Overview

The Olympus OM-System Zuiko MC Auto-w 28mm f/2 is a manual focus, all-metal lens from the film era, offering smooth focusing and balanced handling on adapted cameras. Optically, it delivers very high resolution at f/8 with faithful color and low chromatic aberration, but at f/2 it is slightly soft in the center and soft at the edges, with noticeable vignetting. It exhibits some flare and internal reflections when shooting into light, which can be used creatively or avoided by reframing. Bokeh is decent for a wide-angle, and close-up performance benefits from floating elements. This lens suits photographers comfortable with manual focus and exposure bracketing, who value sharpness at stopped-down apertures and classic rendering.
