As hard as I tried, I could not find any reviews of the recently released 35mm Macro lens that I was interested in buying. So I bit the bullet and took a chance and bought one from B&H. After having it less then as week, I have to say that for the money compared to the 50mm I am extremely pleased. While I know this site for the most part favors Nikon and Canon I thought I'd post this here anyway. As there are alot of members who I have talked to who wanted me to post some photos in my profile from this lens. So I am going to put up some photos pretty much straight from the camera, no crops at all, then I am going to crop a section and zoom in. I hope this helps any other OLY owners make up your mind. One thing to keep in minds as well, I am still a newbie to dSLR cameras. So some of what you see may very well be me. I also am putting up a few pics at 1:4 portrait mode to show you how that looks. They are straight from the camera no crop.
 
 
 
 
Anyone who wishes to critique feel free to.

| I've have had the 35mm macro lens on backorder for a month now, maybe its time to cancel & order from B&H. Considering Olympus' legacy for macros I have high expectations. It looks sharp. Currently I'm using enlarger lens and Nikon lenses for macro. |

Wow I ordered it on Saturday and it was in my hands on Wednesday with 2 day UPS. I think I might cancel that order and try B&H.

Hi Matt,
Received your link to the forum and commented on a couple of images...I think that lens is very sharp..it looks as good as my 50mm..check my comments on pics; I had a couple of ideas..lol. Enjoy yourself, what happened to me is that I'm crazy about that macro lens and can't get away from doing macros all the time..I have a couple of flower images I'll post in my profile later today or tomorrow. |

| I agree with dragonlady.... lens looks sharp. Also, I like the interesting and useful focal length. |
