Pros: Sharpness, easy handling

Cons: Resolution on dense sensors

Opinion: I use it from time to time, on my digital Olympus, so very dense and demanding sensors, the character is there and the sharpness too, but too closed colors without pleasant variations, if you find it at a more than honest price buy it, but honestly it does 2 times better than the 25 f1.8 ... I got it as a gift... every now and then I mount it to play with it... all in all I still put aside my tastes in expressing a vote and I gave 9

Pros: Sharpness, easy focusing, robustness

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Recovered from my glorious Olympus OM 10 bought exactly 40 years ago. I didn't expect this lens to be so sharp, so easy to focus that it was super easy and enjoyable to use. After 40 years, it looks like new, which speaks in favor of its build quality. I mainly use it to make landscape mosaics; for this use it is the best lens I have (even the Helios 44-* are not bad). At f/11 it is also razor-sharp in the corners on my Sony a6000. For close-up use at large aperture, it makes a beautiful gradient with a hint of swirl. In summary: a wonderful lens that I am very happy about. 30 laude.

Pros: Image quality, contrast, focus accuracy, compactness and lightness

Cons: In ta backlight it loses a lot of contrast and sharpness (but it is still a vintage with therefore an anti-glare treatment not up to the current ones), minimum focus distance of 0.45m

Opinion: It is simply pleasant to use, thanks to its comfort of use and above all to the optical quality quietly comparable to that of 50mm even more recent; beautiful aesthetically and inexplicably very cheap (it is also in excellent condition at €20/€30 currently). Its merits make it a best buy lens capable of still giving great satisfaction after almost 50 years, although its best version seems to be the third produced since the late 1980s. The focus ring is precise, the blurry in my opinion pleasant, the level of detail in the images makes it also suitable for landscape use or close up, perhaps with extension tubes given the minimum focus distance not really short. Good level of contrast and balanced color rendering, perhaps sometimes tending very little to warm shades. Achilles heel are the backlights, especially with artificial lighting, to which the now dated anti-glare treatment can not resist, compromising sharpness and contrast and highlighting chromatic aberrations. On the whole it is certainly a lens capable of being appreciated and to which you are easily attached!

Pros: Sharpness, price

Cons: Focus ring too hard

Opinion: I've used this lens for almost all of my shots so far and I'm more than satisfied. The focus, which is done by moving a fairly hard ring, is very precise: I just need to use the focus peaking of my camera to get very sharp images. It is located at very low prices, I would say it is absolutely worth it!

Pros: the price, the detail, I enjoy.

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: an old optic of my old olympus kit that I never wanted to undo. I use it with an adapter ring for my EMD OM 5 Mark II and to make macro I add an extension ring. I like the result and it takes me back in time. The detail seems good to me and the result also. Sometimes it gives a soft vibe to the image. For the price for which it is located it is worth it.
