OM System has announced the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 II lens, price tag £599.99 / €699, a new wide-angle lens with a release date set for March 2024.
Designed for all types of photography, the new OM System lens is compatible with the Micro Four Thirds standard, offering a 35mm equivalent focal length of 18-36mm.
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 II is billed as the lightest and most compact lens among OM System’s M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ultra wide-angle zoom lenses. This new lens allows photographers to explore a broad spectrum of photographic styles, especially in outdoor settings. It is particularly adept at capturing expansive landscapes and offers a unique perspective for wide macro photography, such as shooting flowers and trees from a low angle while incorporating the sky into the frame.
Weighing just 154g, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 II offers portability and ease of use, making it an attractive option for photographers who need mobility. The new lens also comes bundled with a newly adopted, petal-shaped LH-55D lens hood, which is designed to reduce lens flare and protect the lens from incidental damage.
