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. Its retracting design keeps it genuinely pocketable, making it a standout choice for landscape, architecture and travel work.

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.

  • A 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.
