Price Paid:
$1369.00
from B&H Summary: Outstanding. Can't think of a word to
emphasize its performance more. Wide
open its very good, by f/8 its sharpness
is insane!! Of course this is assuming
you use a steady support for your camera.
(There are idiots out there who hand hold their cameras with mega $$$$ lenses and then complain about their sharpness).
Build quality is superb, and has an exquisite feel to the touch. This is my
prime (err..zoom) workhorse lens that I carry everywhere with me for serious travel photography. When I get the slides
back from the lab and lay them out on the light table,I can only look at them with a film in my eye and say, "Oh Olympus, why did you quit on us?" Strengths: Sharpness?? This is *retarded* sharp !
Contrast, color, build quality. Weaknesses: Slight hint of barrel at 35mm. Not a
problem because this is not an architecture lens.
Cost. This lens doesn't come cheap, but it
promises the highest performance for what
you pay. People spend a couple of grand on new high end computers every few years
that loose nearly all their value afterward.
But good lenses, like diamonds, are forever. Similar Products Used: Zuiko 35-70/3.6
