New! 9–18mm f/4–5.6 M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED zoom lens

This super wide-angle 9–18mm zoom lens (35mm equivalent 18–36mm) overturns the rule that super-wide zooms have to be big and heavy — it's less than half the size and weight of the standard ZUIKO DIGITAL 9–18mm lens! With its wide angle of view, including background scenery in group photos is a snap. It can also be used to create unique images with a sense of dramatically exaggerated perspective.
