Olympus equipped it with a premium \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"86\"\u003e28mm f\/3.5 Zuiko lens\u003c\/b\u003e (5 elements in 5 groups) that offers a wonderfully wide perspective with incredibly low distortion. But the real party trick is its close-focus capability: sliding the focus lever down allows you to focus as close as \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"325\"\u003e30cm (12 inches)\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eBecause it is a zone-focus camera (where you estimate the distance), focusing at 30cm can be tricky. Olympus solved this with pure analog genius: the camera’s original wrist strap doubles as a precise measuring tape. If you extend the strap fully, the distance from the camera body to the knot is exactly 0.3 meters (or 0.5 meters to the mid-way mark), guaranteeing pin-sharp macro shots every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Why It’s Highly Prized\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp
