155g.

Best for
This lens suits landscape, architecture, interior and travel photographers who want a genuinely wide angle of view in a lens small enough to carry all day. On the Micro Four Thirds format the 2x crop factor turns its 9-18mm range into an 18-36mm equivalent, so you get true ultra-wide coverage without a bulky lens. It has no optical stabilisation of its own, instead relying on the in-body stabilisation found in most Olympus and OM System bodies. Being a native Micro Four Thirds lens, it mounts on any MFT camera, including Olympus and OM System models as well as Panasonic Lumix G bodies.
Frequently asked questions
What is the equivalent focal length on full frame?
On Micro Four Thirds the 2x crop factor gives an equivalent field of view of roughly 18-36mm in 35mm terms.
Does it fit Panasonic Lumix cameras?
Yes. It uses the native Micro Four Thirds mount, so it works on Panasonic Lumix G bodies as well as Olympus and OM System cameras.
What filter size does it take?
It has a 52mm filter thread, and the front does not rotate during focusing, which helps when using polarising or graduated filters.
Does the lens have image stabilisation?
No, there is no optical stabilisation built in. It relies on the in-body stabilisation provided by most Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
