OM Digital Solutions M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm F4.0 PRO
A few days ago I acquired the new OM Digital Solutions M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25mm f4.0 PRO lens, replacing three lenses in my micro four thirds kit. (I had to shop around before I finally found a source with the 8-25mm in stock.) This is the first lens marketed by OM Digital Solutions, the name chosen by JIP which purchased Olympus Imaging in January of this year. Priced at just under $1,100 USD, the lens retains the traditional Olympus branding. I have yet to take the 8-25mm on a trip, but I have been well pleased with images captured in my local area. Since its release in late 2016, my travel lens of choice has been the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f4.0 IS PRO, currently selling for just below $1,300 USD. It has been on my camera on every long-distance adventure, shooting both indoor and outdoor scenes. Unfortunately, architectural and other ultra-wide situations required a lens change, a poor option when traveling with other people or in a tour group. The M.Zuiko 8-25mm f4.0 PRO (left) a
