Pros:Af very fast and accurate. Lighter. Economical. Minimum distance
Cons:Not very sharp. Bright colors, but mixed
Opinion:I wanted to try this 30 mm due to its minimum distance macro and greater ability to use given that corresponds to a 60 mm, but I regretted. Nothing to do with his older brother 60 mm. I don't find that very sharp also the colors are strong and mixed. Take much advantage the micro contrast that has nothing to do with the sharpness. I'm disappointed and I think soon I will sell
Opinion:At the time of the analog to a certain point I had replaced the 50 1.8, universal, with the macro 50 mm 3.5, very clear, and I appreciated this quality. After many tests with other optics I came to the choice of a time and I realized that I had at my disposal what for me is truly a universal perspective. They alternate with other fixed and always short lenses ranging from still life to street, rarely macro, the AF is as fast as that of many other Olympus lenses, quite fast for the street, but not suitable for nature shooting, even for the focal length . This lens has found a precise space in the bag and the quality of the images will make me forget its flaws.
Opinion:Lens purchased more for the sake than for need. Immediately emerges the high sharpness at the center and the minimum focusing distance (about 14/15 mm). Unfortunately, 30 mm are a bit "short" but they are useless. It's a lens created for macros but also (and I add, above all) for still life. RnUnica fails, in my opinion, the diaphragm too closed: it had been a AF / 2.8 lens would be the TOP.
Pros:High sharpness at the center and top edge, high magnification, high proximity to fire, no distortion and significant aberrations, compact light, very fast autofocus for a macro, focus is internal.
Cons:Opening only f3.5 (which in the macro is not a fault, it is only because it can not be used as a portrait target), no fire limiter
Opinion:The goal is certainly a best buy in the Macro field, since it is the cheapest macro target for m4 / 3 and has high performance despite the poor opening and vabbeh that the macro is not a decisive one. The lens is sharp at full aperture and sharpness grows up to f5.6. There are no significant chromatic aberrations or deformities as in the panasonic cousin, blurry is nice. I highly recommend it for both the macro and the still life.
