What these focal lengths actually give you on the OM System OM-5 Mark II
The OM System OM-5 Mark II has a Micro Four Thirds sensor, so it sees a 2× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 2× tighter than its marked number. That works against you here: the widest option, the Panasonic Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4, frames like 16mm — not as wide as its marked number suggests. For a genuinely wide view on the OM System OM-5 Mark II you want a lens marked around 12mm or shorter.
| Lens | Marked | Frames like, on the OM System OM-5 Mark II |
|---|---|---|
| Panasonic Leica DG 10-25mm f/1.7 | 10-25mm | 20–50mm |
| Panasonic Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4 | 8-18mm | 16–36mm |
| OM System M.Zuiko 8-25mm f/4 PRO | 8-25mm | 16–50mm |
