REVIEW: Olympus Zuiko Digital 35mm f/3.5 Macro

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.
Pros:
  • Compact
  • lightweight design
  • Good optical performance
  • Good build quality
  • Good flare and ghosting performance
  • Great value
Cons:
  • Indirect electronic manual focus system is an acquired taste
  • Barrel distortion

Pros:
  • Clarity
  • color reproduction
  • Light Weight
  • Sharpness
Cons:
  • Slow focus at times
  • Hunts for focus

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.
