Decent specialty lens for shooting close up images of flowers et al. I don't use it alot but I had to have it. Olympus E500 Digital SLR camara

Solid construction; Decent close up images; Focuses well at close ranges; Easy to handle

Professional users could do better; but for occasional usage it does the job nicely

Olympus Digital Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 macro - Review / Lens Test Report

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.

You do not need any extensions to get 1:1 (life-size) magnification (equivalent to 2x on a 35mm camera). You can bring this compact lens everywhere, and enjoy taking close-up pictures in your daily scenes, such as, flowers and insects.
