Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 30mm f/3.5 Macro Lens

Macro photography is a heap of fun but it is a learning curve as it is very different to say portrait photography. Robyn Wong shows you some techniques to get you starter. The Olympus 60mm macro is also linked from this page.

This lens boasts a maximum 2.5x[*] image magnification, the highest level for a macro lens with a standard focusing range. With performance like this, you can photograph a world invisible to the unaided eye.

*35mm equivalent

• Maximum image magnification of 2.5x
• Superb optical performance that provides beautiful images
• Beautiful circular bokeh
• Fast AF ensures that you don't miss a photo opportunity
• Compatible with the underwater shooting system

With an uncompromising optical construction that includes DSA and EDA lenses, superb resolution is achieved. Superb optical performance results in virtually distortion-free, beautiful circular shaped bokeh.

A lighter design for the focusing lens group makes this item 20 to 30% faster. You’ll never miss the perfect moment. Focus Bracketing, which slightly shifts the focus location in multiple shots, can be used for macro shooting. Using this function and photo editing software to composite the recorded images, you can create shots that look good enough to be in an illustrated encyclopedia.

By using this lens with a camera equipped with 5-axis IS (image stabilisation), image blur that often occurs in macro photography due to camera shift is minimized due to the powerful camera shift compensation provided by the 5-axis IS system. This lets you shoot macro photos handheld, with confidence.

This lens is compatible with the separately available underwater shooting system for authentic underwater macro shooting.
