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!
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!
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.
Opinion:With this and bw film I would say a step back chronologically compared to digital, but finally a pleasant grain with three-dimensionality that I had forgotten. In digital we talk about noise here of grain that even if accentuated does not compromise the resolution . The mechanics are time-tested with fluidity now unknown. Long live the analog ! Maybe scanned, maybe worked a little computer, but the impact of chemical emulsion is unsurpassed.
Opinion:Bought on a market in the early 1990s, paid 20 000 lre (!), to complete my bizarre Olympus OM2 kit (I had the 35mm and a 135mm, plus I used for the macro an amazing 58mm screw lens of my old Zenit. Excellent lens, bright and engraved. Given all the film kit about twenty years ago, I bought back an Olympus kit (this time OM1) with this extraordinary goal. Very fun to use it!
