Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Zuiko Digital 11-22 millimeter f2.8-3.5 features two aspherical glass lenses that minimize distortion, spherical aberration and "Koma" aberration. A new multi-coating process applied to the first two lenses helps remove ghosting and glare, problems often associated with wide-angle lenses. The 11-22 millimeter focusing system also utilizes a floating mechanism to deliver sharp, high contrast images up to the lens' closest focusing distance, 0.28 millimeter (11.02 inches) at any zoom setting.

Zuiko digital specific lenses are designed specifically for digital capture with smart technology that delivers edge-to-edge sharpness with reduced distortion and shading. The lenses are designed to perfectly match the imager so light strikes the sensor directly, ensuring rich, accurate colors, sharp contrasts, and bright images even at the edges. Zuiko digital specific lenses deliver higher resolutions, faster aperture speeds and focusing, and more compact sizes than equivalent 35 millimeter lenses.

Zuiko digital specific lenses are based on the new FourThirds System, an open standard for digital SLR cameras and interchangeable lens systems that utilize a 4/3-type image sensor. The FourThirds System is designed to achieve an optimal balance between image quality, camera and lens size, and system expandability. The system maximizes the performance of image sensors and lenses with a 100 percent digital-from-the-ground-up design.



Product Description

When you need wide-angle lenses with great performance and fast apertures, Zuiko Digital Wide Zoom lenses can deliver. The superb optics are designed specifically for digital photography - delivering the highest image quality - with their design highlighted by two aspherical glass lens elements that help prevent aberrations and distortions. These elements combine with multi-coating on the first two lenses, which contributes to the removal of ghost or glare that can occur with a wide-angle lens, so clarity of images is obtained at all distances. Floating focusing system results in close focusing distance of 0.28m (11.02 inches) for close-up macro shots. Zuiko Digital Wide Zoom is ideal for professional use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Olympus best mid level lens for 4/3 system, April 4, 2006
This lens is simply a must have for landscape work. Optically it is better than the 14-54 and 50-200 that completes olympus mid-end pro glass. Focus is silent and fast. Only wish it could be wider as the 2x crop factor makes it a 22-44mm in 35mm terms, 90 degree FOV. For architecture I would recommend the 7-14mm, but at $700 it is still a best buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb wide-angle lens, November 5, 2007
I bought an Olympus 11-22mm lens from Cameta Camera earlier this spring and found I use it much more frequently than my 14-54mm. The 11-22mm is essentially a near-super wide to normal lens that is both sharp across the image (sharper than the 14-54mm) and displays very very little distortion across its entire zoom range. An added plus--an exposure set at one zoom setting is good for any other, so you can lock an exposure and just focus between zoom settings. Auto focus is very fast. Images show very little CA at extreme edges. It takes a lens filter without signs of vignetting (dark image edges).

The lens works well on my E-510 and E-330. In fact, it works so well on the E-330 that it stays on this camera.

This is simply a superb lens for landscape and makes the Olympus 4:3 system unique for its overall small size and image quality. Images from the 11-22mm easily print full-size onto 13x19 papers with sharp resolution of detail (using Epson 2200 and 2400 printers). What a keeper. I highly recommend the 11-22mm.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must have, March 23, 2006
By G. Diaz (PERKASIE, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Let me start by saying that I am not a pro, I just jumped into the DSLR world about 4 months ago. That being said, this lens is a must for your collection. The lens is pricey at about $700 but it is in Olympus's mid level range ( Quality wise). The pictures from this lens are out of this world, great color and detail. Even the limited distortion you might get at its widest settings can be used as creative or just cropped out. I have taken dozens of pictures with it already at all of its range with no bothersome distortion. For outdoor shots it's a must have, you simply get sooo much more. So if you looking at it and your undecided let me say it is worth at least giving it a try. I hope this review helped you out.
