OM 35mm F2.8 or ZD 35mm F3.5?

[shaoken]

I'm thinking of a 35mm fast lens.

But unsure whether to get the OM 35mm F2.8 or the Olympus ZD 35mm F3.5 macro.

I interested in close-up shots of people and some shots of flowers etc..

Need advices from you guys.
Thanks.

I don't have any of the lens you mentioned, but can I counter-proposed that you spend a bit more and get the 50mm f/2 macro instead? It's a 2-in-1 lens, great for macro, and excellent for portraits. You'll love the bokeh on the 50mm for portraits

But I already have the OM 50mm F1.8 lens.
So that's why I never thought of the 50mm F2 macro.

I only have OM35F2.8, It a great lens!! but only on manual focusing.

ZD 35mm F3.5 is a macro lens, so I believe it will hunt quite often.

I have an OM 28mm F3.5 and an OM 50mm F1.8.
Do you think I should get an OM 35mm F2.8?

well, I think 28mm give u quite a good distance for portrait, y u still wan other similar range lens?

if ur thread is ZD25mm F2.8 or OM28mm F3.5 I will definitely say ZD25mmF2.8

True. I think it does not make much difference from what I currently have.
OM 28mm F3.5
OM 50mm F1.8

Thanks for your advices.
