Lens Overview — Olympus 24mm f/2.8 H. Zuiko Auto-W

The Olympus OM 24mm f/2.8 H. Zuiko Auto-W is a manual focus wide-angle prime lens built for the Olympus OM camera system. Covering a full-frame image circle, this 24mm prime offers a maximum aperture of f/2.8, making it a solid choice for photographers who want a compact, lightweight wide-angle option in their kit.

At just 180g, it's notably light for a full-frame capable lens, which makes it well-suited for extended shooting sessions where carrying weight matters. The lens uses a 49mm filter thread, a compact size that keeps accessory costs reasonable and fits neatly into most filter systems. As a manual focus only lens, it rewards photographers who are comfortable with precise focus control — a common expectation for lenses of this era and design lineage.

Mounted via the Olympus OM bayonet, it is compatible with the full range of OM-mount SLR cameras. Whether used on original OM-series film bodies or adapted to modern mirrorless systems with an appropriate third-party adapter, the 24mm focal length on a full-frame format delivers a classic wide perspective well-suited to landscape, architectural, and street-style shooting.
