Cons:is no longer produced, deterioration of anti-glare treatment
Opinion:With a vast Olympus past, I've always snubbed this lens, sinful of arrogance. It is a grandiose lens, crisp already open from edge to edge and with a very rich contrast. I got my specimen for free because the front lens is veiled. I tried to disassemble it and then discovered that veiling is not an internal fungus but a probable oxidation of the anti-glare treatment of the anterior lens right on the outer side. I tried with a bit of everything but it was not possible to remove the veiling. I then replaced the bayonet by mounting a Nikon F adaptor and did the first tests on a D850 and a D200 comparing it to the 135 f2 DC and the 80-200 f4 AI-S two illustrious and out-of-the-question lenses. Well, little Zuiko 135 immediately showed his whole class playing it on par with the two sacred monsters mentioned above. Unfortunately, the veiling is seen a little with a slight nebulous effect that barely penalizes its contrast (already good even with this handicap), but this does not prevent you from using it, because the results are still respectable. Rating: a nice 9 to 10 over-deserved. To the admirers of 'vintage' I say: 'never again without' MA... ATTENTION: referring to the veiling mentioned above, I have verified, also on other specimens, that this lens has a certain tendency to point on the lower -inner- top of the front lens. It's NOT repairable. On a positive side, even if it affects the whole lens, it does not spoil the quality of the image but in the backlight. Personally, after trying in vain to eliminate it, I cannibalized another 135 who did not have the defect.
