The Olympus D.Zuiko 30mm f/2.8 lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches.

Specialist Note "The EES.2 is my personal favorite of the PEN family because it gives you that extra bit of control with the zone focusing. What I love about this S/N: 3467532 is the f/2.8 lens; it has a specific 'bite' and micro-contrast that makes black and white film look absolutely stunning. The addition of the hot shoe on this model makes it incredibly practical for indoor parties or evening street walks with a small flash. It’s a rugged, joyful piece of Japanese engineering that encourages you to take more photos and worry less about the cost of film. It’s the ultimate tool for analog storytelling."
