Olympus M.Zuiko 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Micro 4/3rds Zoom Lens

The technical details behind this lens

Olympus M.Zuiko 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Micro 4/3rds Zoom Lens offers great features. The ultra-compact form makes it easy to carry around and brings out the maximum potential of Micro Four Thirds performance. The MSC mechanism delivers quick and silent autofocusing for movie and still image shooting. It is great for landscape photos and snapshots. The lens size has been reduced all thanks to the short flange back distance of the Micro Four-Thirds format (approx. 50% shorter than that of the Four-Thirds format) as well as the retractable lens mechanism design. When compared to the Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6, its volume is 50% smaller, and mass is 60% smaller. Comes equipped with two DSA lenses, a world first. To deliver high image quality while keeping the small size, this amazing lens offers an ideal lens design in which 2 DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) lenses located in the front capture the 100° wide-angle and a dual aspherical lens located on the back correct aberrations. This lens also features a rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh quality.

Great Optics

One extra-low dispersion element suppresses colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for greater clarity and colour accuracy. The Two Dual Super Aspherical elements, along with one high refractive index element and an aspherical element, reduce spherical aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range for improved sharpness with minimal distortion.

Excellent Features

Movie and Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance. This wide-angle zoom lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and delivers an 18-36mm equivalent focal length range. The Retractable lens design with a locking button maintains a compact profile when the lens is not in use.
