Pros: Contrast and size

Cons: Sharpness on APS-C

Opinion: The 24 f 2.8 was a great lens for film cameras, and is also effective on digital but it all depends on the sensor. This review is based on a Zuiko 24 f 2.8 latest series (no silver nose) with MC lens treatment and images taken with Nikon D200, D3200, D7200 and D850. At full opening, on FF, the Zuiko 24 f2.8 in the center produces a slightly veiled image but always with a very rich contrast, the sharpness becomes good already starting from F4 and F5.6-8 is practically equivalent to Sigma art 24 f1.4 (the sharpness of the sigma still remains unrevable to all diaphragms but the differences at f5.6-8 are minimal). Closing the Zuiko at f8, the sharpness in the center is excellent but on the sides the results may not be unique on all cameras: on the D850 it shows a slight loss of detail on the sides and instead has impeccable clarity throughout the field on a Sony A7 II; there is, however, a not excessive chromatic aberration and a visible vignetting that must be corrected in PP, and a sensitive flare in the shooting with the sun in the frame. What is appreciated about the Zuiko 24 is the contrast that returns an excellent wealth of tones that combined with its very small size combined with its more than good quality, make it practically irreplaceable, without any regrets when there is to walk many hours with your backpack. On the APS-C (D200, D3200, D7200), the Zuiko 24 f2.8 returns images that are crisp and appreciable for their richness in hues, but on the cameras listed it drops in yield to the edges to the point that on these old technology sensors it is lower for sharpness at the edges even compared to the economical nikkor AFS 18-55 VR standard. For all that has been said, before finalizing the purchase, it must be considered that the yield of this lens depends a lot on the camera sensor, it can be critical on APS-C but on FF and also on M4/3 it proves to be a super lens with a superlative contrast. Some notes about the use on Nikon bodies: the Olympus pull is just half a millimeter shorter than the Nikon; for this reason it is possible to easily disassemble the OLY bayonet and mount a nikon bayonet suitably lowered like the Leitax. I DO NOT RECOMMEND other cheaper bayonets because those tried by me are dimensionally incorrect by a couple of tenths and do NOT keep the focus infinite. Leitax are much more expensive but are mechanically impeccable. Unlike the Nikkor, on the Zuiko the diaphragm always remains open, so it is necessary to block the diaphragm so that it works stop-down (I used a very banal elastic because every other mechanical intervention was too invasive). The exposure meter of the Dxxx-DF-Dx series machines and also the D7000-7100-7200 works regularly (in stop down) and it is possible to shoot in manual or automatism A -diaphragm priority-. A technical detail: on nikons, mounting an lens with a flange without any data transmission - as for the Leitax adapter - the camera firmware refuses to formatting the memory card with the two quick keys, you have to do it from the menu. I do not vote because, on digital, the real value of this lens depends too much on the sensor.
