Olympus best mid level lens for 4/3 system | Rating:
“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.” – by M. Lo

Olympus f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Lens set works great. | Rating:
“The f2.8-3.5 Zuiko Lens set: 11-22mm, 14-54mm, and the 50-200mm takes really good quality pictures. I can’t wait until the new E510 is released in June with 10 mega pixels and the active LCD screen. My friend has the Cannon 30D which, cost twice as much as my Olympus E500, but with my lense, I can take a picture with exceptionally good quality. Anyway, the 11-22mm lens works great. “ – by James Eaddy

Best wide angle lens that I have used… | Rating:
“The Olympus lens has proven exceptional. The 11 – 22 perspective is ideal in capturing Colorado landscapes. The photographs have been crisp with amazing color. In addition, the lens is dust and splash resistant making it ideal for outside work. “ – by D. Gresty

Superb wide-angle lens | Rating:
“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 13×19 papers with sharp resolution of detail (using Epson 2200 and 2400 printers).” – by Douglas Henderson

Exceptional clarity and linearity | Rating:
“I used it to take a photo of my house from the curb and got the entire lot (75′ wide) from 50 feet away on the sidewalk, with the grass in front in focus, as well as the sky above, and parts of my neighbor’s homes. This would give a realator alot of flexibility to either zoom in or crop the picture in photoshop for a front on view for flyers. “ – by HMMWV

Fantastic Lens | Rating:
“The shots that I have been able to take, including some indoor available light and flash, have been superb. Extremely sharp optics with excellent FOV. This lens will probably stay on my L1 body for all-around use. “ – by Donald F. Storner

Perfect for Portraits, Panoramas, 3D and Infrared | Rating:
“At 22mm/f11 this lens is perfect for the kind of portraits, where you need high depth of field, e.g. on the front cover of my Suntan Book (see link below), the family members are lined up behind each other. For panoramas the low distortion and large depth of field make panoramas possible, where closeup and far-away elements are combined.” – by Rolf Bertram

Amazing low-light wide-angle possibilities | Rating:
“With an aperture of F2.8 and image stabilized body, this lens can take some incredible handheld lowlight shots. On E520 and other bodies with IS, it is possible to take handheld shots as slow as 1/2~1/5 seconds at 11mm.” – by Drifter

Olympus Zuiko Digital 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5 Specifications

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.
