Olympus OM Zuiko MC 100mm f/2.8

Pros: Compact, balanced, usable at high

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I own several Olympus lenses and other vintage ones, this is my favorite in terms of weight balance and optical performance. A centimeter longer than the 50mm, very light despite its metal construction, on the 12 mp sensor of the Sony A7S you do not appreciate the drop in sharpness at the edges that allows you to play on the diaphragm without worrying about the best performance. The difference between f2.8 and f8 is only a slight warm cast on the wider aperture, otherwise indistinguishable. These characteristics make it one of the most expensive vintage 100mm despite its low brightness (considering its embarrassing compactness), sometimes some brighter lenses are almost completely unusable with a fully open aperture and force you to close by at least one stop, squandering the technical characteristics they sport. A wild card!
