    Overview

    The MC auto zoom 35-70 mm f/3.5-4.5 is a variable-aperture zoom with macro capability (0.45m close focus). Optically, it delivers clear, sharp images with neutral Olympus colors and moderate contrast, though a slight blue tint may appear. Build quality is solid with convenient ring placement for easy handling. It suits travel and walk-around use. However, the constant-aperture f/3.6 version is sharper and more desired. Best for Olympus OM shooters seeking a versatile zoom.
