Olympus Zuiko Digital 50mm F2.0 Macro Lens Review

 

The Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50mm 1:2.0 Macro was one of the very first Four Thirds system lenses, announced along with the launch of the E-1 back in June 2003. With an unusually fast maximum aperture for a macro lens, it's described as a dual purpose...

Superb image quality even wide open - sharp, distortion-free with no lateral CA ; Compact and lightweight compared to similar lenses for larger formats ; Fast maximum aperture for a macro lens

Unrefined autofocus motor and no focus range limiter switch ; Susceptible to flare with bright light sources in the frame ; Bokeh chromatic aberration at wider apertures ; No macro ratio scale

The Olympus Zuiko Digital 50mm F2.0 Macro is a lens which we've held in high regard ever since we started using it for our reviews of Four Thirds camera bodies, and subjecting it to our full optical test suite shows precisely why. Certainly in terms of...

Lens Test: Olympus Zuiko Digital 50mm f/2 AF macro

 

This is the second macro lens for Olympus's Four Thirds digital system, and while it lacks the 1:1 magnifying power of the earlier 35mm f/3.5 macro Zuiko, at f/2.0, it's much faster. Given the 2X 35mm lens factor on all Olympus DSLRs, the 50mm macro...

Olympus 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 ED SWD Zuiko Digital review by cputeq

 

My background : Shot Pentax (K200D, K20D), Canon 40D, Nikon D90, D300, D700, and Sony A850. Advanced amateur.

Sharp, fast, good weight for what it is, nice tripod collar, decent macro

Can hunt in certain situations (blame it on the camera?), bokeh can get busy

This lens was one of the reasons for me to go back to Olympus after having switched to Pentax last year. For me there is nothing to compare it with, the image quality couldnt really be much better for a Zoom lens, it is weather sealed, the focus is...

A must have for an Olympus DSLR user

 

I bought my Olympus E3 with a 12-60mm SWD lens and rate that combo as awesome! The auto focus is just so fast, and the clarity of the lens is unbeatable. I have just added the 50-200mm SWD lens, and cannot complement this lens highly enough. It's so...
