Overview

The Optomax 35mm f/2.8 Auto is a budget third-party lens often found on Olympus OM10 bodies. Optically, it delivers good exposure and shadow detail, but is prone to flare when shooting towards light and shows noticeable grain in backlit conditions. Build and handling are basic; focusing can be difficult in low light, requiring zone focusing. It suits casual shooters seeking an inexpensive, compact normal lens for aperture-priority cameras, but not for demanding or backlit scenes.
