Strength:
Sharp, small, smooth
Weakness:
None This is the only lens I really used with an OM-2S and OM10. I have a 20"x30" blowup of a sunset that was taken on some no-name (generic) film. There is so much detail in the photo. I'll never sell this lens, even if I have no camera to use it with. Sharp as hell. Customer Service Never needed Similar Products Used: None |

Strength:
1) You get it for free as a body cover with any OM body.
Weakness:
None. I just received a couple of 20x30 cm prints (8"*12") from pictures taken with this lens. They are absolutely stunning. If you use a good film, there's no problem enlarging the results to poster size. There's even one picture that I took with the 50mm/f1.8 backwards, holding the filter side against my OM-3 body by hand, covering as much as possible of the line between them with my fingers to stop light from coming in. It's a close-up of a flower and the colors and the detail are amazing. Customer Service I buy all my Olympus stuff 2nd hand Similar Products Used: I've got a 28mm/f2.8 and a 75-150 too. I'm currently using a Minolta TC-1 |

none that I know of This is the best 50mm lens I've used. I've used it with my OM1 the result is amazing. I'll use the tele zoom lens when I need to zoom in and I can't get close to the subject, most of time this 50mm zuiko lens is on my camera.

OM-Zuiko 50mm f1.8
Strength:
Small, light, fast, and sharp - a great normal lens.
Weakness:
I don't really like 50mm lenses, so I rarely use it. As fine a 50mm lens as you could want, an excellent performer and a fine value... But personally, I find the 50mm angle of view constricting as a "normal" lens, and use the 35/2. Customer Service No occasion to contact.
