Olympus OM Zuiko 135mm f/2.8

Pros: Sharpness, color, contrast, shade, ergonomics, weight, mechanical quality, built-in hood

Cons: Light chromatic aberration to the edges (tried with Sony A7r), no stabilizer and autofocus (70's!)

Opinion: This is a very good telephoto lens, perfectly usable today, given the truly remarkable optical characteristics. Finally, the lack of stabilizer can be felt in low light conditions, and manually focusing on someone may be a problem. Apart from this, it is a goal that can still compete with modern optics. Its incredible price in the used market and weight-feather make it an excellent alternative to expensive and heavy modern lenses.

Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/3.5 Auto-macro

Pros: Great sharpness, image quality, versatility, reduced weight and size, mechanical, ergonomic, cost-effective

Cons: Limited aperture, no autofocus (1973!)

Opinion: "Normal" macro lens, with magnification ratio 1: 2 (covers an area of ??approx. 50 x 70 mm). Usable both as a macro and as a fifty, it always generates images at the top of the quality, from all points of view. At that time (in 1975) he was my "handyman", and now I'm happy to be able to reuse it. Since her poor opening is not ideal in conditions of precarious light. But in all the other situations if the quarry is fine. As the macro lens I think is still perfectly up to the height of its task. RnYou find it in the market of the used at an affordable price. Be highly recommended.

Olympus Zuiko MC Auto-W 18mm f/3.5

Pros: Dimensional size and weight, geometric distortion correction, sharpness (for a 70's view) colors, contrast, mechanical

Cons: Light chromatic aberration to the edges (proven with Sony A7R), still high cost, filter mounting possible only with a special adapter, as the front lens protrudes.

Opinion: This is a very valuable goal with today's very good features. Can be used with great satisfaction, it generates great quality images. You should try it with a Sony A7R II to see if the chromatic aberration on the edges improves.rnI believe that its purchase comes into line only if the price is favorable. On the market today there are products that probably have the best features. I have not tried it, so this statement is to be taken with the pliers.

MTO-11CA 1000mm f/10

Pros: Excellent cost-performance ratio. Not tested carefully.

Cons: My copy (actually my son ...) has required an adjustment described in the article below.

Opinion: Here's a good article on this goal: Better http://www.strickling.net/russentonne.htmo translated by Google: https://translate.google.it/translate?sl=de&tl=it&js=y&prev=_t&hl=it&ie= UTF-8 & u = http% 3A% 2F% 2Fwww.strickling.net% 2Frussentonne.htm & edit-text = the focus of my example is a bit 'hard, but once you find the right one to infinity, it can maintain.
