Agree - that said I think the problem is that the OP did not specify if he was talking about the Z9-18 or the M.Z9-18 and everyone else just ran with what they thought. Compared to the M.Z version, the Z9-18 is large.

I really do wish that when there are multiple versions of the same focal length people would specify which they were talking about as it would make discussions of same much easier.

That said, as to the OP question I would go with and do have and use the wonderful little M.Z9-18 to compliment my larger and even more wonderful M.Z12-40.
