Olympus 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5 review

Double trouble for Olympus' wide angle hopes

Good handling and optical performance

REVIEW: Olympus 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5 wide-angle zoom

This wide angle zoom from Olympus is an attempt to cover the main drawback of cropped sensor cameras, that of the loss of angle of view. Designed for the 4/3rds system that sports a 2x crop factor, we take a look to see if it goes far enough.

Good build quality (Splash resistant); Good optical quality and control; of nasties.; Lens hood supplied

Not really wide enough; Electronic ‘manual' focus; Lens cap fiddly with hood fitted

The lens is a nicely put together piece of kit with a semi-pro spec and price to match. It sits nicely on the camera (I used an Olympus E-500). The disappointing aspect is the coverage, caused by the 2x crop factor of the 4/3rds system, leaving it a...
