Olympus' Zuiko Digital 35mm f/3.5 Macro And Macro Flash; Versatility For Close-Up Shots
When I first heard about a 35mm focal length macro lens my mouth began to water. The $229 price tag was an immediate inducement, as were the compactness and lightweight of this glass. What threw me, though, was the focal length.

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

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.

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 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.
