A marvelous macro lens! July 9, 2008
I bought this lens for my Olympus E500. I've been more than pleased (see uploaded photo "Morning Kiss II") I uploaded the same photo to Olympus web site for their monthly gallery. I was surprised when Oly rep called me for permission to use it to headline their corporate web site! Cool!
I am anxious to use it on my new Oly E-3.
I don't know that I have ever gotten better results with a lens at this price...or even twice this price. Highly recommended for your four-thirds camera.
Amazing quality May 9, 2008
I love this lens so much. It is attached to my E 510 more than 50% of the time now. Very sharp and clear lens. Note that focussing distance is low. So to get that extremely close up macros, you need to get down on knees and closer to subject :). Light in weight and fits easily in any travel kit.
Great, just great April 24, 2008
hello,
I've never seen a good lens for a price like this.
the photos are crisp, very sharp, and nice colours.
This is an essential in your olympus collection!!
 Olympus Zuiko 35mm macro lens March 3, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Overall this is a good lens. Affordable, compact and very light weight. IQ is also good and it has great macro capabilities. So, you may ask, why I'm rating it *** only? The reason is because AF when using it as a macro lens is very difficult to achieve and very inaccurate. You need to take many shots of the object moving the camera slightly each time and with luck one shot will be focused right where you wanted. You also need to get very very close to the subject, which is OK when photographing flowers but not as good with insects and other live creatures. The lens becomes attractive more because of its low cost (compared to other Zuiko lenses) and the fact that it can be used for portrait and general purpose photography (keep in mind that a 35mm lens on a 4/3 system is in reality 70mm). Again, recommended only if you are on a budget and want to have a small, compact macro lens without spending a lot of $$$.
Excellent All Around Lens February 16, 2008

I've owned this lens for about a year and a half and originally I purchased it strictly for macro (and it's cheaper than the 50 f/2). I've learned that this lens does it all. Portraits, landscapes, street shooting, in addition to macro work. It's a 1:1 lens so you can get really close and pick out amazing details. It's as small as it looks and is quite compact. it fits nicely on the E-300 with or without the grip. One vice is that you will have to move in closer to a subject at times due to it's short focal length. For jittery critters the 50 f/2 or Sigma's 105 f/2.8 and 150 f/2.8 macro lenses may be better options. Since I do a lot of studio/indoor shoots and all of these lenses are too long for my needs. Another thing to note (and this is true of all macro lenses) is that it's not the best for capturing fast moving subjects. It can be done with practice, but results would be easier to come by using a non-macro lens. If you already own the 50 f/2 keep it, but if you're still on the fence for which lens to get don't over look this gem!
