## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have af, and if yes does it work with panasonic g85?**
A: Yes, it's an autofocus lens and being part of the micro 4/3rds system, I would guess it works fine on the Panasonic g85 although I've only used it on my Oly EM-10

**Q: Is there any difference other than price than the non "International Version"?**
A: To the best of my knowledge, the only difference is that you will not get a waranty with the international version.

**Q: Is this lens compatible with the Olympus E-410?**
A: No. The 9-18 mm lens fits on micro 4/3 cameras,. This lens fits on their older series of cameras--the 4/3 series.

**Q: does it come with front and rear caps? (ASIN EZ-M918 Olympus M ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 micro Four Thirds Lens for Olympus)**
A: All Olympus lenses come with front and rear caps.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant lens not to be overlooked
*by W***O on 18 July 2015*

If you own m43 system, and Olympus in particular, this one is no-brainer... tiny in size big in picture quality; can sit on the camera all day when sightseeing cities - ranges from moderate 36mm equivalent for general shots to 18mm for wide views. Price will not break the bank either. Could be a bit faster or have weather sealing, but I guess would be more expensive... Panasonic equivalent may be bit better and wider but does not stretch to enough on longer end to be general lens, costs more and is bigger. Go get one, if you already don't have it :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent quality lens but the focal length takes some getting used to, and it's not the best value m43rds lens.
*by P***D on 7 November 2015*

I swithered for a long time before biting the bullet on this lens, as it doesn't have the best reputation particularly compared to the 7 - 14mm, and it's not cheap. However, after borrowing one from a friend, I was impressed with what it can do, and a cashback offer from Olympus brought the price down to a level I felt was fair.The lens is small and light, so it's easy to bring it with you "just in case". It can be a little soft wide open and in the corners, but if you're using it for landscapes you'll want to stop it down a bit anyway for a suitable depth of field. As it has such a wide FOV, flare can also be a bit of a problem leading to reduced contrast, so a lens hood is a must. Don't get the overpriced Olympus one: I got the JJC Olympus LH - 55B which is much cheaper and does a good job.I'm still finding this a hard focal length range to compose in. It's easy to get photos that are full of nothing, with everything off in the distance. You really need some foreground interest to add depth. You can use it for architectural photos, but will need to correct the uwa distortion using software unless you want photos of buildings falling backwards.Advantages of the 9 - 18mm over the 7 - 14mm alternatives:* You can take photos at a more normal FOV in the 14 - 18mm range which makes it more versatile.* You can use filters. The Panasonic 7 - 14mm can't take filters directly.* It's smaller, cheaper and lighter* You can get some great photos with a bit of practice (I'm still working on this...)Overall, I'm really glad I bought this lens at the price I got it, and find it a worthwhile addition to my camera bag.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely with my Panasonic G3
*by T***R on 30 December 2013*

Firstly order the "JJC replacement Olympus LH-55B Lens Hood for Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm 1:4.0-5.6" when you buy this lens as it does not ship with a lens hood. The JJC fits perfectly and is only £12.99 when compared to £36.99 for the Olympus one. And you do need a lens hood.Build quality is very good. I love the way the lens shrinks down when not in use by sliding a lock button and then rotating the lens. When I switch my G3 on it gives me an onscreen message reminding me to expand the lens out ready for use.It is fully compatible with my G3 producing very sharp images at the full aperture range when enlarged to 20 x 16 equivalent at ISO 100. If you want to be hyper critical then when you zoom in on Photoshop you can see some softening at the edges but in reality this isn't going to be an issue, even viewing the test images on my 47" TV didn't highlight any concerns.
