    Overview

    The Olympus OM Zuiko 38mm f/3.5 Macro is a preset manual diaphragm lens designed for magnifications from 1.8× to 6×, suited for small objects. It uses an RMS screw thread requiring an adapter for OM mount, and lacks a filter thread, complicating flash attachment. Optically, it was available in single-coated and multicoated versions. Build is robust but handling is specialized: aperture scale appears upside down when viewed from behind, intended for copy stand use. It suits macro photographers needing high magnification on bellows, but not general use.
