Oly Wide-E. with a G. Zuiko-W F.C. 1:3.5 f=3.5cm. lens.
A point, zone focus and shoot camera! How is the lens?
a couple of 35 SPs, with the phenomonal G-Zuiko 1:1.7 f=42mm lens
Very sharp, very high contrast, impressive lens indeed. And the SP has an in-camera spot meter!
Oly 35-S with a E. Zuiko 1:2.8 f=4.5 cm. lens. Talk about a sharp lens in a rangefinder! Beautiful color, good contrast and overall, a lovely lens.
I also have one of these (S II 2.8) but have not tried it yet. Isn't it a 4.8cm lens rather? Interestingly, it's not a Tessar type lens like most 2.8 lenses from that era, but a 5 elements 4 groups one. Olympus says (sings) in the camera booklet that this "lens eliminates all types of spherical and chromatic aberration. It gives perfect horizontal and vertical delineation, is completely free from astigmatism, is fully coated and corrected." Well...
The camera you want now is the Wide-S with a 35mm f/2. Olympus mentions the lens is highly corrected for distorsion among other things. From two test slides I took (brick wall and buildings), it seems so.
As it is not an OT thread... I'll add that, from a friend's experience, Pentax's first AF P&S, the AF35, has a very good lens, a non-Tessar 5 elements in 5 groups. A small metal point and shoot, with exposure control (asa ring) contrary to later DX decoding cameras.
