Olympus m zuiko 8 25mm f 4 pro vs om system m zuiko 9 18mm f 4 5 6 ii?

The Olympus M.Zuiko 8-25mm f/4 PRO and the OM System M.Zuiko 9-18mm f/4-5.6 II cover different jobs on Micro Four Thirds.

The 8-25mm f/4 PRO is the more versatile one. It frames like 16-50mm on full frame, so it covers wide to standard in one lens, and its f/4 aperture is stated as a single maximum. I'd pick it for travel and everyday shooting.

The 9-18mm f/4-5.6 II is the specialist. It gives an ultra-wide 18-36mm equivalent and is small and collapsible, which makes it a good choice for landscapes, architecture and interiors. It also gets darker as you zoom, so keep that in mind in dim light.

Both fit the same Micro Four Thirds bodies, and neither is stabilised.
