Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight

The Olympus Zuiko Digital 35mm f/3.5 macro is one of the most affordable macro lenses around and we aren't talking about a third party lens here but about a product from a genuine manufacturer. The reason for the rather low price point is, of course, the comparatively slow speed of the lens. A max.

Having been an Olympus fan and user since my first E10 then E500, had debated for along time about whether I had a need for a prime lens. Thought that the standard zooms that I had would do the job. Boy, was I wrong. For the price and size, this is a superb lens.

Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

Olympus' 35mm macro gives an equivalent angle of view similar to a 70mm lens used on a full-frame camera and it offers 1:1 life sized magnification too.

Compact; lightweight design; Good optical performance; Good build quality; Good flare and ghosting performance; Great value

Indirect electronic manual focus system is an acquired taste; Barrel distortion

Mycket bra produkt, väldigt prisvärd.

Klarar äkta 1:1 macro, väldigt bra skärpa och känns väldigt bra i förhållande till priset; Det finns andra macro-objektiv som är lite bättre avseende ljuskänslighet, men inte till det priset.

Inte mycket, möjligen att det "känns" plastigt - men själva optiken är det minsann inget fel på..; Jagar dock fokus i lite väl stort omfång om man inte använder single spot fokusering

This lens performs as described by olympus. Have had very good results.

Gary takes a close look at the close up world of Olympus. The 35mm f/3.5 is a low-priced macro lens designed specifically for Four-Thirds digital SLRs. It's not often that a marque macro lens can be had for under ￡200, but that's what we have here.

Small and cheap plastic macro lens with surprising great optics.

- very sharp lens; quite pleasing bokeh; great cooperation with both 1.4x and 2.0x converters

- none for given price

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
