OM 9-18mm II review at PCmag: “we wish it had weather protection for the price”

Share

PcMag tested the new OM 9-18mm II lens and concluded:

Cosmetics and branding aside, the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 II doesn’t do anything different than its predecessor. And that’s perfectly fine because focus performance remains fast and image quality holds up in terms of sharpness and flare control. The lens is missing some of the finer touches of more recent releases, however, including weather protection and on-barrel controls. Overall, the 9-18mm is an affordable, capable wide-angle lens for Micro Four Thirds photographers (even if it’s pricey compared with basic wide zooms for other systems), though we continue to recommend the M.Zuiko 8-25mm F4 Pro as our Editors’ Choice winner thanks to its more durable build and broader range of coverage.
