Mint
Factory's MINT cameras and lenses have been overhauled or serviced to precise, like-new or near-mint specifications. All our mint items are Factory Certified and guaranteed to work flawlessly after our professional repair or CLA service.
Excellent
Factory items rated as EXCELLENT are thoroughly tested and inspected with task-specific equipment (shutter speed testers, for example) to ensure they function properly and accurately. Any existing flaws will be documented, but they will not impact typical use.
Good
All items with status GOOD are hand-tested, inspected, and confirmed to be in good working order. These items perform well, but may just show signs of use and wear, i.e. they are not in perfect cosmetic condition. Flaws will be noted, but they will not affect typical use.
Fair
All items marked as FAIR may have flaws that could affect how smoothly an item operates (a rear door may stick when being opened, or a lens focus ring may turn roughly). But even if the camera or lens doesn’t perform like new, or isn't in prime cosmetic condition, it still functions properly.
Please note that since FAIR items did not meet our quality control standards, we do not guarantee their performance or condition. Items are sold as-is.
The Olympus Zuiko 24mm f/2.8 is a compact, manual-focus wide-angle lens designed for the Olympus OM system. With a diagonal angle of view of 84°, it offers a broader perspective than standard 35mm lenses, making it ideal for landscapes, street photography, and environmental portraits.
Weighing approximately 180 grams and measuring just 31mm in length, this lens is exceptionally portable. Its optical construction consists of 8 elements in 7 groups, and it features a 6-blade aperture diaphragm. The lens accepts 49mm filters and focuses as close as 0.25 meters, allowing for versatile shooting scenarios.
While the lens performs well across various apertures, it exhibits some softness and vignetting at f/2.8, which improves significantly when stopped down to f/8 or f/11. Its compact size and solid build quality make it a valuable addition to any photographer’s kit, especially for those seeking a reliable wide-angle lens for both film and adapted digital use.
