Olympus Zuiko MC Auto-W 28mm f/2.8 - Olympus OM Mount

The Zuiko 28mm f/2.8 is a quintessential wide-angle lens for the Olympus OM system, favoured for its extremely small dimensions and lightweight build. This 'MC' version features multi-coating to improve contrast and reduce flare. It provides a versatile 75-degree angle of view, making it an ideal choice for street photography, travel, and environmental portraits where a natural wide perspective is required. Potential buyers should examine the multi-coating for any signs of cleaning marks or coating loss on the front and rear elements. The aperture ring should click decisively into each stop. SDS inspects the internal glass for any 'haze' that can sometimes develop in older Zuiko wide-angles. Ensure the focus helicoid is smooth across the entire range; a stiff focus ring may indicate the need for a service to replace aged lubricants.
