Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, colour rendering, ... manual focus

Cons: None

Opinion: The Zuiko is a Sonnar Type. I have a Planar Type, Nikon 2/85mm Ais, too. The Planar Type is very sharp almost like Macro Lens. So I was looking for a lens which captures people in a more pleasing way. At F2 the depht of field is very small and the bokeh is soft and creamy. The colours are very nice. A friend reported that there is chromatic aberration at f2 in contrasting situations. He uses a Sony A7R. My cameras have only 20 and 25 Megapixel. And I do my best to set the fokus by using the magnifer. Fokus Peaking alone is not good enough. I have not observed chromatic aberration up to now. By the the way it was the picture of Marko Markovic by Roberto Kravos, which convienced me to buy this lens.

Pros: Nice transition between focus and out of focus, natural colors, great for portraits at f2-2.8, very sharp from 2.8 to f11 on full frame

Cons: chromatic aberration at f2 in contrasting situations

Opinion: I have the version "silvernose", which is the first generation that has a lower coating multicoated later versions (which are composed of 5 elements in 4 groups). I chose this version for its ability to move in a delicate from fire zones to those of fuorifuoco, a typical capacity of the schema that returns a Sonnar bokeh soft and natural. Great skin tone in my avviso.rnQuindi great portrait lens, but small apertures I used successfully for landscapes. F8 seems to return the highest sharpness, but even at 2.8 is a lama.rnIl its weak point is the presence of chromatic aberration in high-contrast situations in apertures, typically the sun's reflection on the water, but nothing extraordinary, correctable in post and in line with its competitors also moderni.rnOvviamente a lens hood always helps.

Pros: Size, excellent mechanical dial soft focus and fluid filters from 49 optical yield very uniform

Cons: Currently a disability can be considered the manual focus

Opinion: I found a review in an old issue of "The Photographer" with the attached diagram risolvenza that says "... once again we are faced with a remarkable lens for uniformity of performance at all apertures and all over the field. The performance continues to progress up to f11, where it stabilizes and does not show even the slightest drop to minimum aperture. mitigated by the enthusiasm we think that the resolving power at wide apertures is small, barely acceptable at 5.6 and only really satisfactory f8 onwards. Excellent instead distortion, of which few traces remain barely perceptible pincushion .... "Nevertheless, I bought it at the time, and it was one of my favorites length: ideal for portraits, I got used to the whole opening ever images with excellent contrast and colors. I think it is to carefully reconsider its use in digital, especially with the APS-C format, to get a tele f 2 with brightness!
