Since dropping just one lens last year, a micro-four-thirds M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm f/3.5 Macro IS PRO, the brand formerly known as Olympus, has been starting off 2024 with a bang.
Alongside these two new lenses, including an ultra-wide zoom lens and a colossal telephoto option, OM SYSTEMS has also unveiled their first branded camera with OM-1 Mark II (which you can read more about here).
Sitting on opposite ends of their OM SYSTEM lens lineup spectrum, let’s take a closer look at the wide-angle M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6 II and the long-range M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-600mm f/5-6.3 IS to see how they might be solid lenses to bag for your own shooting needs.
OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6 II
A sleek redesign of its lens predecessor, this new lens from OM SYSTEM is a compact, ultra-wide-angle zoom that should be perfect for travel vloggers, as well as landscape and architecture photographers and videographers.
When used with a full-frame camera system, this M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6 II will have a focal length equivalent of 18-36mm, which should boost its appeal for a wider range of uses than its niche ultra-wide design would indicate.
