Olympus Zuiko 9-18 f4.0-5.6

With focal lengths (35 mm eq. ) of super-wide 18mm (100° angle of view) to the moderate "standard" wide-angle 36 mm (62° angle of view) in my eyes it covers a very suitable everyday usage range. Nevertheless, I find the image quality to be excellent, the missing 14° angle of view between 9 and 7 mm does not really bother me (besides I can use my 7-14 per adapter also on 5 oz, 155 g) super-wide angle lens. I have not yet done a direct comparison with my Zuiko 7-14, but they both play in different weight and price categories. One has to turn the zoom ring to extend it: However, a very practicable approach. Therefore, sometimes I even leave the ordinary standard zoom at home. About its imaging performance it has already been written a lot, for example here. One should mention that you can't take pictures in this compact form, which is only for transportation....

A Spin with 25mm Pancake

In this particular session, I only used the Olympus Zuiko Pancake 25mm F2. 8 lens, all the way with my E-5. I did bring along the fisheye and my staple lens, 50mm F2, but surprisingly I did not switch lens even once throughout this morning. Not bad, coming from a budget standard lens, though I must admit the performance in terms of sharpness and overall image quality is no where near any of the High Grade Zuiko lenses. Therefore, I can conclude that the 25mm pancake lens is surprisingly flexible and versatile, almost usable in every shooting situations. But hey, expectations and measurebating aside, the lens delivered what it promised: a good all around performer for everyday general shooting.
