Hi,
I would like to know which Zuiko is the best with this focal lenght:
Zuiko 35-70/3.5-4.5
Zuiko 35-70/3.6
Zuiko 35-70/4.0
Zuiko 35-70/4.0 AF
I think everybody will go for the "35-70/3.6". I have read that is
superb rivalling the very best fixed focal lenght lenses in sharpness,
color and contrast!!!
But if you look at MP tests, you can see that 35-70/3.6 isn´t
too much contrasty. But if you have a look at the bottom with MP test
from Zuiko 35-70/3.5-4.5, you can see "at first" a more powerful lens.
1.)I work with a 50mm/f1.2 and I would like to know if 70mm at 4.5 is
ok for portrait and if the background is going to be more out of focus
than with 50mm at f1.2
The resolution, can be compared to Zuiko 50mm/f1.2???
2.)I don´t know if this type of lens can be AF, because I will use it
with my OM4Ti, and I can´t use AF with OM manual focus cameras, can
you???
