Weeeeell, not really. They also list it for the 9-18, just as with the
earlier one. Which circles back around to Mike's comments, and my
suggestion that it may be proper for both.
There is a JJC version too...

Well, son of a gun, I didn't notice that appear. OlyAmerica is weird.
They know I have that lens (I think the 9-18 is registered, too.) They
send me plenty of promotions, but never bothered to mention that. Had
they done so, they might (or might not) have sold one at their prices
before the clones appeared. As it is, I have a JJC coming for $11 with
free shipping.
Once I opened the above link, I shortly received a promo email from
them. No special price, though, and a few minutes too late.
I have a 5% discount through the end of the year, but that's not enough
incentive. $42.99 - 5% + shipping can't compete with $11.
