Olympus G.Zuiko Auto-W 35mm f/2.8 - Olympus OM Mount

The Olympus G.Zuiko Auto-W 35mm f/2.8 is a classic wide-angle prime lens for the OM film system. Noted for its compact size, it fits the 'pancake' philosophy of the OM series cameras perfectly. With a seven-element design (indicated by the 'G' prefix), it offers a versatile focal length for street and documentary photography. It provides a natural perspective and is well-regarded for its sharpness and contrast when stopped down slightly. When buying used, common issues include oil on the aperture blades and internal dust. SDS technicians check the focus ring for smooth, consistent resistance and inspect the glass for cleaning marks or 'OM disease' (balsam separation or fungus common in older Zuiko glass). We also verify that the aperture clicks into place firmly at each stop and that the mount is free from excessive wear.
