from Fotofrenzy Summary: I have only recently purchased this lens after using a Zuiko 24mm for many years. This particular Zuiko is simply stunning. The bright F2 aperture is great for focussing in low light. A 92 degree angle of view is superb for those 'big sky' type pictures, especially when used in conjuction with a slim polarising filter (it needs to be a thin framed polariser, like the Olympus C-POL to reduce the chance of vignetting). The build quality is outstanding and typical of most Zuiko's. It looks and feels like a real gem. If I look after it, I think it will last me a lifetime. It is such a shame that the OM system is out of production. In my opinion nothing can touch Zuiko optics. The results are incredibly sharp, but I had little doubt about this, given the high cost. Highly recommended, but a scarce optic to source, even secondhand. Strengths: Build quality
Image quality
Size Weaknesses: Cost, but it is worth the money
It is a shame that the system is discontinued. Similar Products Used: Zuiko 24mm Customer Service: Never needed it in the 22 years I have used olympus.
