Olympus Zuiko 35mm f/2.8 Shift - Olympus OM Mount

The Zuiko 35mm f/2.8 Shift is a specialised wide-angle lens designed for architectural photography on the Olympus OM system. It allows for 10mm of vertical or horizontal shift to correct perspective distortion, such as converging verticals in tall buildings. Unlike standard lenses, it lacks an automatic diaphragm, requiring the user to stop down manually before taking the exposure. Check the shift mechanism for smooth, firm movement; it should hold its position without sliding unintentionally. The rotating mount should click positively into place. SDS ensures the glass is clear of internal haze and that the manual aperture ring operates with distinct detents. Because these were often used in professional environments, we check the barrel for significant wear or impact damage that might affect the precision of the shift movements.
