I haven’t shot with the lens yet, but it is in superb condition, and the aperture blades turn smoothly. Looks better than the pictures! Great value for vintage OM glass. Lens is lightweight and rather small/compact, and lens hood is a solid addition.

I use this lens for my Olympus OM1 and it takes sharp and good contrast pictures. It is very light and easy to cary. It has minimal distortion and bokeh is very acceptable. Sharpness is very much appreciated from 5.6 to 11. I also have an om nex adapter and have used this in my mirror less sony new and its great as well!
I don't think anyone would dispute the fact that Zuiko 24mm f/2.8 is a very high quality Zuiko wideangle lens Current Version: Zuiko 24mm f/2.8 Focal length: 24mm Lens construction: 7 groups, 8 elements Angles of view: Diagonal: 84° Distance scale: (m) 0.25m to infinity (OO) Focusing: Helicoid Apertures & Minimum photographic range: f/16 - f/2.8; 24cm x 16cm Diaphragm: Automatic Filter size: 49mm Length: 31mm Weight: 185g (amazing weight and size almost like pancake lens !) Optically, this retrofocus Zuiko 24mm f/2.8 wideangle lense consists of 8 elements in 7 groups design and matches in its close focusing ability as the f/2.0 counterpart down to 0.25m (0.8 ft) and it merely weighs 180g This lens is in the "Hall of fame of lenses from 24-25mm" (*note that its brother the Zuiko 24mm F2.0 does not even make it to the list.) - Hall of Fame - 24mm-25mm Olympus 24mm f2.8 Leica 24mm f2.8 Nikon 17-35mm AF-S Olympus 24mm PC f3.5 Leica 21-35mm Nikon 24mm f2.8 AIS Canon 24mm f1.4 L Canon 16-35mm Canon 17-40mm Tamron SP17-35mm Sigma 15-30mm Canon 24-70mm f2.8 Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 Canon 24-105mm f4Read full review

I was able to get a hold of one of these and was most pleased with the results. I shoot slide film as well as digital and this lens really gave me the best images I've ever recorded with an ultra wide angle lense. When I project the slides it's like I'm right there in the scene. It's so light and compact it easily fits in a pocket. When I'm on a photo trip I use this along with my 55m f1.2 and 100mm f2.8 for the sharpest images possible with the smallest kit. I love deep blue skies so I usually keep a genuine Olympus polariser (49mm or 55mm)on each lense as well. The other cool feature is the imaging quality holds up even with the use of an extension tube for close-up photography. Because of what I've seen with this lens, as soon as possible, my next lense acquisition will be the Olympus 21mm. I love the ultrawides for landscape and interior architectural photography and it's clear Olympus knows what they're doing.Read full review
