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.

Pros:
  • Clarity

  • Light Weight
  • Sharpness
Cons:
  • Slow focus at times
  • Hunts for focus

I would buy this lens again without hesitation. An excellent choice. A+++++

This lens is an excellent choice from the Zuiko range of macro lenses. I decided on this lens rather than the faster 50mm F2 because this did 1/1 with out a tube behind it where as the 50mm F2 requires a tube to give full 1/1 ratio. It is also an excellent portrait lens being 70mm equiv.

Excellent Macro lens Very Sharp

Primarily used for very close to subject macro photo. Very sharp lens with good depth of field on very close tiny objects. Auto focus will hunt when subject ius extremely close and complex. Manual focus is easily available to counter this.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Light but sturdy
  • Lightweight
  • Nice Bokeh
  • Rugged
  • Strong Construction
Cons:
  • Auto focus hunts

Olympus Zuiko Digital 35mm f3.5 Macro

Invariably it's the sensor size and the Four Thirds format that dominates any discussions about Olympus's E-series cameras, but what many may not realise is the depth and strength of the lens line-up behind it.

Great value and Excellent Quality

Used primarily for taking macro photos for metal and jewelry, this lens easily does what it advertises. At half the price of the other options and easily changed out, we couldn't ask for more.
