I have bought both the F3.5 and the F2.8 and used them with OM1 and OM2 cameras and adapted to Micro 4/3. Both are sharp, contrasty. Both are small and light. Both have good control of distortion. Both have no floating elements or aspheric glass so get chromatic aberration (which you only see with giant enlargements. The F3.5 means darker focus screens which mirrorless cameras correct by amplifying the EVF, but on the film cameras the darker screen makes focus for interiors and at dusk a challenge. There are claims that the F3.5 is sharper - my experience is that there are no significant differences in acuity, contrast or colour rendition..Voting with my wallet, I owned both and kept only the F2.8. For eBayers - note that many more of the F2.8 model were sold - so prices are competetive. For collectors wanting a "full set" - the opposite is true. Read full review

The G-Zuiko AUTO-W 28mm f/3.5 was among one of the original batch ZUIKO lenses introduced along with the Olympus OM-1/M1 camera. Its optical construction has literally remained unaltered all these years until it was discontinued and replaced with the Zuiko 28mm f/2.8 (see top of this page). Optically, it has a 7 elements arranged in 7 groups composition and weighs 180g which actually the lense is heavier than the f/2.8 counterpart. It close-focuses to 0.3m with a body length marginally shorter at 31mm than the faster f/2.8 lense. Hallmark with high resolving power with ample marginal illumination makes it suitable for color photography. Other than a weakness found in its slower maximum aperture, the moderate perspective and most importantly, a modest entry price appeals to many OM photographers to select it as their prime wideangle lense in particular when you call for a good wideangle lense to shoot casual PR and/or leisure photography that may not require a fast lense speed - for an instance, it is a good companion wideangle use in combination with a flash. As with many other Zuiko lenses, it accepts any 49mm threaded filters. In terms of the factors weighing price over performance, this is the best ZUIKO 28mm wideangle. Strangely, according to the chart compiled by Rick, this version has no "MC" designation mentioned in the lens data throughout its entire product cycle. http://www.mir.com.myRead full review
Very nice lens that works well on a Sony Mirrorless camera, in aperture priority mode and with manual focusing.
Todo perfecto con algunas motas de polvo,pero no molesta para las fotos. Tiene un bokeh precioso y una manejabilidad buenisima.
