Thanks for your input - I now believe that I had the OM4 on auto but the
diaphragm on 2.8 or something dumb like that. Doing a new test roll now. You
recommend manual camera for test? (OM1?)
P.S. This is actually Gabe husband of Judy (who kindly gave me this account a
year or so ago so it's still in her name.) I am the camera bug, she is the
painter in the family.
Cheers !

There must be something wrong with the lens you tested, were you using OM-1
or use other OMs in manual mode for the test? Zuiko 55/1.2 is one of my
favorite lens, with excellent resolution, I have no problem to use it with
slides.

Subject: [OM] 55mm 1.2 lens
I'm a longtime Zuikoholic, newcomer to this "forum" and somewhat
overwhelmed by the amount of daily mail y'all generate. Anyway - to the point.
I like fast fixed lenses and have the 40 f2 85 f2 100 f2 and a Vivitar series
1 135 f2.3 along with a bunch of slower lenses. I was recently offered (for
what I believe to be a very good price) a 55 f1.2 - I've had this lens for a
week, took some casual test shots (I think I screwed up the exposure and was
WAY overexposed) and was surprised to see some really lousy results. I've seen
talk about how poor this lens is - could somebody or everybody elaborate? The
outer ring has the following writing on it -

Thanks everyone
