Overview

The Olympus OM-System G.Zuiko Auto-W 28mm f/3.5 is a compact, all-metal wide-angle prime known for solid optical performance and excellent value for budget-minded OM system builders. It is very sharp for its size but suffers from significant flare due to single coatings, making a hood advisable. Build quality is high with smooth focusing, though the aperture ring lacks distinct clicks. It suits photographers seeking a lightweight, affordable wide-angle, but those needing faster apertures or better flare resistance may prefer alternatives.
