Description — Olympus 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5
The Olympus Zuiko Digital 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5 is a dedicated wide-angle zoom lens for the Four Thirds camera system. Its focal length range runs from 11mm to 22mm, making it a versatile option for wide-field photography disciplines. At the wide end, the lens delivers a maximum aperture of f/2.8, stepping to f/3.5 at the longer end of the zoom range.
Both autofocus and manual focus modes are supported, offering flexibility across different shooting styles and environments. The lens accepts 72mm front filters — a practical consideration for photographers who regularly use polarizers or neutral density filters in the field. Weighing 485g, it has a solid physical presence.
Notably, the lens does not include image stabilization, so this is a factor to weigh when considering handheld shooting in lower light. Native mount compatibility is limited to the Four Thirds mount, making it a purpose-built choice for photographers already invested in that system.
