A 100mm equivalent, this remarkably light and compact lens offers rapid if less-than-silent autofocus, Slight barrel distortion (0.14%), no detectable light falloff. Maximum magnification: 1:1.6.
This is the second macro lens for Olympus's Four Thirds digital system, and while it lacks the 1:1 magnifying power of the earlier 35mm f/3.5 macro Zuiko, at f/2.0, it's much faster. Given the 2X 35mm lens factor on all Olympus DSLRs, the 50mm macro has a 100mm equivalent field of view -- more traditional in macro.
