Olympus OM-D E-M5, E-M1, E-M10 - Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 Owners Thread

I fancy a slightly wider lens for occasional use. Thinking of maybe a 9-18 as it’s about 1/2the price of a 2nd hand 7-14. Could maybe squeeze to an 8-25, but that will wipe out my cash reserves.

Anyone have any thoughts on those options.

The 9-18 is optically very good, and light. However it feels cheap (it is), not weather resistant, and to some having to “unlock” the lens to return it to the collapsed state. Probably the best choice if it’s only for intermittent use.

Have you considered the Panasonic Leica 9mm? An excellent lens.
