PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This remarkable fast speed ZUIKO wideangle was believed to have been among the early batch of Zuiko lenses introduced with the OM 35mm SLR system (probably not entirely accurate with this remarks as it may not have been made available with the original Olympus M1 body but could well be introducing between year of 1973/74 as Rick's compilation database suggests. By the time the OM-2 was officially introduced, this lense was already listed in the Zuiko lense section in an OM-2 sales catalogue). This retrofocus design Zuiko wideangle uses a unique 9 elements in 8 groups optical design which aims to minimize common aberrations such as distortion, astigmatism, coma and curvilinear aberrations commonly found in design of fast speed wideangles while at the same time, offers an exceptional compact dimension- It weighs merely 245g - easily one* of the lightest in its class.
Overall, this retrofocus type Zuiko wideangle lense is a lovely lense to own and use. Combining good factors in its unusually fast lens speed of f/2.0, good wide vision in picture coverage and reasonably compact in size for its speed, high resolving power with high contrast across its entire apertures and focusing range. A special correcting lense group compensates for aberrations at close focusing distances. It is an excellent lense for night photography with or without flash, and for shooting in cramped interiors under low available light conditions. Despite all these, yet the lense accepts 49mm threaded filters. It is an excellent wideangle to supplement OM photographers who may have own a 21mm ultrawide.
