Along with the new E-PL1 Micro Four Thirds camera announced on February second, Olympus also announced two new Micro Four Thirds lenses. The new M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 (18-36mm equivalent) and M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 (28-300mm equivalent) are designed specifically for the Micro Four Thirds cameras. They’re compact, light and best of all – they have significantly improved auto focus compared to the previous two Olympus Micro Four Thirds lenses. And I’m not just saying that because I read it in the press release. I got a little early hands-on with the new 9-18mm lens and the auto focus performance was noticeably quicker and more accurate than the 14-42mm Micro Four Thirds kit lens.
