Whoever is reading this review knows that the Olympus digital SLR is a good system that ran obsolete due to commercial reasons. I basically love the telescopic power of the Olympus 50-200 F2.8-3.5 and the 70-300 mm lenses in the system, to complement those , the 11-22mm lens got the job done well from 22mm wide to a standard 44 mm range, and this lens is sharp and focusing very fast. For all of the above qualities and wide ranges, for the price a Fuji X100s camera, it's a steal!

After a year of experience with the Zuiko "kit" lenses that came with my E-500, I am extremely pleased. The entry-level kit lenses (14-45 and 40-150mm in my case) that Olympus sells are far and away better than the Nikon/Canon equivalents in optical quality and overall construction 'solidity'. The quality of the Zuiko "kit" lenses alone should justify the purchase of an Olympus DSLR system over the competition for the vast majority of photographers, Olympus' excellent reputation for great lenses even at the low-end is well deserved. Nevertheless, I was looking for a wider-angle lens. I looked at the Sigma 10-20mm and the Zuiko 9-18mm along with the 11-22mm Zuiko "pro-grade". I had originally leaned toward the Sigma because I thought the extra perspective at 10mm was attractive. Ultimately though I decided that 11mm would be wide enough, I liked the extra length at 22mm, the faster glass at f2.8, and in the end it was the water-resistant "splash-proof" feature that tipped me toward the 11-22mm Zuiko, as I do a lot of photography on and around the water. After a hundred or so shots I'd say the image quality is excellent, the images are always perfectly rectilinear (lines remain straight even at the edges at 11mm), great sharpness and contrast, and the lens is relatively compact for "fast glass". The only thing I would change is to have some extra focal length -- 30mm at the long end would be ideal, but of course the lens would then have to be slower and/or heavier. Overall, this lens is your best choice if you are looking to make that first addition to your E-system "kit" lenses, and you want to take a step up into the pro-grade class. For landscapes, skyscapes, architecture and interiors, you can't do better for the money, and wide-open at f2.8 it's great in low light.Read full review
Scrivo queste righe per i lettori italiani e per quelli che capiscono la nostra lingua. Olympus per me significa fotografia. Nel mio passato ho anche avuto il piacere di utilizzare fantastiche Nikon e straordinari obiettivi. Quando ho dovuto scegliere però non ho avuto dubbi, ho dato via Nikon e sono rimasto con le mie care Olympus. Ho utilizzato fin dal 1978 Olympus e conservo ancora oggi e scatto foto qualche volta perché non si rovinino, con tutti i modelli. Poi finalmente sono passato alle digitali, le compatte e alla fine ad SRL come la E620, a cui collego tramite anello adattatore tutti gli obiettivi in mio possesso e sono tanti. Quando ho sentito la necessità di acquistare un obiettivo digitale di qualità da utilizzare quasi come un "fisso" non ho avuto dubbi: l'11-22 senza dubbi. Perché? Perché la focale 22 (un 44 mm. per noi di Olympus) è quanto di più vicino al 35 mm. utilizzato dai grandi fotografi del passato e del presente (vedi le Leica con focale fissa); e se nello stesso momento ti serve un grandangolo degno di tale nome hai un 22 mm f.2.8 la cui qualità è indiscutibile. Oltre queste "misure" si va nelle ottiche particolari, tipo un fish eye (l'8 mm. Olimpus pare sia stupendo) e ti sposti dall'altra parte al 70 mm. Effettivamente sto utilizzando l'11-22 per le mie escursioni di trecking. La polvere e l'umidità non lo spaventano. Io lo consiglio, per gli ottimi risultati che ne ricavo. Buon acquisto a tutti.Read full review
This lens is INCREDIBLE. I've owned one for years, this is replacing a stolen one. The glass quality is high grade, the photos are bright and sharp, it works well in low light AND DISTORTION, is less then the Oly 9-18 or 7-14 in the 11-14mm range. It is even better then my 14-54 High grade in the 14-22 mm range. It is nearly as bright as the Oly ZD 50 mm macro, the best Macro Olympus makes. This lens is such a joy to use on waterfalls, and TALL TALL Redwood Trees, where you can't get back very far.
high grade lens,quality glass.I use on micro 4/3 system,omd-em5,work good for me in manual mode,Im using it for landscape photography mainly.If using autofocus,it is slow,compare to micro 4/3 lens,for manual focus on micro 4/3 system is very good.
