Olympus applied its optical expertise to develop the Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f4.0-f5.6, a super-wide-angle zoom lens covering a wide focal length range (18-36mm equivalent in 35mm photography). This compact ultra-wide-angle zoom lens measures just three inches in length and weighs a mere 9.88 ounces for greater portability. It can be used on any of the Olympus E System digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera bodies. This affordable super-wide-angle lens enables stunningly original perspectives with an extra-wide field of view, and perfectly complements the Zuiko Digital ED 18-180mm 1:3.5-6.3 (36-360mm) lens. The 9-18mm lens' lightweight design coupled with In-Body Image Stabilization -- available on the Olympus E-3, E-510 and E-520 digital SLRs -- makes capturing amazing, blur-free images possible even without a tripod.
