Model Reviewed: OM-Zuiko 18mm f3.5 Summary: This is my second-favorite Zuiko. It lives on one of my bodies. I almost never go shooting without it. Even if I am going to a shoot that cannot possibly use it (portrait, wildlife, etc.), it is so small and light that I take it along. (In such cases, I often use the 18mm on a different body to document the shoot set-up.) Strengths: Not only is it a fine super-wide, but it is small and light also. I often use it set hyperfocal for "grab shots" without looking through the viewfinder. I leave the 49 -> 72 adaptor attached all the time, and use a 72mm lens cap on that. Weaknesses: The lens-rotation stop screw came out, and I had to be careful not to over-turn the lens during removal. Camtech supplied me with a replacement screw at a reasonable price. Similar Products Used: Vivitar 17mm. Customer Service: John Hermison at Camtech is great -- thanks!
