## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a reverse ring for macro shots compatible with this lens?**
A: I am not completely sure. However, as far as I researched Zuiko Lenses for my own purchases, I am not aware of such a fitting. There may be some independent 'aftermarket' devices on the micro FourThirds pattern, though I very much doubt this. If you are looking for Macro facility, then there are appropriate Macro lenses, which will not diminish the top level functioning of the Olympus OM-D camera you have.

**Q: Would you recommend this lens for street photography**
A: Yes.  Some people like, in full-frame terms, 35mm primes for street photography while others like 50mm.  This lens equates, in full frame terms to 28 -84mm and so covers both these ranges.  Primes are faster lenses though and are thought to give sharper images.  In my experience, sharpness is less of an issue for street photography.  You can take perfectly fine street photography images with this zoom lens.  It is cheap and gives you scope to alter the field of view.

**Q: Will this produce images which will print OK at A3 size for home display?**
A: Should do - I’ve not had the lens long, so not made any prints, but as long as the rest of your technique is up to scratch I wouldn’t anticipate any problems.
