By f/4 vignetting is 1.7 stops and at f/5.6 it still measures 1.5 stops. At f/2.8 it is reduced a little to still significant 2.3 stops. Image Quality VignettingĪt f/2 vignetting is very strong at 3 stops. The front of the lens does not rotate so polarizers are easy to use. The 49 mm filter thread is made from metal

The aperture ring sits at the front of the lens and it has full stops from f/2 to f/16 which click into place very nicely. I think this is one of the best aperture ring designs I have come across.

I think the Olympus 2/28 makes little sense on a crop sensor and I can only recommend to buy a full frame camera so the Sony Alpha 7 series cameras are your only choice (unless you have too much money and want a Leica SL).

The Olympus Om 2/28 can of course be used on a wide range of Olympus OM film cameras but I know little about those so I can’t tell you any details.

This is the version I own (don’t be confused by the wrong name in the exifs, would have been quite a hassle to change that after I noticed my mistake). The MC was dropped from the name but that is the only change.

The last youngest version is the Olympus Zuiko Auto-W 1:2 28 mm.

The Olympus Zuiko MC Auto-W 1:2 f=28 mm with “silver nose” is the oldest version.

Versions For practical purposes I see only one version of the Olympus OM 2/28: In Germany you can buy it for 130-200€ at (affiliate link).

The Olympus OM 2/28 is the smallest manual 2/28 mm lens you can buy and in this in-depth review on the Sony a7II I check if it is still relevant in 2017.
