Olympus M. Zuiko Premium 30mm f/3.5 Macro ED Lens Review

Olympus M. Zuiko Premium 30mm f/3.5 Macro ED Verdict

An uncommon but useful focal length, excellent performance and very close focusing all make the new lens an interesting option. It is compact, efficient, although lacking in some features that can be useful on a dedicated macro, such as the focusing and depth of field scales. We are also missing weather sealing.

Nonetheless, if a compact, inexpensive lens is required then the performance will not disappoint.
