Looks like the haze/clouding is more noticable in these shots.

Thanks for looking



Is that the scratched one from eBay?

Hi TWok

I bought the 18mm months ago. The focus ring is very vauge with movement. When I look through the back of the lens I can see clouding or haze. I can see it on a lot of my shots. I must send it away to see if it an be fixed. Is the chap Zuiko.com ? the best place.

Hopefully the lens can be serviced and made good. Its a shame as I enjoy using it.

John Hermanson at www.zuiko.com is indeed the best place for OM work. But in UK I would suggest a call to Luton Cameras, which is where Olympus UK have been sending all their OM for several years, as best I know.

Thanks for the info. I might ring Luton Cameras up - just too see if its worth repairing.

2nd the recommendation for John @ zuiko.com.

It's definitely worth repairing, no doubt. Even with cost of repair it's still probably the best value/performance in that focal length, from anyone.

YES!!!

I just won a 18/3.5 on eBay.

My hands are shaking from excitement, and I got it for a great price! (atleast in my opinion)

I can't wait to contribute to this thread with it.

@Kyle: Did you just buy the lens with all the cleaning marks on the front element?

No - I just bought the Nikkor 14-24 yesterday but was considering getting an 18 Oly.

Hope it works well for you!

^Thanks, this is my dream lens in my favorite focal length, so I am extremely excited.

The only thing that sucks is that I'm going to have to sell my Zuiko 21/3.5

I just can't justify having both.

This lens kicks so much ass. I was shooting foliage landscapes today (NH White Mountains), and just putting it on the camera, looking through it, you can tell it's something special. I think mine will live with the 49-72 on it from now on, it's handy to protect it and since I have been using it with filters lately, saves a step or two. THe bummer is now it needs a different case as it won't fit in the original one with the 49-72 mounted.

Kyle, as good as the 21/3.5 is (and it IS good) the 18 is better, you won't miss the 21. Get an oly 24/2.8 to fill the gap maybe.
