Not so says the site:
28mm f/3.5 Zuiko (single-coated)

minty sample; OM-1 with mirror lockup 

Vignetting = B @ f/2.8, A- elsewise

Distortion = slight barrel

Aperture  Center    Corner     

f/3.5     B+        B-

f/5.6     B+        B+

f/8       A-        A

f/11      A-        B+

f/16      A-        B+

Note: Moderately low contrast @ f/3.5, moderately high
contrast elsewise.
