Olympus Zuiko Auto-W 21mm f3.5 Ultra Wide Angle Lens
The Olympus OM-System Zuiko MC Auto-W 21mm f3.5 lens in all its glory! I had the opportunity to own this lens, but only for a short while. It's a wonderfully sharp super wide angle manual focus lens for Olympus OM cameras that has a great reputation among SLR lenses.
LIKES: Small, lightweight, very well made, sharp and contrasty; 42mm equivalent on Olympus 4/3 DSLR bodies with adapter - nice!
DISLIKES: Assuming you can afford a good clean example of this one, I doubt you'll find anything to complain about.
