OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED - Review

As a product reviewer, I had the pleasure of testing the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro, an exceptional macro lens designed for Micro Four Thirds System Cameras by OM Digital Solutions. This lens is a game-changer for photographers who specialize in macro photography, thanks in part to its impressive magnification capabilities and advanced features.

Magnification:

The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro provides an impressive 2x magnification, which is equivalent to 4x magnification when compared to a 35mm lens. This makes it an ideal option for capturing sharp, high-resolution close-up images. However, the magnification capabilities of this lens don't end there. When paired with the MC-20 teleconverter, it can achieve up to 4x magnification, which is equivalent to 8x magnification on a 35mm lens. This pairing makes the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro an excellent choice for photographers looking to capture even the tiniest of details in their images.

Autofocus:

One of the standout features of this lens is its class-leading high-speed and high-precision autofocus. As someone who has had their fair share of frustration with slow autofocus lenses, I can attest to the importance of a good autofocus system. The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro, however, exceeded my expectations. The autofocus was both fast and accurate, allowing me to capture sharp images with ease.

Minimum Shooting Distance:

Another noteworthy feature of the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro is its minimum shooting distance of 0.224m. This allows photographers to get incredibly close to their subjects, making it perfect for capturing those microscopic details. The ability to get so close to your subject is also an excellent tool for creating artistic images with limited depth of field.

Weather Sealed Design:

Weather sealing is a feature that is often overlooked when it comes to lenses. However, it can be a lifesaver when you unexpectedly find yourself shooting in less than ideal conditions. The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro has IP53 splashproof and dustproof performance, which means it can hold up against the elements. This feature makes it a perfect lens for outdoor photography, even in unpredictable weather conditions.

MF Clutch:

For those who prefer manual focus, the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro also includes a focus clutch. This feature allows manual focus adjustments to be made with precision and ease. This manual focus clutch takes the guesswork out of manual focusing, making it easy to get the perfect shot every time.

Fluorine Coating:

Lastly, the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro includes a fluorine coating. This coating helps to repel dust, dirt, and moisture, making it ideal for outdoor photographers who are consistently subjecting their gear to harsh conditions. The fluorine coating makes cleaning the lens a breeze, and it also ensures that the image quality remains high, even in less than ideal situations.

Conclusion:

Overall, the OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro is an exceptional lens with advanced features that set it apart from similar lenses on the market. The magnification capabilities, high-speed autofocus, and weather-sealed design make it ideal for macro photography and outdoor shooting. The manual focus clutch and fluorine coating are additional features that add to the overall experience of using this lens. I rate this product 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to anyone looking to invest in a high-quality macro lens for their Micro Four Thirds System Camera.
