    Overview

    The Olympus Zuiko 35-80mm f/2.8 ED is a rare, high-quality vintage zoom lens, praised for its sharpness and constant f/2.8 aperture. It rivals prime lenses optically, with good center sharpness and acceptable corners, though purple fringing can occur. Build is solid but heavy, with tight zoom/focus rings and fragile barrel paint. It suits manual-focus enthusiasts who value optical performance and are willing to manage its weight and handling quirks.
